Description:
New photometry and radial velocities are reported for almost 500 stars
from the Lowell Proper Motion Catalog. These results are combined with
a prior sample and rederive stellar temperatures based on the
photometry, reddening, metallicities (using Chi^2 matching of
22,500 low S/N high resolution echelle spectra with a grid of
synthetic spectra), distances, space motions, and Galactic orbital
parameters for 1269 (kinematics) and 1261 (metallicity) of the 1464
stars in the complete survey. Four possible new members of the class
of field blue stragglers are noted.

Note (1): Preference is given to the Giclas designations from the
Lowell Proper Motion catalog since the author used their finding
charts. A few HD and BD names are used. RA and Dec: the positions were
taken directly from the observing catalogs used at the telescopes.
