The History of Chagrin Valley Astronomical Society

To commemorate CVAS's 25th anniversary in 1988, club co-founder Tony Mallama wrote a short history about the club. While most of this web site focuses on recent activities, Tony's story takes us back to the days of CVAS's founding in 1963 before the advent of home computing, large amateur telescopes, CCD cameras and the technology that is able to present this work to you.  Tony and club co-founder George Gliba were eager teenagers with a passion for astronomy and to spread that knowledge and enthusiasm throughout their community. 

The story is written in eight chapters, you can start the journey here.
