Oct. 18th, 2002 01:32 am Dear Dr. Glass,
It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been elected to the grade of Associate Fellow in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). AIAA Associate Fellows are individuals of distinction who have made notable and valuable contributions to the arts, sciences, or technology of aeronautics or astronautics.
I'm a bit surprised... this was the first year I had been put up for Associate Fellow, and I really wasn't expecting it to go through the first time (especially with relatively few publications in the last couple of years). Now I'll get a pin, certificate, and a free dinner and admission on 6 Jan 2003 at the AIAA meeting in Reno. And a chance to volunteer on standards committees and editorial boards in order to be considered for Fellow-ship someday. (grin)
Otherwise... after an early (7:30am) telecon with Northrop was punctuated by a fire drill on their end, I drove to SF and picked up![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clairaide. A missed email meant that I didn't pick up a given origami book from brooksmoses for Rose, so she and I drove around to a couple of bookstores before going to the airport. Before she went through security, she gave me a tiny yellow origami rose (adoring look). It now sits on top of the giant 20Ma BP shatter cone on my desk at NASA.
After scrounging and pleading, I located $10K for equipment purchases and ordered a new Powerbook G4 Titanium forhopeforyou's lab. As well as dropping off my cellphone order, and tweaking the Northrop guys over open-architecture compatibility.
