The Memphis Astronomical Society turns 70 years old. Founded in November 1953 by Bob Ritter, Bob Allred and Jon Buhler, long-time M.A.S. member and president emeritus Bill Busler takes us on a journey to the founding and early days of the Memphis Astronomical Society. Bill Busler joined the M.A.S. in 1957 when he was just 12 years old. He wrote the bylaws, designed the M.A.S. logo, coined the term ‘MeteorWrite’ for the newsletter, served on the board from 1959-2016 and was president of M.A.S. in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 2015-16. Also in attendance, Michael Snowden- early M.A.S. member and president in the mid-1950’s. Bill discusses the founding of M.A.S., the development of the Planetarium at the Pink Palace, and the meeting format in the early days. Special thanks to all who have contributed to the ongoing success and longevity of M.A.S. over the past 7 decades. Let’s keep it going! See you at the 80th.
