We were priviledged to have the Earl and Vesto Slipher descendants come to the unveiling of the plaque honoring their HUGE accomplishments and contributions to astronomy.  From the Hubble-(Vesto) Slipher expansion of the universe versus redshift and Earl's contributions as a planetary astronomer with his concentration on Mars.  Both brothers made lasting contributions to astronomy.
Thank you very much for honoring us with your presence as well as allowing us to share in this photograph!
