This Year is Different! Please Read Every Rule Category...
We’ve established some rules to help assure the very best possible “TSP experience” for our attendees. Adding rules is something we would prefer not to do, but is essential whenever you bring hundreds of people together in one space for over a week.

THIS IS A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PLANNING, WORKING AND MANAGING AND SOON RUNNING OF TSP 2022!
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.
From the Beginning:
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.
Chris Ober, Christine Ober, Rick Kirchhof, Scott Mitchell, Rene Gedaly, Luanne Cullen, Christina LeGrand, George Ellis, Allen Gilchrest, Anne Adkins, Steve Coleman, David Moody, Steve Goldberg, Amelia Goldberg, Don Jarvis, Fred Lusen,Gary Carter, Dana Lambert, Jayne Lambert, Becky Ramotowski, Ted Saker, Don Selle, Fred Miller, Sandra Miller, Kelly Miller, Will Young, Courtney Young, Robert Reeves, Warren Wundt, Len Philpot, Walt Cooney, Anne Saker, Craig Colbert, Joe Khalaf, Gene Briles, Matt Delevoryas, Danile Vrolijk, Larry Beatty, David Higgens, Jim Edlin, Phil Kuebler, Steve Leikind, Victor Stover, Calvin Embry, Logan Brock, roy Uyematsu, Mike Valentine, Jason Adamick, Alan Myers, Wilma Myers, Doug McCormick, Bill Flanagan, Gary Allen, Rachael, Jue Medders, Larry Mitchell, Doris Gajeske, Martha Browers, Greg Jones, Dodie Reagan, Eugene Reagan. Paul Mcallum, Matt Cooper, Stacy Shepherd, Hunt Armistead, Albert Smith, Stephen Barrett, Joyce Barrett, Bob Van Gulick, Keith Rivik, Randall Light, Lee Smith, Greg Haubrich, Tim Parson, David Tosteson and the many more that unfortunately I do not have their names. All of you are TSP! All of you give of your time to make The Texas Star Party’s This Year’s TSP 2022 event “The Premier Star Party”.
The list from past years would be as long as this list. I tip my hat to them as well.
And let us not forget those who work at the Prude Ranch to make our time away from home more comfortable.
Bruce Davis, Emerald, Kim, Kelly, Miguel, Micky Jr. Valerie and Micky Sr. and the new staff whose names I have not yet learned. Thank you to all of you as well.
I am humbled by all the work you all have done and/or have committed to do. You are simply the Best! I salute you all!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
