who chairs the Fench and Italian department from which they were
divorced. To calm me, I had lunch with Betty Leydon
who squinted a little less
and talked to me about IT, something I knew before I moved into the
new job. Later that day, I visited with Scott Tremaine
who chairs the astrophysical sciences department.
At this point -- Wednesday afternoon -- it was time to move on to
bigger things, so I headed to the machine shop. This
design of a camera that records its info on a Mac
was being touted by this gentleman whose name escapes me
except that he insists that he and Michele are good friends and
we've met before. I was really there to see Glenn Northey
who was going to make great strides on the penny project. As we had done
at ChefRob's, we recorded the details of his shop including the CNC machine
the drill press
the bits
the lathe
and the student machines in the lab
and the larger lathe
stopping on the way back to watch him use the micrometer
to get numbers for his ProEngineer design of one groove
and then 10
for a module.
On the way back to reality, we ran into Ben Kaplan
and Carol Mason
who seemed more grounded.
