Did Leonard Weingarth earn his BS in Geophysics at UNM or at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology? I had a student with the same name work for me at NMIMT…
This is upsettingly sad. One of my best friends at NGA. I was looking his name up on Google when I came across this. He was a bright light in my life and I will miss his laugh and rebel attitude immensely. He taught me so much. He left us too soon.
