Pluto Walk, Lowell Observatory
Flagstaff, Arizona

Click on photo for a magnified view

This photo was taken September 1990 in Flagstaff, Arizona during a chance meeting between Doug Hollis and myself with Clyde Tombaugh and his wife Patricia. They happened to be visiting the observatory, from which he discovered the ninth planet Pluto, to make their first walk together down the newly constructed Pluto Walk. The photo was shared with Clyde Tombaugh and received his signature in May 1992.

Here's hoping that his final stroll to Pluto aboard New Horizons is successful.
