Smilies Legend
[i]Roger and I sat side by side for 56 hours a week reading Space Surveillance records. The object was to determine what was an airplane, what was lightening strikes and what was a satellite observation. Later, when satellite observations, were more readily determined, my job along with another person was to calculate the orbit of the satellite. I knew Mr. Lynch, my immediate Supervisor and this guy named Roger, whom I worked with. Eventually I realized that he was the Branch Head. The relationship was always the same between Roger and me. Years later I was called into Roger’s office at about 8:10 AM and the Technical Director of the Lab was there with Roger after they were back from a breakfast in the NRL cafeteria. Roger said that the Director had some questions that Roger couldn’t answer and asked me to explain to the Director about some of our projects. Of course I knew that couldn’t be true but I answered all the questions and Roger never said a word. About two weeks later I got my GS15. Roger was a true gentleman and a genuine genius.[/i]
