David applied for a new job a while ago, and they just announced that he was got it! His new title is "Manager of the Experimental Mechanics/Non-destructive Evaluation and Model Validation Department." This is still at the National Labs where he's worked for the last 9 years.
He decided to make the move from technical staff to department manager for a variety of reasons, and it will be interesting to see how our lives change with the job change. We're all quite excited about it. I suspect he'll still work fewer hours than he did during the big 24/7 satellite testing pushes of the past few years.
The four of us were already planning to go out to dinner to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary tomorrow, so now we have two reasons to celebrate! Hmmm...the boys will be with us, so I wonder how nice a dinner we can get away with?
Congratulations, Dave. All the best. We are very proud of your work and family. Dad
