9 Arrivals Who’s new at IHMC and what they do

©2004 IHMC Hurricane Ivan made landfall on September 16th, leaving us with an unanticipated level of devastation throughout our community. More than two months out, the damage is still evident almost everywhere you look. At IHMC we are still waiting for the fi rst fl oor offi ces at our main facility as well as the entire administrative offi ce building to become operational. Several of our staff were also displaced by the storm, with some living in hotels, others with friends and fam- ily. Drive down almost any street in the city and you will see blue FEMA roofs on many homes and boarded up windows at many businesses.

Throughout these last months I have been impressed with the hard work and resilience of the IHMC staff and the Pensacola community. From the back breaking labor of pulling out carpets and moving furniture in the fi rst days to the cramped second fl oor offi ces where fi rst fl oor staff have been welcomed without complaint, our staff has shown their dedication to recovering and moving forward. In spite of our physical appearance, IHMC has continued to sponsor our guest lecture series, and these events continue to be well attended by the community.

One sign of the recovery of the city is the return of the Pelicans in Paradise and the display of new ones. Coordinated through the Pensacola News Journal, the pelicans are a community art project to raise funds for local literacy programs. So far 35 pelicans have been placed through- out downtown Pensacola. One of the newest arrivals is RoboPelican, sponsored by IHMC. Through generous gifts from staff and contributions from IHMC, we raised $5500 to spon- sor the pelican, which, after a period of public display, will come to roost permanently in the IHMC courtyard.
