<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Sunday we had a capacity crowd, as predicted, for Lynn Sykes excellent talk based on the

100th Anniversary of the San Francisco Earthquake. It was followed by a well-attended dinner with

members of Friends of Lamont-Doherty (FOLD), Torrey Cliff Society for planned giving, and

members of our Advisory Board and Alumni Association Board. It was a wonderful gathering of friends

and supporters of LDEO.

The final talk of the Spring series (the Alumni-Public Lecture) will be given May 21 by Lamont alumnus

John Mutter: The Katrina Disaster: A Poor World Tragedy in a Rich Country. All Lamont alumni,

academic and staff, are invited to an informal alumni gathering in Monell Lower Lobby at 2:00, followed

by the lecture at 3:00 and reception at 4:00. Pass the word.

I am in the UK right now - combination of a family wedding and some work (but not too much!). The

sun is shining in North Wales - a sufficiently rare event that everyone I pass in the street comments

upon it! Staying in a hotel the foundations of which were first laid in 1285 is an interesting experience.

I will be back in the office a week today.

Hope all is well,

Have a good weekend,



- Mike
