On that note, there are numerous other people inside and outside of OGL, Northeastern, and NEB who made extra efforts to ensure this move was efficient and successful.  There are too many to thank everyone individually, so I can only mention a few-- please forgive me!  First, we thank the Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trust and the Richard Lounsbery Foundation for their financial support of the merger and move. At Northeastern we'd especially like to thank Murray Gibson, Geoff Trussell, Steve Vollmer, Heather Sears, Ruby Guerrero, Dave Folsom, Nancy Chislak, Bill McKenna, Tom Sullivan, Ryan Hill and a host of others. So many people at New England Biolabs have helped and supported OGL over the years, but for help with the move we'd especially like to thank Bob Trigilio and the whole crew at facilities, Brian Tinger, Karen Otto, Ching-Lun Lin, Linda Stecchi, and Barry Cohen.

John Creighton of Elaine Construction and Bill McKenna of Arcadis US worked really hard to ensure that the condtruction of the new lab was finished on time. Again, we thank Keith Tobin and of Tobin Scientific's moving crew.  OGL's Board of Directors worked hard to negotiate a sustainable and mutually-beneficial relationship with Northeastern University. And of course, OGL sends a special thank you to its founder, Dr. Don Comb, for his consistent and generous financial, scientific, and intellectual support over the years, not to mention all of the wonderful artwork that he has given us, including the beautiful sculpture seen below.
