We Survived the Los Alamos Fire

Dear Flowers,

The Flow Crew here at Los Alamos came through the fire relatively
unscathed, both personally and professionally.  However several of our
colleagues lost homes to the fire.  It is pretty sobering to see what
damage a wild fire can inflict!  The wild part is being completely at the
mercy of the winds.  The intensity of the fire in places was amazing - heat
to a level that melted guardrails along a road.

Several of us did not make it to the ISAC meeting for a variety of reasons
including being shut out of our labs since May 8th.  We are sorry that we
missed the science, camaraderie, and wine at Montpellier.  We will be at
San Diego in 2002!

Thanks to all that expressed concern for our situation.
