Andy Sessler's 75th Birthday
Celebration
LBNL, March 15, 2003
*** Announcement ***
An event to celebrate Andy Sessler's many scientific achievements and humanitarian contributions, and his 75th birthday, will take place on March 15, 2003 at LBNL. In addition, in order to pay a more lasting homage to Andy's contributions, the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division will establish a new, ongoing, division-wide postdoctoral fellowship in Andy's honor.
The event will consist of an afternoon symposium and a dinner. The symposium, which will be free and open to anybody who wishes to attend, will take place in the Bldg. 66 auditorium, starting at 1 PM (not in the bldg. 50 auditorium, as initially announced). The dinner, to be preceded by a cocktail hour, will cost $45/person and will take place in the cafeteria. The cocktail will start at 6 PM, with the dinner immediately following. A string quartet will play classical music selections during the cocktail hour. The price covers the cocktail and the dinner with wine or other beverages.
If you are interested in attending the dinner, please send an e-mail message to Tom Gallant (address below) ASAP indicating how many people will accompany you, and a check for the appropriate amount payable to Martha Condon (CBP, LBNL, mail stop 71R0259, 1 Cyclotron Rd., Berkeley, CA 94720-8211) by February 21.
