My retirement is not due to any dissatisfaction with my work in Space Geodesy or NASA but only to the facts that I have received a very good offer to work in the private sector and I have reached close to the maximum benefits that can be provided by the civil service retirement system. I would like to work several years on the ”outside” while I am still in good health and active. Therefore, I will be relinquishing my post as Director of the ILRS Central Bureau. Dr. Michael Pearlman will now take over this post and Ms. Carey Noll has agreed to become ILRS Central Bureau Secretary. You are certainly in good hands with both of them. Needless to say, I have cherished my nearly twenty years working with you and all my international colleagues on our grand quest in Space Geodesy and particularly in Satellite Laser Ranging. This experience has been the high point in my NASA career. I am specially proud of the way that the ILRS has become a strong and efficient operation. I wish all of my SLR colleagues only the best as you journey on into the future. john b John M.
