Here's to Bob: A toast to the departing director |

A much-loved member of the Unidata staff is now memorialized in
the rock-garden area at the front of the FL complex. Glenn Davis
and two passengers died when his Mooney aircraft crashed in poor
weather near Cedar City, Utah, on 3 May 1999. A memorial service
for the software engineer was held two weeks later at the Mesa
Lab. "After the service, the Unidata staff wanted something more
permanent, so we decided to erect a stone in his memory," says Tom
Yoksas. Since Glenn loved to fly, the group originally looked at a
site just east of FL1, close to Boulder Municipal Airport, but the
spot of interest was outside UCAR grounds. "The small rock-garden
area near the visitor parking south of FL2 seemed like the second-
best bet," says Tom. Maintenance installed the stone there, and
Unidata staff held a small gathering on the first anniversary of
Glenn's death. See

created by Unidata in Glenn's memory.
