Because wihtout him, they would not have gotten the funding? Usually this is the case. If your in a money sucking operation rather than a money making operation, then you take what you can get. which is worse...No telescope and no research funds or some windbag's name on the building which almost nobody ever remembers and a bunch of astronomers get to do funded research. I know which one I would choose....

David...Re Name Game...Totally Agree.. I would much rather see these 'greats' named for the Boondoggles they stick us with..rather than naming a Wonder work for them...... Green Banks...Deer creek...ect Much more fitting a name T Green Bank is a small unincorporated community nestled in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. As part of the larger community of Pocahontas County, which lies on the mid-Eastern border between West Virginia and Virginia, Green Bank enjoys all the benefits of a stunning country landscape and quiet country life while only a few hours drive from major metropolitan centers. [Cass Railroad] History Pocahontas County derives its name from the legend of the American Indian woman with whom John Smith fell in love. Green Bank is named for the lush green banks of Deer Creek which runs along the foot of Little Mountain. Still one of the wildest landscapes in the east, this area's history is characterized by hardship and grit. The state's history is of rugged mountain men hunting and trapping for survival. In 1861, Green Bank was subject to two Civil War campaigns lead by Gen Robert E Lee, the Cheat Mountain campaign and the battle of Droop Mountain. The county experienced tremendous growth in the early 1900s during the logging industry boom that created the Cass Railroad.
