“Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930”

I did a school report on him in 1970 when I was in I believe the 4th grade, I wish I still had it because I remember being fascinated by it. He actually made his own telescope, lenses and mirrors included.

I met Clyde Tombaugh in 1986 at an induction to the Space Hall of Fame in Alamogordo, NM.

Very gracious man. He sat and played with my then 2 year old son for about 10 minutes. He said he loved children, they helped keep him feeling young.
