LAWIS lunchtime Talk and get-together
11:30 am - 1:30 pm, Otowi cafeteria side room A, LANL

Talk at 12:00:
Dorothy Hoard, Retired
"The Old Fashioned Way"

ABSTRACT

"I presume most people have heard of me through my books on the outdoor areas around Los Alamos. For this presentation for the Los Alamos Women in Science, I would like to look back briefly on my life leading up to employment at LANL as a technician in analytical chemistry, during which time I wrote the books. Then I would like to share some adventures resulting from a petroglyph survey my friend, Betty Litlienthal, and I conducted in Los Alamos County."

"I retired from the lab in 1997 at the age of 65. After a lifetime of wondering "What shall I be when I grow up," I can look back and see how a vocation in analytical chemistry integrated with a life-long avocational love of the outdoors. If there is a message in my talk, it will be that what you think of the events in your life are as (or more) important as the events themselves."

--> Nonmembers Welcome! <-- 

Sideroom A is reserved from 11:30 to 1:30 for people who like to eat earlier or later, and informal discussion. You are welcome to come for just the talk at noon, and questions are encouraged!
