With autumn comes the annual migration of
seasonal staff to college classes and winter
jobs. Departing in September are Information
Center Assistants Ramona Clark and Kevin
Hepburn. Both have spent the summer making
the Information Center and Bookstore look great
and operate smoothly. Kevin's years of Eastern
Sierra experience have helped many visitors, and
Ramona's always cheerful approach to the front
counter made many a visitor's day a little
brighter. Heading back to teaching middle school science is Outdoor Experiences Coordinator Matt Moule. A former intern who can't quite get the Mono Basin out of his system, Matt has worked with the OE program for two years, helping LA youth explore the Mono Basin with excitement. Lead OE Coordinator Mike Klapp will also be wrapping up his seasonal responsibilities soon, but he plans to stay on for the winter, working half time on graphics and Web site projects while donating the rest of his time to the exploration of extending the visits made by LA youth groups to allow lengthy backpacking trips. |

A farewell goes out to super summer interns Anna Christensen, Jodi Jensen, Bill Lickiss, and Joe Cosgrove. After introducing hundreds of visitors to Mono Lake by foot and canoe, they're full-fledged lake advocates themselves. Thanks for a great summer; come back and visit soon. Happily intern Arya Degenhardt will be with us into the winter and we're eagerly putting her skills and good cheer to work.
Bookkeeping Assistant Michelle Mealy is also heading back to school. She'll be at Humboldt State after a summer (and more) of assisting us with the continual flow of financial paperwork. Thanks, Michelle, for helping us see the desktop again.
And summer Web site volunteer Erin Ryan has departed for law school back east where we know she'll be working too hard. Hopefully good luck will be with her and she will have at least a few moments to stop by the beach to look for Atlantic jacknife clams.
Switching roles is Canoe Program Coordinator Greg Reis who, at the end of the month, takes on an as-yet-unnamed job focusing on Web site development and information organization. We're excited to have him staying with us.
