Thompson bids farewell to co-workers

William "Buck" Thompson took casual Fridays to a new level on his last official day of work at Los Alamos. Sporting a "new do," earring and Hawaiian apparel, Thompson shared some laughs with co-workers at his office in the Administration Building at Technical Area 3 last Friday. Thompson retired as principal deputy associate director for weapons physics (ADWP) after 32 years of service to Los Alamos. Thompson previously was special assistant to former Laboratory Director Sig Hecker for 11 years and for one year with former Director John Browne.
