Next came Tom, and during his tenure the already successful Skywatch meme doubled in participants. Unfortunately health problems forced him to step it down a notch and so
he handed it over to Klaus.
Here's Tom's contribution.
After taking over in 2008 the idea of having a team looking out for the participants
and the Skywatch Meme was born.

When I started Sky Watch there were very few memes going on. I wanted to start something, but wanted something very simple that anyone could participate in - even the person with a basic camera
I thought on it for days and finally decided on the sky. I was hoping this would be a way for bloggers to interact and share through their pictures and comments. I couldn't think of what to name the meme so I asked a friend and she said "Sky Watch".
I asked her if she thought anyone would participate and she said she would but she didn't know about any one else. I visited and commented on every blog that participated in Sky Watch.
Since I had to go visit family in another state frequently and I asked Tom Wiggers if he 'd like to do Sky Watch while I was gone. He did and seemed to enjoy it so much that I felt bad about asking for it back. so I let him have it. I don't think I could have kept up with it on my own as the visitors were increasing each week. I'm glad that the Sky Watch Team has kept the meme going.
