Rest Peaceful, Dad

Tonight I went out & looked for you in the night sky, Dad.  You left this earth in physical form 2 years ago tonight.  It is still hard to find you in the night sky, but tonight I looked hard & long for you.

MCDONALD OBSERVATORY 3
From Joey Castillo

The sky is clear at the observatory that you loved so much.  People use the telescope that is in your name there every day, looking up in to the sky for meaning or for direction.  Some folks stop long enough to look at the metal marker that memorializes you.

We remember you today, Lobel Alva Carlton - you would have been 82 this past Saturday.  We miss you.  We'll keep looking in that gorgeous sky you loved so much.

My friend, we both have fathers in common who clearly had a passion for the stars. May I offer my Dad's memorial jointly with yours, to strengthen our mutual inheritance and to tell others of how inspiring these men were to each of us.
