We did an outreach program at Charlie Elliott for the second group of the Children’s School in Atlanta.  At the end of the solar session, Stephen Ramsden awarded the Jon Wood Memorial Outreach award from his Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project to me.  I simply did not have any words at the time, I was too surprised.  but I would like to thank Stephen for this award, which is very dear to me for two reasons:  one, outreach to these students is very important to me in an effort to show them that there are interesting opportunities in astronomy, physics and space exploration, and second for it to be the Jon Wood Memorial Award.  To top it off, the award came with a PST CaK and a DMK31AU04.AS camera.  Thanks again Stephen!
