Honors Assembly at Congress

To the Editor: On Monday, Nov. 12, during the ASME 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 professor Avram Bar-Cohen, professor Richard E. DeVor, and Bobby L. Green; the ASME Medal to Dean Kamen; the Melvin R. Green Codes & Standards Medal to Guido Karcher; the Spirit of St. Louis Medal to professor Earl H. Dowell; the Frank Kreith Energy Award to professor D. Yogi Goswami; the M. Eugene Merchant Manufacturing Medal of ASME/SME to professor Takeo Nakagawa; the George Westinghouse Gold Medal to professor Roman Weber; and the Dixy Lee Ray Award to professor Richard Wilson.

The 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, 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
