Fermilab Playgroup Invites Parents and Children to Join
| ||
|
Twice a week the sounds of small children laughing and playing can be heard coming from the Users' Center. The children, along with their parents, are members of the Fermilab Playgroup. The group, which gives kids a chance to play and parents a chance to socialize, meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. in the Music Room. A big bin of toys is available at the Users' Center, and parents provide craft activities on a rotating basis. During the warmer months, the group takes advantage of good weather and meets outside.
The current group has been meeting regularly since the spring of 2003, and they are looking for more parents and children to join in the fun. Children from 6 months to 5 years of age and parents of all ages are welcome. For more information, contact Jennifer Jansson at (630) 879-0172 or jansson_jennifer@hotmail.com.

| Fermilab Lecture Series Presents Tonight The Physics of the Blues, Dr. J. Murray Gibson, Argonne |
|
Art and Science are intimately connected. Even if we are not conscious of it, physical principles underlie our appreciation of music. This lecture reviews the development of Western Music, up to the introduction of the Blues and Jazz. Dr. Gibson will use live musical examples to illustrate the physics behind musical scales and harmonic relationships, which are the palette with which musicians create. He will also reveal how the physics of music can give insights into other areas of science such as quantum
mechanics and the molecular basis of life. Don't miss this lecture that moves the physics lab to a blues club when Dr. J. Murray Gibson presents "The Physics of the Blues" on Friday, January 30, 2004 at 8 p.m. in Fermilab's Ramsey Auditorium. More information |
Farewell to Theo Gordon
Over the years, Gordon has given on-the-job training to the likes of Gene Fisk, Roger Dixon, and Jeff Appel. He joined the Accelerator Division about 20 years ago. He's worked on the switchyard, the Booster, the Main Ring, and the Tevatron. Greg Lawrence, Gordon's supervisor of 20 years, said the great thing about Gordon was that "he could do anything, vacuum work, brazing, etc." Lawrence also commented that Gordon's "specialty" is RF cavities.
Before Gordon's celebration lunch on Thursday, Lawrence said: "Over a
hundred people are coming to this lunch. That tells you something." Gordon
plans to remain in Aurora, and hopes to spend more time with his parents,
his three children, and his granddaughter.
