In 1981, 200+ astronomers converged on Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA,
to share their latest theories and observations of extragalactic radio
sources. This conference, IAU Symposium 97, featured early results
from the VLA, which had been dedicated the previous
year. Mid-conference outings included hiking the Kiwanis Cabin Trail
atop Sandia Crest. Astronomers resting at the Cabin include (left to
right) Bob Fosbury, Andrew Wilson, Joan Wrobel, Wil van Breugel, Linda
Dressel, Lorenzo Zaninetti, Richard White, Tim Heckman, Qifeng Yin,
Robert Laing, and Jeff Puschell. Bob is photographing the
photographer, Craig Walker.
