This is in reply to the person who wanted a list of nearby stars (Bruce
Webster?); I have lost the address.  Oh, to be in Tucson again, THE
astronomy school.  I could have scared up the catalog easily; I thought
sure someone else would.  Anyway, I'll hit a library or two here in
San Diego.  In the meantime, I have a list of 35 nearby stars, compiled
by Peter Van de Kamp in 1945.  No RA and DEC, but I can get that else-
where.  It does have absolute and apparent magnitudes, spectral class-
ification, proper motion, distance and luminosity.

I know it is old, and I can understand that you'd want the latest data
to fend off nitpickers, and I think you wanted 100 of them.  But, if
it will help, I'll key it in, get the positions (epoch 1950.0; I'm not
sure I can scare up 2000.0 positions really fast), and ship it to you.

Reply to TERRY%LAJ.SAINET.MFENET@LLL-MFE.ARPA and give me your full
mail address (I think you were "@NOSC"; is that an ARPANET node?).
