Pinhead Susan's Recognition Dinner

Cheers to Mark (and Kyle). Kyle had a concert in Newburgh and couldn't make the dinner - so we texted him this picture.

Mark's first gift. A customized topographical map of Lake Plaid region of New York. The special edition of this map includes a Mark D. Olson Career trail with milestone markers.

The map include New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Trail markers that included the dates of key milestones in Mark's life. The trail begins with Mark in his birthday suite.

Trail map includes personal as well as career milestones and positions that Mark held at KAPL. Some of the personal events included pictures provided by friends and relatives.

An embarrassing moment of Mark's life discussed.

Sorry for the blurry image. Shane provided some career statistics on Mark's publications at KAPL.

Kevin spoke about the significant accomplishments that Mark made on a computer code used at the laboratory.

Mark's gift - a tee shirt with custom logo that Mark originally designed.

Sarah Woods presenting her special gift to Mark.

Just look at that gift wrapping job.

The gift was a coffee mug with a picture of an unstable island (inside work joke).

The final surprise gift was a huge box.

Slipping the gift out of the box. It is a corn hole game.

A custom Corn Hole Game with a special emblem. Two ears of corn within a red cross - reflective of Mark's personal corn allergy.

Let's eliminate the world of corn for Mark's sake.

The Corn Hole Game included custom bags with Mark's image on both sides.

That's a middle school image of Mark on that bean bag.
