John Anthony Maurer, IV and Kasey Barton

Maurer

Barton
1. English: habitational name from any of the numerous
places named with Old English bere or bær ‘barley’ + tun
‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’, i.e. an outlying grange. Compare
Barwick.
2. German and central European (e.g. Czech and Slovak
Barton): from a pet form of the personal name
Bartolomaeus (see Bartholomew).
Bartholomew
English: from a medieval personal name, Latin Bart(h)
olomaeus, from the Aramaic patronymic bar-Talmay ‘son
of Talmay’, meaning ‘having many furrows’, i.e. rich in land.
This was an extremely popular personal name in Christian
Europe, with innumerable vernacular derivatives. It derived
its popularity from the apostle St. Bartholomew (Matthew 10:
3), the patron saint of tanners, vintners, and butlers. As an
Irish name, it has been used as an Americanized form of
Mac Pharthaláin

Stanford University:
John Anthony Maurer, IV;
Kasey Barton Maurer;
Erin Maurer Quattromani;
and James Quattromani (graduates)

December 2006 Graduation of Dr. Kasey Barton Maurer with her Ph.D. from
the University of Colorado at Boulder, with her husband Johnny Maurer, IV.,
MA (he received his MA from UC-Boulder in May 2006).

John and Kasey, and now Desmond, Maurer live in Boulder, Colorado. The Boulder a
village near Haystack Mountain. Utes, Cheyennes, Comanches, and Sioux were
occasional visitors to the area.

Gold seekers established the first non-native settlement in Boulder County on October
17, 1858 at Red Rocks near the entrance to Boulder Canyon. Less than a year later, on
February 10, 1859, the Boulder City Town Company was organized by A.A. Brookfield, the
first president, and 56 shareholders. Four thousand forty-four lots were laid out at a
purchase price of $1,000 each, a price that was later lowered in order to attract more
residents.

Boulder's first schoolhouse was built in 1860 at the southwest corner of Walnut and 15th
Street, the first in the territory. Also in 1860 a group of Boulder residents began lobbying
to have the University of Colorado located in Boulder. By 1874 Boulder had won the
designation, secured a donated 44.9 acre site and raised $15,000 to match a similar
grant by the state legislature. Construction of Old Main signaled the opening of the
University, with classrooms, auditorium, office and the President's living quarters all
located there.

Boulder is located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just 35 miles northwest of
Denver. Home of the University of Colorado's main campus and the National Center for
Atmospheric Research, Boulder sits 5,430 feet above sea level and is surrounded by a
greenbelt of city trails and open spaces. Boulder is known for its natural beauty, outdoor
recreation, natural product retailers and restaurants, outstanding alternative
transportation options, diverse businesses, and technological and academic resources.

Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly known as Stanford University (or simply Stanford), is a private
university located approximately 37 miles (60 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco and approximately 20 miles
(32 km) northwest of San José in Stanford, California. Stanford is situated adjacent to the city of Palo Alto, near
Silicon Valley.

Stanford was founded by railroad magnate and California Governor Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Stanford. It
is named in honor of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., who died of typhoid just before his 16th birthday.

Hopkins Marine Station is the marine laboratory of Stanford University. It is located ninety miles
south of the university's main campus, in Pacific Grove, California (USA) on the Monterey
Peninsula, adjacent to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is home to nine research laboratories and a
fluctuating population of graduate and undergraduate students.

Hopkins Marine Station was founded in 1892, making it the oldest marine laboratory on the US
Pacific Coast, and the third oldest in the US, after Woods Hole and Cold Spring Harbor. It was
originally named the Hopkins Seaside Laboratory and located on what is now called Lover's Point.
In 1917, the laboratory was moved to its current location on Mussel/China/Cabrillo Point, and given
its current name: Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University. The marine station's namesake is
Timothy Hopkins, the founder of the city of Palo Alto and an early supporter of Stanford University,
not Johns Hopkins, founder of the Johns Hopkins University. The marine station is not affiliated
with the latter. Kasey Barton and John A. Maurer, IV both studied at Hopkins Marine Station.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) supports research into our world's frozen realms:
the snow, ice, glacier, frozen ground, and climate interactions that make up Earth's cryosphere.
Scientific data, whether taken in the field or relayed from satellites orbiting Earth, form the foundation
for the scientific research that informs the world about our planet and our climate systems.

NSIDC manages and distributes scientific data, creates tools for data access, supports data users,
performs scientific research, and educates the public about the cryosphere.

NSIDC has led the field of cryospheric data management since 1976; we are part of the Cooperative
Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The NOAA team at NSIDC manages about 60 NOAA data sets, and publishes several new data sets
each year, with an emphasis on in situ data, data rescue, and data sets from operational
communities such as the U.S. Navy. We also help develop educational pages, contribute to larger
projects, and support the WDC for Glaciology, Boulder, and the NSIDC Information Center.

NSIDC was established at the University of Colorado by NOAA's National Environmental Satellite,
Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) in 1982, to serve as a national information and referral center
for polar research. While NSIDC is not part of NOAA, we are affiliated with the NOAA National
Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) through a cooperative agreement, and archive and distribute our
NOAA data in partnership with NGDC. NOAA at NSIDC activities are made possible by support from
NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC, and the NOAA Arctic Research Program.

Kasey Barton was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The City of Colorado Springs is the second most populous city (after Denver) in the State of
Colorado and the 48th most populous city in the United States.[2] The city is the county seat
of El Paso County, with a small portion of the city lying in Teller County.

Colorado Springs is located just east of the geographic center of the state and 63 miles
(101 kilometers) south of Denver, the state's capital city. At 6,035 feet (1839 meters)
Colorado Springs sits over one mile above sea level, though some areas of the city are
significantly higher. The city is situated near the base of one of the most famous American
mountains, Pikes Peak, at the eastern edge of the Southern Rocky Mountains.

Colorado Springs was founded in August 1871 by General William Palmer, with the
intention of creating a high quality resort community, and was soon nicknamed "Little
London" because of the many English tourists who came. Nearby Pikes Peak and the
Garden of the Gods made the city's location a natural.

Colorado Springs saw its first military base in 1942 shortly after Pearl Harbor was attacked.
It was during this time the U.S. Army established Camp Carson near the southern borders
of the city in order to train and house troops in preparation for the Second World War. It was
also during this time that the Army began using Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. It was
renamed Peterson Field and used as a training base for heavy bombers (the airport and
base still share parts of the flightline).

The Army expanded Camp Carson, a venture that increased growth in Colorado Springs
and provided a significant area of industry for the city. After World War II the military stepped
away from the Springs and it seemed the city's military boom was over, Camp Carson was
declining and the military was activating and deactivating Peterson Field irregularly. That all
changed when the Korean War erupted and the declining Camp Carson of 600 was
revitalized, along with many other parts of the Springs. In 1951, Ent Air Force Base (named
for Major General Uzal Girard Ent, commander of the Ninth Air Force during World War II)
was opened when the United States Air Defense Command moved to Colorado Springs (it
is now the home to the United States Olympic Training Center).

After the Korean War, Peterson Field was renamed Peterson Air Force Base and was
permanently activated. In 1954 Camp Carson became Fort Carson, Colorado Spring's first
Army post. Later that same year, President Dwight D. Eisenhower chose, out of 300 other
sites around the nation, Colorado Springs to be the site of the Air Force's military academy.
With a new and growing Army post, an Air Force Base, and the Air Force's military academy,
Colorado Springs' growth was jump-started.

The military boom continued and in 1963, NORAD's main facility was built in Cheyenne
Mountain. It placed NORAD directly next to Colorado Springs and permanently secured the
city's military presence. During the Cold War the city greatly expanded due to increased
revenue from various industries and the prevailing military presence in the city. In the mid
1970s, Ent Air Force Base was shut down and later converted into the United States Olympic
Training Center. Military presence was further increased in 1983 with the founding of
Schriever Air Force Base (formerly Falcon Air Force Base), a base primarily tasked with
missile defense and satellite control. Fort Carson and Peterson are still growing and
continue to contribute to the city's growth. Headquarters, Air Force Space Command, is
located on Peterson AFB.
