The TAAA was founded in 1954 as the Tucson Amateur Astronomers (TAA) by a small group of amateurs with the strong support of Dr. Edwin F Carpenter\, Director of Steward Observatory. \nLearn how TAA evolved into the current TAAA\, one of the largest and most active amateur clubs in the United States.  Ever since its founding\, the TAAA has had a close relationship with Steward Observatory and the University of Arizona.  In his talk\, Tim will highlight some important landmarks of the TAAA as well as the changes in amateur astronomy from 1954.  A special feature of the evening will be short presentations by several former TAAA Presidents. \n
