Mountain View, CA.., 17 March 2005 -- This evening, the nonprofit SETI
League, leaders in a global search for extra-terrestrial intelligence,
recognized one of its key volunteers for extraordinary service to the
grassroots, nonprofit organization's educational and scientific mission.
University of Kentucky Prof. Robert Lodder was honored at a private
awards dinner held in conjunction with the annual CONTACT conference at
the NASA Ames Research Center.

Lodder, one of The SETI League's earliest members and staunchest
supporters, received the fourth annual Orville N. Greene Service Award,
which honors the memory of patent attorney and SETI League co-founder
Orville Greene. Rob Lodder has served as a SETI League volunteer
Regional Coordinator, and as a member of the group's Strategic Planning
Committee. He and his students built and operate an active Project Argus
radio telescope, and have been working on technology to assist members
in getting involved in Optical SETI. Lodder serves as founding
editor-in-chief of Contact In Context, The SETI League's online
peer-reviewed scholarly journal. He has participated in every one of The
SETI League's annual SETICon Technical Symposia, and helps to administer
and present Contact In Context's annual Best Ideas awards. "Especially
now that we are an all-volunteer organization," noted Dr. H. Paul Shuch,
the group's volunteer Executive Director, "The SETI League's success and
very survival depend upon such stellar contributions of time, talent,
and energy as Rob Lodder has long demonstrated. He sets the standard for
us all."

Largely using radio telescopes and optical telescopes, SETI scientists
seek to determine whether humankind is alone in the universe. Since
Congress terminated NASA's SETI funding in 1993, The SETI League and
other scientific groups have privatized the research. Amateur and
professional scientists interested in participating in the search for
intelligent alien life, and citizens wishing to help support it, should
