Jerry Marty keeping an eye on things
As more SIP panels get installed (what are SIP panels?), Jerry Marty is keeping his eyes on things (TS).
the Cheese Palace
And here's where Jerry Marty hung his hardhat when he wasn't outside--the Cheese Palace, created from 2/3 of what we once knew as Mickey's Folly (the other third became part of the summer camp gym). This was the office for him and the design team, although it wouldn't get its signature crowning touch for a couple more years (KJ).
A1 steel erection
Here's some of the steel erection on A1 (JM).

Here goes one of the last SIP panel pieces on the back corner of A1 (SH).

Photo credits for these two pages: Carlton Walker (CW), Jerry Marty (JM), Katy Jensen (KJ), Dana Hrubes (DH), Paulene Roberts (PR), Chris Groppi (CG), Scott Smith (SS), Martin Lewis (ML), Tracy Sheeley (TS), Stephen Hudson (SH), and John Rand (JR). Some of the photos appeared on this NOAA ESRL page about the elevated station. And I also had some help from Steven McLachlan, Scott Smith, and Neil Conant.

The new power plant was also being completed during the 2000-01 summer...

...and here are some winter 2001 photos of the new station interior.
