ASTRON Ancestor Veneration Program
| Submitter: | Madroon, E.J. |
| Description: | People who have devoted their entire orbit to ASTRON tend to find it a bit difficult to let go. Fortunately, there is so much to do that many of them can occupy themselves quietly and lovingly, giving meaning to their life, and thus prolonging it indefinitely. The unspoken agreement is that they do not comment too loudly on the way things are done nowadays, and only go on (and on) about the Good Old Days among themselves. As a visual aid to ancestor worship, the picture shows the ones that "still have an office" (Mike's distinction), gathered in the socalled Dinosaur Room in Outhouse I. In order of ancienity:
Soon, they will be joined by the last stragglers of the current retirement tsunami. But the distinction of "having an office" will disappear, as all dinosaurs will have to compete for the limited number of "flex-plekken" in the new building. Undoubtedly, they will do so generously and with dignity. |
