in Charge Glen Sampson and Observations Program Leader Mic Sherwood, both

from NWS Western Region Headquarters presented several length of service
awards during the ceremony. In addition, the Helmut

of service by the King Family, who have provided weather observations from
Anvil Ranch, about 60 miles southwest of Tucson. |

the ceremony, the honorees and their families were given a tour of the NWS
office. Science and Operations Officer Erik Pytlak demonstrated the capabilities
