I would like to dedicate this book to Ruth, Ann, and Jan, Sue and Marvin and all the members of my family who have been by my side throughout the years. Always in my heart is the memory of my husband, Bill, and my parents, T/Sgt. Leo and Nancy Hargrove, who are the rocks on which my life is built. I also thank and acknowledge my sisters, Gail and Debbie, my nephew Benjamin, and Paula for their support and encouragement. My children, Teresa and Aaron, continue to amaze me as they enter their adulthood and remain the most important people in my life. Congratulations Aaron on your graduation. 

The Society then launched a new journal. Chemical Technology (known more often as CHEMTECH), in 1971 under the editorship of Benjamin J. Luberoff, who presided over most of its 29-year history. An innovative feature was an advisory board comprised of initially 12 (and later as many as 22) Divisional representatives fi om the so-called applied Divisions of the Society. The I EC liaison representative for many years was Bill Flank. The board was initially chaired by Leo Friend of I EC. This group met regularly to provide feedback and monitoring, and to assist in securing relevant articles for the journal. After Friend s untimely death in an auto accident, the Leo Friend Award for the most significant article each year in CHEMTECH was established and funded by the I EC Division.
