Don't Miss the Honors Assembly

To the Editor: On Tuesday, Nov. 7, during the International Mechanical Engineering Congress, an event will take place that you won't want to miss - the Honors Assembly, an impressive and dramatic audiovisual experience.

This year, the following awards and medals will be presented: Honorary Membership to Dr. Alva L. Addy, Dr. James R. Welty, and Dr. Ward O. Winer; the ASME Medal to Prof. Richard J. Goldstein; the Henry Laurence Gantt Medal to Charla K. Wise; the Melvin R. Green Codes and Standards Medal to J. Robert Sims, Jr.; the Frank Kreith Energy Award to Prof. Roland Winston; the ASME Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies Inc. Medal to Prof. Abel Hernandez-Guerrero; the M. Eugene Merchant Manufacturing Medal of ASME/SME to Prof. Yoran Koren; and the Dixy Lee Ray Award to Richard Pombo.

The Honors Assembly will be followed by a reception, during which you will have the opportunity to socialize with the award recipients and other attendees. This part of the evening provides members with the opportunity to talk to those colleagues — old friends and new — you have missed during the hectic first days of the meeting.

The Honors Assembly is free and all attendees are invited to attend. The Honors Reception is a cash bar event. For those of you wishing to join the honorees at the Honors Dinner, which follows the reception, tickets can be purchased in the registration area of the hotel.

On behalf of ASME, I hope you will join us for this special evening.

— William W. Durgin, Chair
ASME Committee on Honors
