There was a nice short interview with Fox morning news about our celebration of

200 years of American geodesy and charting.

Thank you Dave! We now have a face to go with the name. They did a good job with the clip. To bad they didn't let you show more of the other items in that display, they sure look intriguing.

Thanks DaveD.

I think I recognize a face.

 

The girls do too.

They are watching it too.

Well were watching it.....slowly.

"Treasures of NOAA's Ark"....cute. I've long admired NOAA's name, there normally not being a lot of humor in the federal government...

 

Anyway, the video with Dave can now be found here:

There are also a couple of other news segments about the 200th anniversary exhibit.

 

Anyone here (besides Dave ) been to the exhibit yet?

I got a chance to see the exhibit this week. If you're in the DC area it's well worth it — just a block from the Silver Spring Metro.

 

If not, NOAA has a fine 200th anniversary website. Details of the "Treasures of NOAA's Ark," including hours and directions, are online as part of the agency's role in the Preserve America initiative.

 

I'll have a bit more to say about the reason for my visit in a later post....

And here's another story about NOAA's 200th.

 

I wish I could have posted the full interview with Dave Doyle, who seemed to have as much fun talking about the old surveying artifacts as I had hearing about them.
