font-family:Arial'>As all of you are aware, we lost a key member of the BNC
family last week with the untimely death of Casey Heaton. Casey’s
contributions to BNC are legion, but the biggest loss is far more
personal. He was a good friend to many of us – Casey and I were
friends for 16 years. Several things are underway to honor Casey’s
memory.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Casey’s memory. The funds will be used to fund an upgrade to the
AXIC PECVD system in the BNC cleanroom. Casey was instrumental in the
final design of the AXIC, and it was his favorite piece of equipment at
BNC. Following the upgrade, the system will be named in Casey’s
honor and an appropriate plaque will be placed next to the cleanroom window at
that bay.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
