Without all of ya’lls help, TSP 2022…any TSP star party would never get off the ground. It would just be a dream a vision waiting to bud and at some time flower.
Deborah Byrd, our original visionary and founder for the 1st 3 years 1979 to 1982.
David Clark, George Ellis, and Don Garland: our 2nd set of founders who kept the dream alive from 1982 to present.
All of the people I have mentioned above and for those who follow, they all share a few things in common.
They love Texas Star Party. They love astronomy. And they love being of service to our attendees: past, present and future TSP Star Parties. They are the real true heros of Texas Star Party, Inc and the TSP star party itself. They work very hard for months before the event, and even harder setting up for the event, during and after. While the dust of the last attendee’s car is leaving the Prude Ranch, there are those still on the job tearing down and cleaning up.
I will not get every name, but I will list those that I can remember. It is a long list. If I do not mention you, I do apologize. It is not intentional.
