Quote: I would like to thank the Extraction and Processing Division of TMS for this Distinguished Service Award. I am both surprised and honored. I see this annual award in a broader context. I see this as an annual reminder and recognition of the significant efforts by many other people in the Society who actively promote and support the activities of our profession. As well as a personal award, it is a way of extending thanks to them for their important contributions.
