Margaret Hazen presented a talk about the Carnegie centennial for a session on “Archives and Anniversaries” at the fall meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference in Richmond, Va.

 

Robert B. Glynn of New York, a longtime friend of Carnegie, died on January 6, 2002. Since 1994, Glynn, chairman of the board of the Lampadia Foundation, has generously supported Carnegie astronomy and seismology in Chile through the Fundación Andes. Fundación Andes supports educational, scientific, and cultural projects in Chile. Glynn had a passion for the unique night sky and terrestrial structures of Chile, and greatly relished his visits to Carnegie’s Las Campanas Observatory. He will be missed by many in Chile and the U.S. Those whose lives he touched are indebted to him for generating so many creative collaborations and deep friendships that will live on for years to come.
