Complete with cake and punch, Marinette Marine, UAF and the NSF signed (ceremonially) the contract for SIKULIAQ. It was a great event, coordinated by MMC and UAF. On site, Lori Nunemann (UAF) and Marc (pronounced "marse") Jamo did an outstanding job of putting the event together. There were a number of dignitaries, including Congressmen from Wisconsin and Michigan, the Mayor and Vice-Mayor of Seward, Mayors of Marinette, Menominee and a few other towns around here. The NSF contingent was sizeable, and there was also a representative from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. All-in-all, a fine time was had by all. The event made the paper on Saturday, and I heard a report about it on the radio several times over the weekend, and even Monday morning.
