Farewell, Scott. You done good

Ames director resigns, SJ Mercury News

"Some Ames employees have quietly speculated that Hubbard was forced out for being too protective of his workers and resistant to plans to trim even more positions. None would talk on the record to protect their jobs. But they fear his successor will be asked to usher in a new era at the research center -- one that is leaner, and meaner, for employees. Paul K. Davis, president of the Ames Federal Employees Union, said he was sorry to see Hubbard go and hopes his replacement "will be someone who will enable us to continue contributing to NASA's mission."
