W e have attempted in this publication to provide a capsule of each person's experience in the field of plastics along wiih the accomplishments and recognition that were received. It was especially encouraging to be able to include the names of over 800 people working in 52 countries outside of North America-these, along with the several hundred born elsewhere but now working in North America, reflect the global contributions to the plastics industry. Since this was the first attempt of any of the staff in preparing such a volume, many unexpected difficulties were encountered in our journey, but we think that the result was worth the effort. Over 2500 attempts were made via phone call or e-mail to clarify some entries. While my personally contacting over 1200 of those listed in this edition was time-consuming, the interesting vignettes and reminiscences during those conversations made it worthwhile. When you peruse this volume, you will find many interesting facts. To help you gain full benefit from this publication, please read the following description of a complete entryrecognizing that in many instances we were unable to record all the information which we had originally hoped to obtain because of inadequate communication. Nevertheless, you will find that there are many entries that give some concise information on that person's contributions to the growth of the plastics industry for the past 50 years. These contributions vary from hula hoops to coextrusion dies and from barrier coatings to automotive parts. For each entry, we have provided the person's name, job title, company or organization's name, business address and electronic contacts-phone, fax, e-mail and website-along with similar electronic contacts to the home of the individual. (In our contact attempts, we found that over 10% of

these entries had to be corrected due to area code changes, transfers, job changes or down-sizing; in the latter case, we were usually able to track down the person's new location despite the difficulty involved.) The narrative portion of the entry starts with the place and date of birth, followed by a description of the person's educational experiences and attainments. Next is the description of the person's work experience where we have attempted to provide a chronological listing of the organizations with the years there and the job positions held. For academic appointments, people were asked to list some of their primary research areas. For periods of work at companies, we have tried to list the major operations and products with which the person was involved, along with some particular contributions that the individual made (when part of a team effort, we asked people to note that with a "T"). The next part of each entry is a listing of the number of patents, talks, papers, articles, book chapters and chairing of sessions. That is followed by books that the person had written or edited-along with the publisher and date, when available. With regard to publications, it should be noted that production people rarely have an opportunity to disclose information and that many companies severely restrict external publication of research results-thus we, regrettably, have not been able to reflect the writing skills andfor major contributions reported in the internal company documents that were prepared by some of these individuals. Next, there is a list of the conferences where the person has been the chair or other member of the organizing committee. The listing of the person's membership in professional societies includes the offices that were held in these organizations and the

WHO'S WHO IN PLASTICS 6. POLYMERS

awards that were conferred by these organizations. Other professional awards are then listed, followed by the person's civic activities and any awards given for such work. Finally, we have listed military service along with the person's residence address. We hope that readers will find this publication both informative and enjoyable. Please send us your comments on what you like

about this format and on ways to improve the next edition.

I wish to acknowledge my appreciation to

the many people who were involved in the production of this first edition of Who's Who in Plastics & Polymers. Special appreciation is given to the extraordinary efforts by Kimberly Martin, Angie Crouse and Lydia Steinke and the many contributions by my wife, Anne Harrington. James P. Harrington Editor-in-Chief

This first edition of Who's Who in Plastics & Polymers is issued at the dawn

included in this volume and have had good cooperation from most respondents. Another deficiency of the earlier volume was that only about one-third of the people gave an indication of the various jobs that they had held, and even fewer gave any more than a cursory description of what they did. Thus Dr. Gordon Kline's listing read: "Res on plastics at NBS since 1929"-a far too brief mention of the wide-ranging activities of this person's research contributions to plastics. We have thus tried to have people respond with the various jobs they held (including dates they were with each company, along with information on what products or process with which they were involved), research topics (especially while in grad school or as a professor), and awards. We decided that it would also be appropriate to include some community activities to show that many "plastics people" also contribute to society outside of their work.

of a new century to give credit to some of the people who contributed to the remarkable growth of the plastics industry during the last half century, particularly in the last two decades. The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and Technomic Publishing Company have continued their service to the plastics industry by joining together in this venture to fulfil1 a need to document many of these contributions.

For a historical perspective, the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) in 1949 published Who's Who in Plastics in the United States and Canada 1948-1949. This book had about 2300 entries for the U.S., about 250 for Canada and about 50 from other countries-India, England, Australia, China, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, Argentina, Holland, and Denmark. The introduction to that volume started as follows: "Who's Who in Plastics maps for the first time, the trails of early pioneers who breathed life into plastic billiard balls and celluloid collars, and of the newer members who joined the industry within the last ten years." We hope that this new edition will provide a similar recognition for those who made the many large and small contributions to the development of the plastics industry during the last half century-a period when the annual production of plastics in the United States alone has increased from 1 million tons to over 40 million tons. Since the value of plastics exceeded steel in the early 1990s, in terms of materials we can now legitimately call this the Plastics Age rather than the Steel Age.

In this manner, we have tried to record the numerous accomplishments of the manyscientists and engineers, marketers and researchers, foremen and mold-makers, and entrepreneurs and executives-who are now active in plastics and polymers, as well as those retirees (frequently continuing as consultants) who were active earlier in this half century. These people contributed to the advances in our civilization made possible by plastics; including television and videotape, electronics and computers, more energy-efficient and cost-effective automobiles, improved construction materials, many medical advances, and more effective packaging. The 1949 volume provided some measure of the contributions of the early plastic pioneers in the first half of this century. Now the Society of Plastics Engineers and Technomic Publishing Company have provided in this volume a similar record for the last half of the same century when the "settlers" developed the industry that the "pioneers"

Many of the listings in the 1949 volume contained only the person's name, position, and company address, and none of them had telephone numbers, home addresses, birthdate, or birthplace-nor did they list the number of patents and papers that they had received. We felt that these items should be vii

OF PLASTICS ENGINEERS Founded in Detroit in 1942, the Society of Plastics Engineers has grown from 60 members to over 33,000. SPE has been located in Connecticut since 1954, where it built its present office on two acres in Brookfield in 1980. What the charter members had in mind was to become more technically oriented about plastics because of the difficulty they had in making presentations to the automotive industry. SPEYs objective is still the education of its members "to provide and promote the knowledge and education of plastics and polymers worldwide." This is accomplished through conferences, seminars, monthly local Section meetings, and the 21 Technical Divisions. Although most of the 98 Sections are in the United States, SPE has members in over 70 countries. The Society operates a European office in Antwerp, Belgium, to better serve its members in European countries. Of the numerous benefits available to members, the monthly magazine PLASTICS ENGINEERING is one that is highly valued and its subscription cost is covered by each member's dues. The other SPE technical journals Polymer Engineering and Science, Polymer Composites, Journal of Vinyl & Additive Technology, Journal of Injection Molding Technology, and Journal of Applied Medical Polymers-have a more specialized content. PE&S is published 12 times per year. PC is printed six times a year, JVAT and JIMT four times a year and JAMP semiannually. Members may subscribe to these journals at reduced rates. The SPE Bookstore offers over 250 technical titles to chose from, including software and video formats. Members save approximately 20% off list prices. The SPE Technical Volumes Committee puts its stamp of approval on some of these titles indicated by an SPE logo on the book's spine.

The Society annually presents International Awards at its Annual Technical Conference (ANTEC) to individuals for their outstanding contributions with awards in the areas of Research, Business Management, Education, Engineering/Technology, Benefit to Society, and for international contributions to the plastics industry (The International Award). Two awards are also presented for Plastics Products Design-in Industrial and Consumer categories. Another way SPE promotes plastics is on video. In 1984, SPE produced the film, Plastics, The World of Imagination. The 30minute award-winning film has been seen, thanks to cable TV, by over 40 million people. Out of its success came the need to make another film, this one geared to high school students. So in 1991 SPE put together an educational program "Solving Tomorrow" which includes a 20-minute video, Not Your Average Field Trip. It has been distributed free to high school teachers of physics, biology, earth science, and chemistry. It's extremely successful, having reached over 24 million students. In January 2000 the Society unveiled an elementary school program (for grades 4 through 6) entitled Dr. Polly Polymer and the Fantastic Plastics Factory. Each kit contains a video of four 5-minute segments, a teacher's guide, and worksheets for the students. The video, part animation and part live, follows three students as they go on a scavenger hunt for plastic items and in the process learn about plastics. The SPE Foundation, with major support from the Color & Appearance Division and the Thermoforming Division, as well as many Sections and other Divisions, raised the funds to make this project a reality. SPE serves college members in 98 Student Chapters at technical colleges and universities where there are courses and programs in

WHO'S WHO IN PLASTICS & POLYMERS

plastics. There are Chapters in Sweden, Germany, Finland, Mexico, Taiwan, Canada, and Singapore, as well as the United States. The SPE Scholarship Fund helps undergraduate students in their pursuit of a career in polymers. Along with Section contributions, SPE provides more than $400,000 in grants and scholarships. SPE seminars cover processing, design, materials, applications, and management. About 40 titles are presented annually, all over the world. Conferences, too, are an important part of what's happening in the Society. Approximately 18 of these one- or two-day technical sessions (RETECs) take place all around the world every year. ANTEC, the Annual Technical Conference, attracts members from all over. It is the largest technical meeting in the industry. The 1996 ANTEC, held in Indianapolis, was

attended by over 4,800 people, hosted 160 exhibitors and presented almost 700 technical papers. The preprint of the entire conference took 3,700 pages. The 1997 ANTEC was held in Toronto, Canada. Atlanta was the site for 1998; New York City for 1999, and Orlando, 2000. Dallas, Chicago, and Nashville follow. The first Processors Conference was held November 1997 in Columbus, Ohio. It concentrated on four areas-Extrusion, Blow Molding, Injection Molding, and Mold Making & Mold Design. The second ProCon was held in March 1999 in Greensboro, North Carolina. The ProCons are designed to appeal to Processors, Resin Suppliers, Distributors, Designers, End Users, Equipment Manufacturers, and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturers with emphasis on addressing questions from the shop floor.

1999-2000 SPE Executive Committee
