Grand Canyon star Party

And I can remember very thrifty relatives who would make up codes and then call person to person with the code word -- for example, my uncle would take the bus from LA to Fresno and then call us, person to person, for Lassie Gray (Greyhound!) to tell us to come pick him up.

This has nothing to do with star parties, except (ha!) the skies were a lot darker back then in California's central valley.
