Hello all-

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination for the next Thompson

University of Colorado Boulder)
Alan Betts (Independent Atmospheric Researcher, Moist Convection & 
Hydrology)
Howard Bluestein (Research Professor, Synoptic/Mesoscale Meteorology,

The next step in the process of selecting the Thompson Lecturer is 
soliciting the comments and opinions of everyone on the nominees (Grad 
fellows this includes you too!).  We'd like as much feedback as possible 
on the nominees, especially if any of you have interacted with them in 
the past.  Please e-mail me any information you feel would be helpful in 
making this decision.  On Thursday, April 6th at 6 pm everyone is 
invited to a social at the Wilderness Pub where we'll gather for a drink 
or two and discuss the leading candidates for the next lecturer. 

I look forward to hearing your comments on the candidates and thank you 
again for your nominations!
