Mike Rossetti, Treasurer
 

Years lived in Ohio:I have lived in Canton, Ohio for all 21 years of my

life.  Unfortunately, I know a sky that yields only poor viewing.
 

Profession (day job):I have completed two years at Walsh University, located in North Canton, Ohio.  I will have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a minor in Theology after two more years.  I plan to pursue mathematics to the Ph.D. level.

 

Years with the club: I am in my second year with the club, still a tenderfoot.

 

Club positions held: This is my only position thus far.  I have given two

planetarium shows, contributed an article to the Horizon (our quarterly
publication), and help to edit our web page.
 

Years observing: I started learning the constellations in the Autumn of

1998.  I bought my first and only scope in the Summer of 2000, after
borrowing club scopes since Winter 1999.
 

Formal astronomy training: Nothing formal.  I read a lot.

 

Special projects: I like to bring astronomy to those who have no

acquaintance with it, which includes almost everyone who is not an amateur astronomer or an interested professor.  I particularly enjoy learning about the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
 

Scopes presently owned: I recently purchased my first and only scope.  It's an Orion SkyQuest 8" f/6 Dob.  It is a wonderful scope.

 

Type of observing most interested in: Everything!  Actually, I'm starting to enjoy particular objects: double stars, galaxies, clusters, Saturn.

 

Visions for the club: I love feeling that the club has much knowledge and

friendship to offer.  I would like the club to consider relentlessly ways to
use it's talents.
