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.
