Joining Worden at the Round Table will be Hans Mark, who served as Ames director from 1969 to 1977 and later served as Deputy Administrator of NASA and Secretary of the Air Force; Sy Syvertson, who was named Ames director in 1977; Dale Compton who was named Ames director in 1989 and Scott Hubbard, who served as Ames director from 2002 to 2006.
