Editor's Turn

This electronic version of the newsletter remained somewhat incomplete until Mid-June since most every Society volunteer is flying off to be at the big ECTC meeting in Orlando Florida. The ECTC (ECC) has been the most heavily attended annual meeting of our Society for more than 50 years. This is the one chance we have to renew friendships and compare research notes across a large group of technologies that are the focus of CPMT.

This was to be the last issue of the Newsletter with me as editor. But it looks like Vasu Atluri will not be ready to take over until December. This means that the September issue will not be top priority for anyone. It may be electronic only since the paper version represents a lot of pain for volunteers. Please contact Vice President Paul Wesling for any volunteer work you can do for future newsletters. Please keep sending your news and photos to the new editor, it is the member volunteers that make the Newsletter and this Society function. Thanks for 25 years of assistance.

My thanks to all the volunteers that sent in news this issue. This includes Phil Garrou, Marsha Tickman, Paul Wesling, Rajen Chanchani, Kishio Yokouchi, Craig Gaw, P. B. Parikh, Kristine Martin, Al Puttlitz, Yoshitaka Fukuoka, Megan McRainey, Reed Crouch, Swapan Bhattacharya, boyd wiedenman, Rao Bonda, Ricky Lee, and Suresh Subramanyan..
