It's probably of little interest to anyone but me but I can't let this
anniversary pass without mention.

50 years ago today I started work in the Met Office at Prestwick Airport.
I've
been working full-time in meteorology ever since and I've got no thoughts of
retiring yet. For the first 35 years I was an employee:

Today, I have an incredible array of "tools" available to look at both the
real-time weather and the historical weather. The subject has just as much
fascination for me today as it had 50 years ago. I look forward to many more
years of work and hobby!

Hi, Norman,
Congratulations and good luck. I can't believe it's almost 20 years since
you spoke to us in Durham! (April 1993)
Best wishes,
Ken


Hi Ken,

Not to detract from Norman's longevity and achievement.

I think it is 8 years since I spoke in Durham going by the age of my
daughter, wife was expecting at the time!

I probably should have not reminded you! It is OK done a number of
RoyMetSoc talks in the interim.

Cheers, Andy
