    :"•'• ' GEOLOGISTS' ASSOCIATION '^" SOUTH WALES GROUP T H E GEOLOGICAL QUARTERLY v o L. 4 N o. 4 SUMMER 1969 THE GEOLOGISTS' ASSOCIATION: SOUTH WALES GROUP. The Group was formed in 1959 as a direct result of the interest shown by the teachers of geology from Welsh schools attending refresher courses at the University Colleges at Aberystwyth, Cardiff and Swansea. It is designed to further the study of geology/with particular reference to Wales, and to provide a link between the amateur, the student, the teacher and the professional geologist. At present all four groups are strongly represented in the membership of 160 or so. The members are drawn from a catchment area extending from Pembrokeshire to Gloucester. The Group's session coincides with the academic year. Ordinary Meetings are held monthly from September to March, the Annual General Meeting in March or April, and up to six Field Meetings — including one week-end excursion — between April and September. The Ordinary Meetings take placealternately at Cardiff and Swansea in the Geology Departments of the University Colleges. They are held at 11.00 a.m. on Saturday — usually the third of the month. The annual subscription is £1 (which includes the cost of The Welsh Geological Quarterly). Student membership is 2 shillings.

    NASA JOHNSON SPACE CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT EDITED ORAL HISTORY TRANSCRIPT DONALD BOGARD AND GARY W. MCCOLLUM JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON, TEXAS – JUNE 18, 2012 The following is the transcript from a NASA Alumni League seminar. The subject of this discussion was the history of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory planning and implementation before and during the Apollo Program. NORMAN H. CHAFFEE: Our first speaker today is going to be Gary McCollum. Gary was a JSC employee from 1966 to 2004. He started his career with the Air Force at Eglin Air Force Base [Florida] in ’63 as a project scientist. He worked in the Medical Research and Ops [Operations] Directorate as a quarantine officer for quarantine missions and managed the Medical Surveillance Office for the Apollo and Skylab missions. He developed early Shuttle life sciences experiments. He also worked in the Shuttle Program Office and at NASA Headquarters [Washington, DC] to integrate Spacelab and other payloads, and on return to JSC worked on payload integration with international partners. He has got his BS, MS in biology from Texas A&M – Commerce. He’ll be followed by Dr. Don Bogard, who was a JSC employee from 1968 to 2010. He’s got a PhD in nuclear chemistry from the University of Arkansas [Fayetteville], and did a postdoc [post-doctoral] in planetary sciences at Caltech [California Institute of Technology, Pasadena]. He collaborated with several other young NASA scientists and several outside scientists to design and build the science labs in the Lunar Receiving Lab and to conduct preliminary science testing of the returned lunar materials.

Two weeks ago our Bloemfontein Branch hosted our 74th Congress which was excellent for a number of reasons. The organisation by our Bloemfontein colleagues was superb, they planned and executed an event very worthy indeed of SAAFA, my sincere congratulations and gratitude to Chairman Gavin Lavis and his wonderful team, they did us proud. It was further excellent to enjoy our SAAFA spirit as it was no doubt intended to be; fun, laughter and much enjoyment had by all. In other words, we all ‘kuiered’ in wonderful fashion! Our business was conducted in the same vein, sessions were effective and efficient, but with that special SAAFA spirit ever present which made them both productive and fun. My congratulations to all our fellow members who were recognised for exceptional service to SAAFA, those who have gone above and beyond the norm and were recipients in the awards ceremony, we are very proud of you! It is my wish that SAAFA will in the year ahead remain an Association that provides Assistance where required, is active in Remembering those who did not return, is able to Support our SAAF as and when required and that we carry out these our SAAFA objectives while engaging in meaningful Camaraderie; enjoying one another’s company, which is the platform on which all else is based.

  • MQF – LRD's Airstream
    MQF – LRD’s Airstream The Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF), a highly modified Airstream travel trailer, was the recovery quarantine home for returning lunar-landing crews on Apollos 11, 12, and 14. In 1963, a special subcommittee of the Space Science Board of the National Academy of Sciences recommended that NASA establish a quarantine program 1. An Interagency Committee on Back Contamination (ICBC) was established in 1966 and included the federal agencies responsible for protecting public health, agriculture, and other living and natural resources (National Academy of Sciences and representatives from the U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Department of Interior). By late August 1966 it had been agreed jointly with NASA that a "mobile quarantine facility" would be used to transport the astronaut crews from the prime recovery ship in the Pacific Ocean to the Lunar Receiving Lab (LRL) in Houston following an Apollo lunar-landing mission 2. (The Apollo Back-Contamination Program flow from Reference 1 is shown in Photo #1.) The recovery phase of lunar quarantine began as soon as the Command Module had been located and the flotation collar installed by swimmers, and the MQF was an integral part of the recovery phase. General requirements of the recovery quarantine operation were as follows 1: 1. Crew Safety. To provide a safe method for the retrieval and return of crew and spacecraft. 2. Biological Isolation. To provide isolation during the recovery operation and during the movement of the crew and equipment from the recovery area to the LRL. 3. Sustenance Provisioning.
