ATM Big donation for Ritchey mail-out




Dear Fellow ATM's-

One of our colleagues has made a generous donation to help subsidize our
"resurrection" of "Gee Dubya", so Monday, early, sharp, I will make up a
large batch of copies of the 1904 paper to mail out. If we can get a few
more money orders in, that will ensure that everyone on the list including
our European friends can have a copy. I will, of course, return overages to
those of who were so considerate enough to send extra. And, I will include
some excellent drawings that most of you have neer seen of Ritchey's
imagined giant reflectors of the future. Including a beautiful fork mounted
6.5 metre giant-. And a passable photo of the man himself with Chretien,
inspecting their first (.5 metre) Ritchey Chretien reflector. A beautiful,
compact little masterpiece. Will be broadcasting this stuff soon- thanks for
your support with this.

I believe that Ritchey will become the giant (retrospectively) that he
deserved to be in his own time.

Sincerely,
Dave Harbour
