Observatory Chair 2010 – 2016

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.
Psalm 19:1

In his retirement years, Gene Ramsey pursued his passion for astronomy, serving as a diligent caretaker of this observatory and mentor to members of the Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton who continue to use this facility for our own observing projects and for educating the public. Gene’s special joy was explaining the wonders of the universe to children. His knowledge of sky lore and enthusiasm for public outreach inspire the club’s “keyholders” and the observatory’s many visitors to share Gene’s sense of the transcendence of the human experience.
