Asteroid Texas
In 1997, FBAC club member, Bill Dillon, discovered asteroid 1997 PD2. In 2006 the spaceborne rock received a new name: Asteroid Texas. Good story on Fox 26 News here. Good promotion for the observatory, too.

I just did a quick Google search for "Asteroid Texas" and found quite little. I even added 1997 PD2, and .. this blog entry is the only result.
I'd have thought it'd be in the wikipedia or something. Where might I go for more info on the rock?
