All eyes looked skyward

There are often more than one way to approach the day to day tasks of any profession and Russell and Ludwigs methods were as different as night and day. Night was for Russell the essence of what he did, for without proper darkness and cooperating weather, human longing laid in the bottom of the boat like a caught fish dreaming of swimming in his home ocean again. Ludwig disagreed for he believed that a proper attitude, appropriate respect and reverence and expectation was critical to a successful session.
Ludwig and Russell traveled about our Country and their profession was to bring awe and amazement to the citizenry at night. They called forth the meteors at public events, celebrations and festivals. Success in their work was partially a matter of luck and neither planning or praying could change that.
