In "Bittersweet Moment,"
Bob Jones Leaves Lab | ||
| ||
|
After 32 years at Fermilab, Particle Physics Division's Robert Jones will
retire today, May 13. "It's a bittersweet moment," said Jones. "I'm looking
forward to retirement, but don't want to leave either." Jones started his
Fermilab career in the Village, when Wilson Hall was still under
construction. He recalled working on "thousands" of projects, and always
tried to keep smiling. Jones will greatly miss the people at Fermilab. "I've
made a lot of friends here, and it's a friendly environment," he said.
"Fermilab has been very good to me and I hope that I have been good to
Fermilab. It has been a quick 32 years." Jones has been married for 40 years. With a hearty laugh the Elburn, Illinois native describes his wife "as a keeper." They have three boys, with three granddaughters and one grandson, all of whom live nearby.
Jones, an accomplished carpenter, will spend his retirement doing home
projects. He will also spend time at his cabin in Wisconsin. |

Lloyd Klein Will Remember
Good People, Good Times | ||
| ||
|
Particle Physics Division's Lloyd Klein will retire today, May 13, after
working at Fermilab for 32 years. Klein originally started at Fermilab in
1970 but left after three years to get a degree in electronics engineering.
He returned to the lab in 1976 as an electrical operations specialist at the
Internal Target. He then moved to Accelerator Controls, installing and
maintaining computer consoles throughout the site, and performing
accelerator control system backups. At DZero, he installed and maintained
network communications systems and assisted with user teleconferencing. "My
best work was at DZero," said Klein. "It was an exciting time. Networks were
getting faster and we were transitioning to a fiber-optic backbone
supporting PCs instead of DEC/SUN workstations."
Klein said he will especially miss two things: "The interesting
personalities and the good parties. In the early days, everyone worked until
they dropped. When we made a discovery, we had to celebrate." The first
thing Klein will do in his retirement is take his two children, Amanda and
Jared, on a road trip to the American Southwest. When he is not golfing,
cycling, or playing tennis, the Fox Valley native will work for a computer
support company and volunteer at a Christian ministry.

From American Institute of Physics, May 11, 2005 House Members Press for Higher DOE Science Funding "We encourage you to significantly increase fiscal year 2006 funding for the DOE Office of Science above the level appropriated in fiscal year 2005" wrote 121 Members of the House of Representatives in a letter just sent to two key appropriators. The letter is very timely, as the House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee is scheduled to act on its version of the FY 2006 funding bill tomorrow, May 12. There are more than six pages of signatures on this letter to David Hobson (R-OH) and Peter Visclosky (D-IN), the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the subcommittee. The letter was authored by Rep. Judy Biggert (R-IL), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA). As was true for similar House and Senate letters in the support of higher funding levels for the DOE Office of Science and the National Science Foundation, this newest letter is signed by Democrats and Republicans across the political spectrum. read more

What's Up with the ILC? Takasaki selected as regional GDE director | ||
| ||
On Tuesday, Fumihiko Takasaki, KEK, was appointed as the regional
director of the ILC Global Design Effort for Asia. The announcement
was made by Barry Barish, the director of the ILC GDE team. Takasaki
The International Linear Collider Steering Group (ILCSC) accepted Takasaki's appointment at a meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, on May 10. The appointments of the regional directors for Europe and North America will be next. Takasaki, a high-energy physicist, is the head of the KEK Linear Collider office. He was a spokesperson of the Belle collaboration at KEK, and he has extensive ties to the United States.
"He's been coordinating the U.S.-Japan collaboration
[in high-energy physics]," said Tor Raubenheimer, head
of the Linear Collider Department at SLAC, referring
to the bilateral science and technology program that
has benefited science projects such as CDF and Glast.
"He is a very impressive person."

its working groups, visit the ILC-Asia homepage.
