PMEL.ORG
“Illegitimi Non Carborundum”

The PMEL.ORG website was originally created in 1998 by Ernie Huffine, a retired former USAF Metrology (PMEL) School instructor and lab technician stationed at Lowry AFB, CO’s PMEL School. It was authored using the primitive (by today’s standards) tools available at the time, namely Microsoft’s “FrontPage.” Ernie has since given up the tedious tasking of maintaining websites (he was responsible for several, including one for his local Veteran’s organization). With his relinquishing duties as webmaster for the PMEL.ORG website, several of us who’d also become engaged building and maintaining websites over the years offered to keep the website and its domain name PMEL.ORG current. Beginning on 10 Sep 2017 we began our attempt at bringing the old website up to today’s standards using XARA’s “Design Publisher” as the authoring tool of choice, adding a bit of eye-candy so many have grown accustomed to seeing when visiting websites these days. We’ve just recently also renewed the domain name PMEL.ORG as well, and will be moving the website to a new server by October of 2017. We’ve elected to keep some of the website’s original content while updating it with current information given the changes through the years which included seeing Lowry AFB, CO,
home of the Metrology Training Program from 1958 to when Lowry was closed by BRAC in 1994, moving to Keesler AFB, Mississippi.The following individuals have been responsible for keeping PMEL.ORG around for at least a few more years… George Blood, MSgt USAF Retired; PMEL Technician, Instructor 16 years. Worked with Ernie Huffine to acquire and maintain the domain name PMEL.ORG, and to obtain access credentials to Ernie’s website which enabled us to download and archive the original PMEL.ORG files. George Blood, working as a volunteer with the Air & Space Museum in Aurora, CO, provided historical documentation pertaining to Lowry AFB and the PMEL/Metrology school during its tenure until base closure. George Smith, MSgt USAF Retired; PMEL Technician, Instructor, Course Developer, author, and Course Supervisor, 16 years. Worked with George Blood to download, maintain, and publish local copies of PMEL.ORG for future use…as in the redeveloping of this website.
