Hi, Gabi! Good to hear from you again. Nice to know that you're staying in touch.
For the rest of you, Gabi was part of the same LANL group that I worked in for about 15 years. It was the group formerly known as "Basic and Applied Simulation Science", but it disintegrated during the turmoil of 2004 - 2005. In fact we have at least one other refugee from that group who hangs out on this list. I won't name names... --Doug On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 3:28 PM, Gabriel Istrate <[email protected]>wrote: > Dear all, > > I've been lurking on FRIAM for slightly more than two years now (for > me FRIAM brings home a little piece of Santa Fe, though I can't quite > cope with the mail volume :)). > > I am Gabriel Istrate, a former LANL employee, at some point sitting in > the office right next to Doug Roberts (hi Doug !).
