 * Symbol question.svg Article is long enough, neutral, moved to the mainspace recently enough, and no copyvios. The hook is short enough, and is cited, but it's not all that interesting by itself. It would grab the reader much more, I think, to mention something specific that Hammond did as director than to simply say that he was director.

 * ALT1: ... that George P. Hammond discovered new details about the desertion of Oñate's colony in New Mexico? Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 18:10, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I changed the hook, so hopefully it is a better attention-grabber. Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:07, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
