CranberryWX Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Here's an article in this mornings paper about Alan Rezek's retirement after nearly 4 decades of service.

isohume Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Heck of an "idea man". Great energy and fun to listen to. I met Alan a couple years ago here at GSP when he was pitching his "warn on forecast" program to us. It was a difficult sell and in fact it never really panned out for us. He was, nonetheless, very inspiring to listen to and his claims that "fearing to fail" is not a reason to be unimaginative or innovative exemplifies his whole spirit. He was also instrumental in developing aviation grids, which will someday be made and used by all NWS offices and the FAA. He'll be missed in our community that's for sure.
