The dedication ceremony for our new research vessel Marcus
G.
Langseth was a very successful event, last Monday in sunny
78 degrees
Galveston, Texas. We practiced twice (before the real thing)
breaking champagne bottles, so when the time came, Lillian
Langseth's
strong arm assured a totally successful traditional smashing
of the
bottle against the hull.
It was heartening to see so many of Marcus' family there -
especially
a young 8 year old Marcus Langeth who was especially pleased
to see
his name on such a big ship.
Over sixty folks attended - including friends from the oil
patch in
Houston and the leadership of UTIG. Manik Talwani spoke, as
did Dolly
Dieter from NSF and Lamont alumnus John Peterlin - now Port
Captain
in Galveston.
John Diebold will be taking her to sea in a few days on the
first leg
of her shakedown operations.
For those thinking ahead to the San Francisco AGU - the Lamont
party
is on Tuesday evening, December 11th - same place - the Crowne
Plaza
- at 630pm.
But before then will be the even bigger party to celebrate
the ribbon
cutting on the Comer Geochemistry building a week on Friday
-
November 30th.
And even before that, there is Thanksgiving next week - if
you are
traveling, be safe, and have a very happy time. It is my fervent
hope
that this holiday will result in a reduction in the number
of turkeys
around my office...
Have a good weekend,
- Mike
