<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
I am attending to family duties by attending a wedding at
a gorgeous secluded lodge 60 miles south of San Francisco.
If it were not pouring with rain the views over the mountains
and out to the Pacific Ocean would be wonderful.
Anyway, it has been an important week for reasons more global
that family nuptials. Most importantly, we took another major
and successful step forward in our quest to build a new lab
building for our Geochemistry Division. We have received formal
approval to move forward with our planning and fundraising
efforts from President Bollinger - it is clear that we have
strong support at all levels of the University's leadership
to make this longstanding dream a reality….. exciting
times.
As I am sure many have noticed, I rarely report on our ship
operations in this weekly message - that is simply because
of the recent exaggerated public attention that has been directed
at us for one reason and another. But it is important to remember
that EWING is just a few days away from finishing her very
last research cruise - after which, following a brief port
stop in Florida, she will transit north to Narragansett Bay
Rhode Island, to lie alongside the R/V Marcus G. Langseth.
It will be a bittersweet moment, when EWING is decommissioned
- she has contributed so greatly to humankind's knowledge
of earth sciences.
I am flying back east on Sunday, after it stops raining,
I hope.
Have a good weekend,
– Mike
