The award states, “Recognizing Ben Gelber for Twenty Years of Service in the Government of the United States of America,“ from the U.S. Department of Commerce/NOAA.

Gelber was selected for the Cooperative Observer Program more than 20 years ago.

Kenneth Haydu, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service office in Wilmington, Ohio, wrote: “The observations that Ben has provided prove his deep level of commitment ot public service. Thank you for your 20 years of dedication and faithful service to the Cooperative Weather Observer Program.“

Haydu added, “Weather observations have been woven into the fabric of the history of the United States provide many purposes. They are a lasting and important contribution … These ground truth observations lead to an increased situational awareness for meteorologists … observers become a part of the National Weather Service mission to protect life and property.“

For decades, Gelber has been forwarding daily observations and storm documentation to regional weather service offices in Wilmington, Ohio, and Philadelphia (Mount Holly, N.J.) in the NWS Eastern Region.

Gelber also works with the NWS in detailing local storm damage in the NBC4 coverage area, which helps determine the nature of the wind damage (straight-line or tornadic).

He began keeping weather records in elementary school (maximum/minimum temperatures, rainfall, snowfall, snow depth, unusual events), which are now part of the published NOAA archives.

Haydu wrote, “The weather observations become an integral part of the climate history of the United States and get more valuable with time with the tracking of changes in climate.“

Gelber has published numerous weather and science articles, and has written books on regional weather history that include tributes to former volunteer observers, as far back as the Founding Fathers — our earliest American meteorologist.

Her mother Kathleen was a homemaker and philanthropist, and her father Martin Joseph was an attorney. She is the youngest of five children, with three sisters and one brother. Holmes began classes at a modeling school in Toledo when she was fourteen, which led to her competing in the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) Competition in New York City in 1996. After performing a monologue from “To Kill a Mockingbird,” she was signed to an agent, who sent out her audition tape to the casting director of “The Ice Storm” (1997). The film became her big-screen debut opposite Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver.As her career was still in its early stages, Holmes went to Los Angeles for pilot season—the time of year when producers cast and shoot new programs—in January 1997. Reportedly she turned down an offer to star in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” in order to finish high school. She was also invited to come to Los Angeles by Columbia TriStar Television, which was producing a new show “Dawson’s Creek.” However, Holmes has a scheduling conflict, as she was acting in her school’s production of “Damn Yankees.” After receiving permission to audition on videotape, she read for the part of Joey Potter, title character Dawson’s best friend, eventually winning the part.Acting Career: Her role as Joey Potter propelled her into the national spotlight, and she soon found herself on the covers of magazines such as Seventeen, TV Guide, and Rolling Stone.
