DeLacy, astronomer/educator for more than 45 years in
Solano and Napa County area, has hosted star parties
for the general public and taught astronomy to students
of all ages. He retired from Mare Island Naval Shipyard
after teaching radiological control, nuclear physics,
and occupational safety and health programs for more
than 35 years. He received his Eagle Scouting rank in
1951 and has been a scoutmaster with troop 78 in American
Canyon and troop 64 in Vallejo, California. As a current
substitute in the Napa Valley and Fairfield-Susiun Unified
School districts he teaches all subjects and promotes
and interest in astronomy and space exploration. Mr.
DeLacy has his own professional observatory and telescope
with which he is engaged in searching for asteroids
and comets as a volunteer to assist the NASA Near Earth
Asteroid Tracking Team. He is the former owner of Celestial
Systems, The Astronomy and Science Center of Northern
California. Promoting an interest to enhance awareness
in astronomy and the space program is of major importance
to Mr. DeLacy. A former sign at the entrance to his

My door, for they are your children whose dreams and
knowledge will someday lead us to the stars."
