Fermilab fleece

I thought it might amuse you to know that I’ve spotted a Fermilab full-zippered fleece in the Concord Monitor.

Fermilab fleece

I thought it might amuse you to know that I’ve spotted a Fermilab full-zippered fleece in the Concord Monitor.

The story is an account of a lecture given in Concord, New Hampshire, by Brother Guy Consolmagno of the Vatican Observatory. The story is accompanied by a photo of Guy, who has given a colloquium at Fermilab (“Visitors from Another World: Searching for Meteorites in Antarctica,” April 1998) and visited on several other occasions, wearing his Fermilab fleece jacket.

Guy is the author of Brother Astronomer, and co-author of the popular Turn Left at Orion, a guide to using a small telescope. He also has a new book coming out in the fall.

I don’t suppose that Jesuit astronomers are fashion trendsetters, but it’s still nice to see the Fermilab logo turn up in an unexpected place.
