Susan Cooper, Director of Public Affairs, Development, and the Library exceeded her title by a good measure in her role as confidant and friend to many, in particular Jim Watson. Her decision to accept the position of Director for Institutional Advancement at the Trudeau Institute came as a great surprise, although it is not difficult to see why Trudeau would have courted her. Susan worked double-time, with unparalleled dedication and true devotion. She arrived here in 1972 as head librarian in the Laboratory's Carnegie Library, and she grew up with the institution, later adding the roles of Director of Public Affairs and then Director of Development. Susan orchestrated and carried out the Lab's spectacular centennial celebration nearly a decade ago, as well as planning ceremonies and booklets for the Lab's many building dedications over the years. She had a remarkable rapport with our friends, neighbors, and supporters, and she helped foster the careers of many of our scientists. Susan's vitality and enthusiasm made the Laboratory an enjoyable and interesting place to work. That she has "left home" to make her mark elsewhere is saddening to many of us, but we wish her and her husband Bob the best and much success.
