With the passing of our friend and fellow member, Bernie Kosher, his wife, Donna, was kind enough to ask that donations be sent to BMAA in his name. We have decided to begin a Scholarship Fund in his name with these and future donations.

Bernie had a life long love for Astronomy.  He was an accomplished observer of the heavens and the wonders that they held.  Bernie was an avid reader on the subject and there was little that he did not retain in his amazing mind.   The high point of many a meeting was a short lecture on some scientific aspect of our hobby that always included a pop quiz that more often than not stumped all of us.  He was an accomplished lens, mirror and telescope maker who loved to share his skill and knowledge with young and old alike.

Bernie was a teacher who left some small part of his amazing knowledge with all of us.  It is for this reason we will award a scholarship in his name to a deserving student pursuing a Science, Mathematics or Astronomy degree at a local College or University.

In 2023, Lily Johannan, from Central Bucks South HS and Owen Ulrich, from Council Rock South HS were recipients of  the Bernie Kosher award.  BMAA and the Kosher family congratulate Lily and Owen and wish them well in their  future studies.

If you wish make a tax deductible contribution to this fund, make a check payable to BMAA and send to:
