JEANNE ADAMS

Jeanne Adams, formerly of the Scientific ComputingDivision, is now training users on CSU's newCYBER 205 supercomputer. (Photo by Robert Bumpas.)

"I remember the ground-breaking ceremonies forthe Mesa Laboratory and the basement of thebuilding before any of the interior walls had beencompleted," Jeanne Adams told Staff Notes. "I alsoremember planting pine trees on the mesa behind thebuilding. Like the trees, NCAR has grown duringthe intervening years, and I'm proud of the partI've played in that growth."

Jeanne, who joined NCAR as a scientific program-mer in 1960, has recently accepted a position ascomputer scientist with Colorado State University's(CSU) computing center. "CSU has just opened theInstitute for Advanced Computations [IAC]. Myappointment is actually with both the computingcenter and IAC," Jeanne explained. "The heart ofboth is a Control Data Corporation [CDC] CYBER 205supercomputer, which was delivered last month.

Since my job is to train users on the new system,I've been very busy learning it myself and prepar-ing a CYBER 205 tutorial for new users."

Designing documentation and courses for users ofnew computers is a skill that Jeanne practicedoften during her 20-year tenure at NCAR. "When Ijoined NCAR, we had no computers of our own,"Jeanne reminisced. "I helped bring up theCDC 3600, the CDC 6600, the CDC 7600, the CRAY-I,and the IBM 4341 computers." During these years,Jeanne had a number of responsibilities includingdeveloping program applications, managing thedevelopment of the software library, managingtelecommunications and the network, overseeing thedocumentation training for users, and mostrecently, managing the Scientific ComputingDivision's (SCD) User Services Section.

In many respects, Jeanne's new job is a con-tinuation of her NCAR work. "IAC is similar inconcept to NCAR," Jeanne said. "Its objectives arenot only to enhance the research and educationalcapabilities available at CSU, but to make thesealso available to the academic community at largeand to industry."

The extent of continuity between her new job atCSU and her old one at NCAR was brought home toJeanne earlier this month when she began teachingthe users course at CSU. "For many years I was incharge of SCD's summer fellowship program. It wasperhaps my most gratifying work, for it gave me theopportunity to meet and work with young people justbeginning their careers in atmospheric sciences.Imagine my delight in finding a former NCAR fellowin my first class on the 205!"

Although no longer an employee, Jeanne will be aregular visitor to the Mesa Laboratory. For thepast three years she has chaired the InternationalStandards Organization's Technical Subcommittee onProgramming Languages. "This is a United Nationsorganization set up to facilitate the internationalexchange of computer software and hardware by set-ting standards for all programming languages,"Jeanne explained. "Different countries are respon-sible for developing the standards for different

programming languages. The United States, forexample, sets the standards for FORTRAN. (I'vebeen the chairman of the American Technical Com-mittee on the FORTRAN standard for ten years.)

NCAR will be supplying me with limited support tocontinue this work. I'm particularly glad of thissince I will be able to keep in touch with all myfriends here." eSB

EDNA MANZANARES TO MANAGE CAFETERIA

Office Services recently announced the appoint-ment of Edna Manzanares as the new chef/manager ofthe NCAR Cafeteria. Edna served as the assistantchef/manager under Phyllis Davish for the pastthree years. When she first came to NCAR fouryears ago, Edna worked briefly as a cashier, butwas soon promoted to assistant cook under JoeMartinez. This promotion also marked the beginningof a favorite NCAR institution--the Mexicanspecials. Edna has planned and cooked the Mexicandishes ever since, earning a reputation as aMexican chef par excellence, even though she is afull-blooded Ute Indian.

"In my years at NCAR I've learned a lot fromPhyllis and Rose," Edna said, "and before thatfrom cooking for a large family." One of her newplans for the NCAR cafeteria is the ethnic Thursdaydish (see this week's Cafeteria News). "I likeworking at NCAR--we all help each other in thecafeteria. I look forward to the same good workingrelationships in the future," she said. "I plan totry my best to keep everyone satisfied with thecafeteria food and service." *RG
