Marty Marlatt celebrates 30 Years with Computer Science Nerds

In June, 1974, a young woman from Newcomerstown, Ohio, joined a relatively new department in Ohio State. Martha "Marty" Marlatt became the Department Secretary in the Computer & Information Science (now Computer Science & Engineering). Her duties included all the typing for the Department and assisting Ernie Stavely with his HR duties. Over the years Marty has done most of the administrative jobs. For the past 18 years she has served as the assistant to the Chair working first for Merv Muller and then for Stu Zweben.

Marty has become the heart of CSE as well as it's history archive. Over the years she has made dear friends of faculty, staff and students. No one can imagine CSE without her and it is an unanimous hope that it will be a long time till we find out what that version of the Department is like.

At the banquet, Stu presented her with two gifts: a clock bearing the face of a yellow lab and a garden stone with OSU engraved. The significance of these items is in that they honored two of Marty's greatest passions: raising puppies for Canine Companions for Indepdendence and gardening.
