We are rather pleased to announce an unusual arrival to the archives.  Among a collection of materials related to the construction of the ATLC was this autographed groundbreaking shovel!  Thanks to Doug Heesten in Institutional Advancement for sending these materials our way!  Now…where do I put it?
