Yep...I go to Fermilab every day...I am a high school physics teacher on leave for a year with a fellowship at Fermilab. I am in the Experimental Astrophysics Group working on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

You know how middle aged men go to baseball fantasy camps where they get to live like baseball players for a week? Well, this is my version of a fantasy camp...the ultimate astrogeek fantasy camp [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I don't doubt your description a bit. In the early 80's (can't remember exact yr.) I worked on the controls for the power utilities out there. I got to look at the ring and some of the test cells a little closer than the average guy. Fantasy camp for me too.

I don't know if he's still there but my next door neighbor (from Lisle) worked at Fermi. Dr. Freeman (first name stubbornly refuses to come out of long term memory). If you get a chance to look for him, he'd stand out a little as he's the dead spitting image of the old folk singer Paul Simon. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]
