On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of David Wessel's passing, CNMAT's ex-officio Associate Director, Richard Andrews, shares his reflections:
I had the distinct privilege of working with David Wessel from September 9, 1996 until his untimely passing on October 13, 2014. I started as an administrator and eventually became CNMAT’s Associate Director as well as Executive Director of the Eco Ensemble. I retired from CNMAT in June of 2021.
