**************************************************************************


Shiftworker-- G. Ludlam
Present at Gran Sasso-- G. Ludlam
US Physicist-In-Charge-- G. Ludlam
King O' MACRO-- G. Ludlam
Soon To Be Married-- G. Ludlam
Tired Of Walking to Assergi in the Dark-- G. Ludlam

Absent-- Everyone (except G. Ludlam) to Torino.


Run Status:  Thanks to the heroic efforts of G. Ludlam (Physicist in
	Charge), the run went smoothly during the long and lonely days
	of the Collaboration Meeting.  These heroic efforts consisted
	primarily of not messing around with the run.  When he did,
	the results were less than pleasing.

...

	WFD stuff-- As reported before, the waveforms on MV1 are sick.
		There is hope, however, for the dreaded SIX MONTH RUN.
		VAST ARMIES of competent physicists should descend upon
		the Gran Sasso shortly after Physicist-In-Charge hangs up
		his hat to once again don the guise of Boston University
		Physics Department Resident Pro-Wrestling Expert.  One
		hopes that at least one of those fine physicists can
		make MACRO worthy of its 'M'.
		In other WFD news, ERP waveforms-- Are They Here, Or Not?
		Responding to requests from all over the globe, Monopole
		Men Erik K. and G. Ludlam (Future Physicist-In-Charge)
		installed the appropriate cables such that ERP triggers
		(in the absence of a TOHM trigger) will generate a WFD
		stop.  This will exist under the new equipment number 47.
		A question of timing consistency remains, but that should
		be resolved soon.

...

	Conclusionary stuff--  It appears that the detector is quite near
		to being operational for the six month run.  There are a
		few nagging problems (which I am sure the next Physicist-In-
		Charge will have no trouble solving), but the equipment and
		electronics are there, and most of it is working 
		beautifully!!!


	Personal stuff--  I was most delighted to be Physicist-In-Charge
		during the meeting.  I truly enjoyed bossing myself around.
		But I am happy to hand over the mantle of responsibility
		to the Doug-Meister.

		So congratulate me already!  I'm getting married in July
		to the lovely Cheryl Cabanting of Goose Creek, SC.


Quote of the Week:  Sorry.  No quote of the week.  There was no one to 
		talk to!!!


Hasta La Vista, Baby
Your devoted shiftworker,
	Gary Ludlam
