All in the family

From left, Cheryl Richards, a distant cousin through the Overstreet-Sevier families, stands with Pixy Morgan, a past vice president with the Tennessee Genealogical Society, in front of the former headquarters in Brunswick, Tenn. Morgan is the author of “Six Generations of Overstreets and their Allied Families: Beginning 18th Century Virginia to 20th Century Middle Tennessee, Knox, Overton, Clay and Jackson Counties.” Morgan has also helped Judy Henry, a southern Louisiana native and retired teacher, with tracing her husband’s family history. A fellow genealogy aficionado, Henry said that Morgan has not only contributed significantly to her own research, but their online encounter has been “a real pleasure to get to know a bit about her personally, too, over the years, as well as, collaborate on our research.” She added that Morgan “makes a quality contribution to any endeavor she pursues.” (Photo provided)

Phase 1 begins

The Turbine Engine Dry Air Capability (TEDAC) Phase I ground breaking ceremony was held outside the Engine Test Facility Building C-Airside Wednesday, March 18. According to Hughes, the TEDAC project is the first of a four-phase effort to eliminate 45,000 gallons of trichloroethylene and 24,000 pounds of R12 refrigerant dependency by Arnold Engineering Development Center. The project consists of constructing a new desiccant wheel facility in the Aeropropulsion Systems Test Facility complex (built in the early 1980s) that will provide conditioned, dry air for turbine altitude testing. The current refrigeration system has suffered numerous leaks and spills that jeopardize reliable test operations.

Ask an astronaut

Dr. Kevin Ford, NASA space shuttle astronaut, answers questions posed by Lt. Col. Vanessa Bond, commander of Arnold Engineering Development Center's (AEDC) 716th Test Squadron, who knew him when she was a student at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School. From left, Capt. Jeff Hartberger, 649th Test Systems Squadron, Jeff Staines, AEDC's space and missiles test facility planning lead, Trey Zarecor, a sophomore at Auburn University, Ala., and Capt. Chuck McNiel, an aeropropulsion test technology lead at AEDC, wait for a chance to meet Dr. Ford. Besides emphasizing the need to continually advance one's formal education, Dr. Ford also said NASA would more seriously consider those candidates for the astronaut corps who have gained some operational experience and expertise, whether as a pilot or in some other technically-oriented capacity. He said those chosen for the astronaut corps among his group included one person who had served aboard Navy submarines, an oceanographer, a medical doctor and physicists. (Photo by Philip Lorenz III)
