SLAC
Celebrates 40 years of Discovery
Officials, Nobel
Laureates Honor Staff Achievements
 By Neil Calder
All members of the SLAC Community are warmly invited to
participate in two great
celebrations. Please make sure you do not miss
Family Day 2002 on September 14 and our 40th Anniversary Open House
Celebration on October 2.
Commemorating the 40th
anniversary has been a theme evident in many laboratory events such as the
10-, 20-, 30- and now 40-Year Service Awards.
"I am privileged to have seen all of SLAC’s 40 years,"
said Sid Drell, Chairman of the 40th Open House
Organizing Committee. "It has been a wonderful period of scientific and
human achievement. I hope all of you will share in the anniversary
events."
Anniversary Open House
A huge tent on The Green will set the stage for a unique
day at SLAC on Wednesday, October 2. Please join our guests from all over
the world at the Open House Celebration. This will be an opportunity for
the SLAC Community to come together and take stock of what we have
achieved over the last 40 years.
Festivities commence at 1:00 p.m. with multimedia
presentations highlighting past and present laboratory activities. The
talks will be affectionate reviews of the history of our laboratory,
highlighting the contributions of all staff.
 We have invited many founding members of Project M (for
Monster, SLAC’s original name), both retired and still working at SLAC,
who helped get us started. The response has been remarkable. Many of these
pioneers will attend the festivities on Wednesday afternoon.
SLAC Director Jonathan Dorfan joins several speakers,
including DOE Office of Science Director Raymond Orbach, Pief Panofsky and
Burton Richter to recall some great moments in
SLAC’s past and look toward our future. We want to thank you—SLAC’s superb
staff members so essential to our success. The afternoon will finish with
a reception on The Green at 4:30 p.m.
You are Invited
Please RSVP for the afternoon’s activities so that we can
prepare your badge and souvenir kit. The kit will include a commemorative
photo book richly documenting the first 40 years of SLAC.
You can RSVP on a special Web page: at
