Education and Outreach:

I maintain a strong interest in astronomy education. My document "Astronomy Education and Instructional Aids" was distributed worldwide by the International Astronomical Union. With colleague Wulff D. Heintz (Swarthmore College), working under contract with Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, my translated the three-volume Compendium of Practical Astronomy from the German into English. In order to acquaint people with the night sky, I initiated weekly and monthly telescope viewing sessions at Widener University (www.towntalknews.com).
