- Membership
Development Committee
News
The most important
news to come out of
the February 16th
online meeting of the
Membership
Development Committee
was that current IEEE
members of all grades
who have not renewed
their membership by
February 29, 2008,
WILL NOT be reminded
of their impending
lapsed membership and
2008 dues
owed.
-
- Instead,
they will be
AUTOMATICALLY dropped
from IEEE membership
list as of March 1,
2008. Thereafter,
such lapsed members
will only have access
to the IEEE web page
under their old user
IDs and passwords for
a short while to be
determined.
-
- After
February 29, 2008,
the lapsed members
will have to join
(rejoin) as new
members. I don't know
what the new
membership status
will be of formerly
Senior Members who
have allowed their
membership to
lapse.

Orlando Section Life
Senior Member
Died
Engineer Charles
Finnigan's keen mind
ranged from the stars
to more down-to-earth
interests.
Mr.
Charles Finnigan, a life
senior member of the
Orlando Section, died in
December at age 94. He
was George McClure's
boss at Martin Marietta
in the 1960s, and a fine
engineer. As a
self-taught astronomer,
computer programmer and
licensed pilot, Charles
Finnigan of Orlando had
a passion for learning
that he shared with
family, friends and
students. After
graduating from
Massachusetts Institute
of Technology with a
bachelor's degree in
electrical engineering,
Finnigan worked for
several companies and
served as an adjunct
professor of astronomy
at Rollins College and
the University of
Central Florida.
