I am pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Suzanne Hawley
from the University of Washington as the next Director of the
ARC 3.5-m telescope. Suzanne will be closely working with 
Ed Turner for the remainder of 2004. It is anticipated that
her official appointment will become effective January 1, 2005.
Ed will stay on as Director until that time, completing his
third 3-year term.

Ed Turner's many contributions to ARC and the 3.5-m telescope
were acknowledged during the dinner celebration at APO in
last week's 10th anniversary of the 3.5-m dedication. It was
a pleasure to see many of you there, including those who contributed
so much in the early years to turn the vision of a consortium
operated, modern telescope into reality. 

Suzanne is very enthusiastic about working closely with Jon Holtzman,
the instrument scientist, and the APO staff and user community
to further improve our facility and help planning for the next
decade. Please welcome her aboard.

Rene Walterbos
Chair, ARC Board
