Marilyn Lindstrom


It was Lindstrom's job to take good care of these mostly stony masses. She made sure they were handled carefully and kept clean. And she helped prepare them for research. The rocks had to be split into smaller chips that could be sent out to scientists. She did such a good job that an asteroid and mountain were named after her.
