Linda and Peter Lord Own Bobcat Cottage at Meadow View Observatory. In 2005 Island Astronomy was re-organized as the 501(c)3 non-profit lsland Astronomy Institute based on the demand for public service and educational programs. Peter is now the Director of the Island Astronomy Institute The couple's long relationship with Mount Desert Island was consummated in 2003 when they sold their Silicon Valley home in California. After a cross-country odyssey to their Tremont cottage, they opened Island Astronomy LLC. That winter they completed their cottage/home then built guest cottage and observatory which is now in full operation.
The couple met at Stanford University where Linda worked as an accountant. What started off as sharing an apartment ended up with Island Astronomy. Linda runs the business and keeps Peter on target, while he swings the hammer and stargazes. A native New Englander, Peter is veteran aerospace systems engineer, with four patents for spacecraft antenna designs. Peter holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University.
