NEWS ABOUT THE 50th      Corporate Archivist Myra O'Canna is a member of the 50th Anniversary Committee and its team leader for the birthday celebration to be held on November 1, 1999. Most appropriately, the celebration will be located in front of Building 800, which opened in 1949. Sandians will enjoy a ceremony consisting of patriotic music, speeches by local and national dignitaries, placement of a time capsule, and a (it is anticipated, large) birthday cake.      We have been soliciting items for the time capsule, which will represent all vice presidencies and give a snapshot of Sandia's work in 1999. Included are artifacts and information on current technologies and processes, information on Sandia's 50th Anniversary events, a letter of greeting from Paul Robinson to the Sandia president in 2024, a sample of current methods of communication (e.g., disk, videotape, and cd rom), Lab News photographs, news releases, Sandia center home pages, and predictions of what Sandia will be like in the year 2024 when the capsule is opened.      Please submit your predictions and/or artifacts to Myra O'Canna at MS 0612. Items included in the capsule will be packaged carefully to ensure the archival materials' safe arrival in 2024.      Watch for more information in the Lab News and Daily News on the upcoming 50th Anniversary events, Sandia Day on Saturday, September 25, and the November 1 celebration.
