The Weather Museum Sells First Glass Block at Annual AMS Meeting

HOUSTON - The very first personalized glass block, which will be part of the Weather Museum, was purchased January 10 at the Annual American Meteorological Society (AMS) Meeting held in Long Beach, California. The block was purchased by James Gooding, of Seabrook, Texas, a member of the local Houston chapter of the AMS. Gooding is director of meteorology at Duke Energy.

The glass blocks will be used in the walls of the new lobby of the Weather Museum in Houston and will be personalized with the name or any special message of the donor. This is one of several levels of donation opportunities available to support the Weather Museum.

The Weather Museum is the creation of Jill F. Hasling, CCM, director of the Weather Research Center. The Museum will not only preserve historical equipment and weather data but be a place for people of all ages to come and learn about weather safety and just how the Weather works.
