"Gentlemen",
Are you hinting you would like to be considered for the Harvey Award at some
point?

Sour grapes,
Tracy Latimer

> Well, imagine our surprise when we read the thread below. I had a
>personal conversation with the Dean of the TCU geology department in which
>he informed me that among other things, Dr. Ehlmann was "barely a geologist
>and not a very good one at that". He also called him, "an old man just
>waiting to retire," just a menial curator of a meteorite collection doing
>no real research". He said more but I don't necessarily agree with
>everything he Dean said. But it matters not much since in my view this
>award has very little meaning attached to it because of the group handing
>it out. Was there some sort of election or nomination procedure involved or
>posted somewhere? How does this little favoritism scheme and showering of
>affection work for a group who even his colleague has bad mouthed him this
>way. Did you include the Dean's viewpoint ? Or did you gather together
>willy nilly to keep misconduct and racism a fertile nesting ground in
>planetary science?

>Cordially,
