I want to extend my apologies to the folks at Absolute Imaging. Their announcement below about Brendan Smith joining the company should have been in the May RECORDER. With all the spam these days, the announcement did not get to me. Thank you very much for your patience Elvis and for double checking with me! It is appreciated. So if you send me an announcement and you don’t see it the next month or so, please check in with me, it could be your email didn’t make it to me.

The next RECORDER will be in September. So enjoy your summer, I know that I will. We will have details on the next Junior Geophysicists Forum for you in the fall, so please stay tuned to the Grapevine.
