> I once got to hear the late Clyde W. Tombaugh give a talk, back when Pluto was a planet. Wonderful experience.

His sister was my 5th grade teacher.

Tombaugh was in his 80s when I heard him talk, but he was full of passion and excitement about astronomy. If his sister was anything like him, you were fortunate to have her as a teacher.
