NASA History Listserv Readers: 

 

Longtime NASA Ames Research Center employee, Jack Boyd, is retiring on August 19, 2020. In recognition of his more than 73 years of service to NACA/NASA, Ames is giving him a special farewell. Over his years at Ames, Jack has been both a strong supporter and contributor of that center’s history. See details bellow from Dr. Jerry Yan at Ames on how you can send messages of congratulations to Jack as he completes his truly remarkable career. 

 

Best, 

Brian

Jack Boyd is Retiring! Wish him well.

Good afternoon.

I hope you and your family are doing well during these extraordinary times!

Well, believe it or not, Jack Boyd is "really" retiring on August 19, 2020 -- on his 95th Birthday.  Because of the COVID situation, we will have to defer gathering in-person to celebrate Jack's more than 73 years of service at NASA.  We are hoping to present to Jack with a collage of well wishes from people with whom he worked over 73 years at NACA/NASA in various capacities.  These well wishes can be:

• A plain-text e-mail OR
• A (30-seconds or less) video-clip: Make sure you record in landscape orientation!!

We invite you to participate!  Please send your submission to scott.m.yim@nasa.gov BEFORE Friday, August 7.

If you know of others who may be interested in participating, please forward this invitation to them.

Please contact me if I can be of help in any way.

Have a wonderful day!

p.s. Here is my plan:

• Whatever you send me, I will eventually forward it to the Boyd family (provided the content is appropriate).
• To keep the collage presented to Jack on 8/19 at a reasonable length,
• I may only include an excerpt of your message.
• I will likely not be able to include every video message I receive in the collage.

 

Be safe, stay strong, and carry on.
