Thursday's edition of the national newspaper, Investor's Business Daily, includes an article on the life of Pittsburgh astronomer and telescope-maker John A. Brashear.

Retired Allegheny Observatory Director George Gatewood and I were quoted in this story, which actually first ran in the newspaper on 2006 October 18. Both days, the article ran on the "Leaders and Success" page (page A3).
