Hi Bob,

Thank you for this note.  When it arrived, we were in the midst of our 
site review and I didn't feel mentally able to adequately respond at 
that time with all the chaos a site review brings.  Now, I can write 
that the Education and Outreach Committee does appreciate the 
intentional effort to include EOC issues into your proposal; yours was 
the only group to approach us, an effort that does not go unnoticed.  I 
realize the award was a disappointment and we acknowledge the changes 
this will bring to the current LNO team.

The reps have asked if you will be at ASM and I assured them you would be.

All the best,

Mary

    Dear Mary

    I got news yesterday that our proposal was declined.  The new office
    will be at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis
    at UC-Santa Barbara.  As you can guess, I feel pretty bad about this
    because I thought we had a winning proposal with an excellent set of
    partners.  It's clear from the reviews that the focus was on a new
    approach, and it seems like we were actually hampered by our LTER
    history.  I want to thank you and the Education Committee for
    cooperating with us in the proposal.  Let me know if you have any
    questions.

    Best regards,

    Bob
