Quote:
"I have been a member of TMS for well over 30 years, and can remember with clarity listening to the great Mehl Award lectures of many years ago by such luminaries as Jack Christina, Mike Ashby, Peter Haasen, and Bill Nix. I am honored yet humbled to be the 2010 recipient of the TMS Robert Franklin Mehl Award and only hope that I am worthy enough to be included with this elite group of individuals."
