Awesome! My 12yr old even wrote down facts to keep so she could share her knowledge. Kevin made it really interesting and because of that we signed up for another one! Great program for those hot summer days and cool nights to look at the stars and learn more about them.

We met Kevin at Dixon, Illinois, where my kids got to watch a meteor shower with him. After he answered all my children's questions and took pictures with them. We are fulfilling elijahsbabybucketlist.com for my terminal son! He helped make unforgettable memories my kids will cherish for their entire lifetime!

Thank you, Amy! I am praying for Elijah to be healed. The name of Jesus Christ is above the name of Lissencephaly.
Kevin Manning's presentations are fantastic. They are engaging and filled with well-organized astronomy information. I am pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering, enkindled in part by Kevin's presentations that I attended when I was younger.

Thank you so much, Nicholas! It was always a unique pleasure to have you in my class, and thankful to Donna for her encouraging presence as well. I still enjoy looking at the picture of you and her with the telescope you built from scratch. Blessings to you in your new career.
