Patrolman George Gibson Retires

Night owls of NCAR, take note: the friendly face ofGeorge Gibson will no longer greet you from a patrol car onthe hill or the reception desk in the Mesa Lab lobby.George, NCAR's regular evening outside patroller, retiredon 31 May after 21 years here.

George has worked two jobs for 25 years. Until 1986,he worked during the day as a teacher or a librarian/mediaspecialist for the Denver public schools. "I first met NCARas an outside patrolman with Bonded Security in October1967," he told Staff Notes. His first job on the NCARpayroll, however, was as a filing clerk in the library. Hethen became a cataloger, working evenings and using hisexperience as the material for a master's thesis in library. science. (George also has a master's degree in educa-tional administration.)

A reorganization in 1972 left him with the choice ofworking days at the NCAR library or taking an evening jobin NCAR security. Being unwilling to give up school work,he took the latter option. "I've never regretted it," he said, $pointing to his interesting colleagues as one reason. Also, =""It's kind of relaxing after being in the classroom."

It might take an extra motive like that to make a long-time night security guard. George locks up around theMesa Lab and, in the course of the evening, makes therounds of all the NCAR locations except RL-3 and RL-6-the Mesa Building, 55A, the Marshall site, Sam's "Warehouse, and the Jefferson County Airport. The mostunimaginative of us can easily think of about 87 threat-ening situations that could turn up on such a route, butGeorge has never run into any of them. Instead, he finds"deer parkers" who must be encouraged to move on, ice onthe roads, and false alarms at the outlying sites.

A native of Alberta, Canada, George has beenthrough several major career and geographical changes inhis life. He was a fighter pilot for the British Royal AirForce during World War II, and then he spent a year as a

bush pilot in northern Canada for a highway project.Following that, he worked briefly as a licensed embalmer inFlorida. He entered the educational field with a job inMinnesota, and he came to Colorado in 1966 for a job withthe Denver school district.

Although he's retired, George will still be working inthe genealogical library of the Church of Latter-Day Saintsin Louisville. He also plans some traveling to visit familymembers. It will be a change from the route that he's beenfaithfully traveling for so many years. oCR

Mammogram Screening Offered

The Employee Assistance Program has arranged withApollo Medical Diagnostic Services to offer mammogramscreening to employees and spouses of employees. Thescreening will be done in a mobile unit at the Mesa Lab byspecially trained female technologists. Results will beinterpreted by board-certified radiologists and will bereported directly to the employee's physician of choice.The procedure takes about ten minutes. The cost of $70,due at the time of testing, is eligible for compensation fromNCAR's medical insurance carrier. The mobile unit will beat the Mesa Lab all day on 22 June.

Before the screening, two breast cancer educationseminars will be held. The dates are Tuesday, 14 June,from noon to 1:00 p.m. in the Main Seminar Room of theMesa Lab and Wednesday, 15 June, from noon to1:00 p.m. in RL-6 room W179. Please contact Nita Razo(ext. 8719) if you or your spouse would like to attend theseminar or be screened.

T-Shirts Available Next Week

The 1988 NCAR T-shirts will be sold again outside theMesa Lab cafeteria next week, 6-10 June. New pastelcolors have been ordered. Becky Campbell at RL-6 andJudy Fukuhara at 55A have T-shirts for sale; Kim Weaverat Jeffco will take orders.

NEW DATA BASE FOCUSES ON NCAR RESEARCH SUBJECTS

There's a new online data base that is very relevant to NCAR's research. Called Geobase, it offers

broad coverage of the fields of geography, geology and ecology. Here are some topics covered by Geobase:

geophysics, climatology, historical geography, hydrology, natural resources, regional studies and social

and urban geography.

It can be used not only for fundamental scientific research, but by those formulating policy onenvironmental issues or researching the development of third world countries. In short, Geobase represents

the diversity of interests at NCAR.

Incidentally, if your focus is on geography, with Geobase there's finally an online resource

emphasizing that discipline. But for the whole spectrum of NCAR's research pursuits, it is a data base

we're likely to be using.
