14 May 2004ALMA Workshop UMD Margaret Meixner (STScI) Summary Stars and dying stars are excellent first light objects and should be on the list of first targets for ALMA 2008 Target of opportunities should be pursued with ALMA and synoptic observations of fields considered ALMA will provide a deeper look into our nearest neighboring stars and extend our study of evolved stellar populations to the local group
