By

From Tina Gilliland


Dear Tim,

Thank you for helping make this another fantastic year for Indiana Science Olympiad!  Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to offer my most sincere thanks to you for serving as an event supervisor at the State Science Olympiad Tournament held on the IU Bloomington campus.  This tournament requires a large team of people that are dedicated to teaching, molding, and encouraging young science students to pursue careers in science. I am so very thankful that I have people like you to provide level appropriate and challenging competitions.  Having you involved makes my job so much easier, thank you!

I hope the time you expended on tournament day was fun and rewarding.  I have received many thank you notes from coaches and parents who have commented on the fun, challenging and fair events at the tournament and how smoothly things ran. You should be very proud for the part you played in providing such a rewarding experience to these young students!  I cannot stress enough how valuable your time and expertise are to me, the students, and all involved in the Science Olympiad State Tournament.

Coach & Parent Comments:
"Thank you for all you do for Science Olympiad – you go above and beyond to host the Indiana State Tournament.  Through your work you have touched thousands of middle and high school students and encouraged them in science.  It is always a thrill to see how excited they are on IU's campus Friday and Saturday they're running around having fun doing science!  Many of my former students over 15 years of Science Olympiad have gone on to science careers – some at IU!  Thank you!" 
Dru Wrasse, Coach, John Adams High School

"I just wanted to take a couple of minutes to drop you a note of congratulations on yet another super Science Olympiad State Tournament.  Our daughters compete for Raymond Park Middle School and were absolutely ecstatic that their team finished 6th place over all.  Ecstatic, but hungry for better next year.  We have been fortunate enough to have been at the state meet the past three years and are continually impressed with the job you and ALL of the volunteers do with hosting the event.  It is certainly something that we have looked forward to over the past few years"
Sincerely,  Joe & Lori Jones, Parents

Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Munster High School will be the teams representing Indiana at the National Tournament in Nebraska next month. Based on their performances at the state tournament I am confident that they will come home with many National medals!  Kudos to you and all our event supervisors for helping prepare Indiana students for Nationals!!

On behalf of Indiana University, College of Arts & Sciences, and the Science Outreach Office we applaud your commitment to science education and I hope I will have the pleasure of working with you again in the future. 

Congratulations again on making the 2015 tournament a huge success...we absolutely couldn't do it without you!

Warmest regards,
Tina

P.S.  Please pass along my thanks to your volunteers.  I don't have all their email addresses.

    Begin forwarded message: From: beck8@comcast.net Subject: British Imperial Airways 1930's Date: January 14, 2014 10:36:14 PM EST            British Imperial Airways 1930's Flying the airlines in the thirties was a lot more fun than it is now. It was more leisurely and had more class. Certain elitist and anti-British people have no time for these period "rich types". People like these, the risk takers (especially with their own money) were the backbone of the UK. They flew from the first airline operations across the Channel in 1919.   If people had serious money in the 1930s and traveled internationally, they may well have flown on one of these large (130 foot wingspan) Handley Page bi-plane aircraft, which were the mainstay of British Imperial Airways at the time. They carried 26 passengers in first class only, in three d

LSO's and landing T Sparks

A long winded discussions on the role the LSO plays in landing on the carrier. After 900+ they have saved my bacon more than once. All the best, Tim The Lords of Landing "Right for lineup...don't go low...a little power...." At sea, the last word belongs to... by Peter Garrison The A-6E Intruder bomber thunders past the USS Abraham Lincoln's starboard side and rolls into a nearly vertical left bank. Condensation flickers above its swept wings like white fire; its airspeed bleeds rapidly from 300 knots to 150 under the drag of the five-G turn. In the cockpit, the inflatable G-suit snaps tightly around Lieutenant Brian Kasperbauer's legs. His eyes dart from the dancing blur of black instruments to the horizon beyond. Parallel to the aircraft carrier, Kasperbauer rolls level. Check speed, dirty up with gear and flaps, double-check tailhook down. Twice he lifts himself slightly from his se
