Our
extreme
thanks
and
gratitude
goes
to
Maggie
Rash
who,
collaborating
with
George
Blood,
worked
tirelessly
to
continue
the
annual
PMEL
Picnic
and
Reunion
traditions
so
many
active
and
retired,
in
and
out
of
state,
PMEL
technicians
have
enjoyed
over
the
years.
When
budgets
were
tight
and/or
locations
elsewhere
were
not
available,
Maggie
and
Tim
Rash
were
kind
enough
to
offer
their
home
as
the
location for many annual PMEL picnics over the years!
Our
thanks
and
appreciation
also
goes
out
to
Steve
Moore,
Mike
Cross,
George
Blood,
George
Smith,
Jim
Lillard,
Bob
Renner,
Frank
Bandy
and
others
who’ve
provided
photos
of
these various PMEL events.
We
wish
to
also
thank
Dave
Akers
who,
mostly
behind
the
scenes,
provided
many
door
prizes
and
gifts…from
the
annual
presentation
of
THE
Rolex
watch
to
Belgian
Chocolates…at each of our winter PMEL reunions!
And finally…we wish to thank Joyce Graham, the Metrology School
Secretary for many years, who kept us all in line and provided
help in many ways not otherwise recognized by official
organization charts! We all knew who REALLY ran the school!
