Farewell to Matt Johns (1Sep94)
(from Director's Office, NOAO Newsletter No. 39, 1 September 1994)

Matt Johns has left NOAO to tackle his next challenge. He had come from the
MDM Observatory to NOAO at the start of 1989 to assume the responsibilities
of WIYN Telescope Project Manager. During the course of the next five and a
half years, his conscientious management was key to bringing the telescope
structure, optics and buildings together on schedule and on budget. Matt's
thorough competence and unassuming manner inspired the well deserved
confidence of the WIYN Scientific Advisory Committee, the WIYN Board, and his
scientific and management colleagues in all the partner institutions. The
WIYN telescope is clearly well on its way to meeting its scientific
performance goals.

We are grateful to Matt for a job well done, and wish him every success in
his efforts with the Magellan Project. Matt can take just pride in his legacy
of the two best imaging telescopes on Kitt Peak.

Richard Green, Caty Pilachowski, Sidney Wolff
