A letter to Larry January 15, 2014 7:23 pm ER

Thanks, Larry.

As you can imagine, this article means a great deal to me. Thank you so much for sending me the link. I know you recall my first published work was in your SETIQuest, (Vol 1, No 4, 1995): “The SETI Potential of Open Star Clusters”. M67 was one of the old open clusters I selected as potential targets, and you picked a stock POSS image of it to illustrate the article. And here we are, almost twenty years later.

I claim no credit for this discovery, the logic of looking in old OCs for planets is obvious to any undergraduate astronomy student, or even any serious amateur. But it still feels good. Thanks for this, and thanks for that, too.
