VLA 20th Anniversary Celebration, 24 May 2000

The VLA was dedicated in October 1980, and a 20th anniversary celebration was held at the site on 24 May 2000. There were 400 guests, including attendees at the concurrent Gas and Galaxy Evolution Conference, scientists, retired and active employees, VLA site neighbors (ranchers), local dignitaries, and others who worked closely with the VLA. In this photo, the celebration's organizing committee members, although slightly windblown, look justifiably pleased with the results of their hard work. Left to right: Joan Wrobel, Jim Ulvestad, Dave Finley, Patty Lindsey, Pat Lewis, Terry Romero, Clint Janes, Skip Lagoyda, and Lew Serna. Phoo by Roy Norville.
