Hi Friends, Roge is back from his trip so I hope to have photos for the chunk lamp project in the next week. Below he clarified for me his involvement with the Hubble Lens. When Dan passed on the story to me he wasn't quit on mark. Here's what Roge wrote today. His envolvement was very special. Read below, Wendy

Where you posted information on my history I did not make the actual Hubble Telescope lenses. What I supplied were plastic castings of the basic size of the lenses so that the manufacturer could use it as a machining test run to make sure of measurements, design problems and holding fixture for the finished glass. Kind of important, because to set up to do glass was a major manufacturing process light years from my capabilities. Another note: they were in such a hurry that they had to air freight some of the huge castings to the east coast which in some cases cost more than the castings I made for them. Any correction on your site would be greatly appreciated. Roge
