Thanks to Fred Gillett, Jay Gallagher, and ...(1Mar94)
Richard Green
(from USGPO, NOAO Newsletter No. 37, 1 March 1994)

I want to express my appreciation to Fred Gillett, Jay Gallagher, and
Richard Green, who have worked very hard on USGPO activities during the
past year.  Each has contributed substantially in ways that were
complementary and extremely useful to the efforts of the Gemini
Project, the US astronomical community, and the USGPO.  Jay Gallagher
initiated, developed, and organized a wonderful program to increase the
community's awareness of the project.  I certainly hope to continue and
to build on the colloquium and display material which he developed.
Richard Green assisted in the community interactions, and also took a
leading role in solidifying the relationship between Gemini activities
and NOAO.  His insight into the subtleties of policy issues provided a
sure path through the rocky politics of an international project.  Fred
Gillett, while having overall responsibility for all the activities of
the USGPO, made major contributions in technical areas.  His attention
to the scientific implications of technical decisions will ultimately
result in a dramatically better telescope for the US astronomical
community.
