<i>Sent on behalf of Jefferson Lab Director Hugh Montgomery: <br>
<br>
</i><br>
Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
Approaching nine months ago, Larry Cardman asked to step down from
his position as Associate Director for Experimental Nuclear Physics.
A search was initiated for a successor to Larry and also successors
to Dennis Skopik and to Kees de Jager, who have signaled their
imminent retirement. This search is in progress but has not been
completed. We have, therefore, decided to appoint Rolf Ent as Acting
Associate Director for Experimental Nuclear Physics. The formal
change will take place on Feb. 7. Both Larry and Dennis have, not
surprisingly, made clear their intent to work with Rolf to make the
transition a success.<br>
<br>
At this time, we would like to recognize the enormous contributions
made by Dennis and Larry, the latter for about 15 years, in shaping,
guiding and executing the physics course of the laboratory. We have
agreed with the Chair of the UGBOD to hold a celebration of these
achievements at the time of the Users Meeting in June 2011.<br>
<br>
Please join us in lending support and wishing luck to Rolf Ent as he
takes on this considerable challenge.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
<br>
Hugh Montgomery<br>
<br>
