Call for Papers in Honor of Bill Wolfe Over his years at OSC, Professor Emeritus William L. Wolfe has served many roles: advisor, teacher, mentor, colleague and friend. At the 2012 SPIE Optics + Photonics Conference, a special program is being held to allow us to reflect on the many ways Bill has helped advance our careers as well as the personal impacts he has had. A Call for Papers for Conference OP304 has been published. This conference provides an opportunity to show Bill in person how the knowledge he has shared has been applied and expanded in the technical and professional arena. Due to special nature of the conference, if you are not able to attend, your papers or personal letters will be inserted into the Proceeding for all to enjoy. If you have any questions, please contact anyone on the committee: Mary Turner, Jim Harvey, Larry Brooks or Jasmin Cote. Abstract deadline is Jan. 30, 2012.
