Chapter of the Naval Civilian Administrators Association recently awarded an honorary membership to Capt. Ralph S. Barnaby, USN (ret.). Captain Barnaby, now 87 years old, has had a long and intimate association with the Center and its civilian management personnel.

As the first official act of his honorary membership and in keeping with established tradition of the NAVAIRDEVCEN Chapter, Captain Barnaby presented the 1980 Ralph S. Barnaby Award to Dino A. Mancinelli, as- sociate technical director of NAVAIRDEV- CEN. The Naval Civilian Administrators Asso- ciation is a national organization of senior level managers employed in Navy civil serv- ice. It is organized into 13 chapters located in seven Naval shipyards, three Naval avia- tion activities, the Naval Ships Engineering Command, and the Polaris Missile Facility/ Naval Weapons Station, Charleston. SNAME To Sponsor Exhibition At 90th Annual Meeting In 1982 The First International Marine Technol- ogy Exhibition will be sponsored by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine En- gineers and held in conjunction with its 90th Annual Meeting on November 18-20, 1982, at The New York Hilton Hotel. This prece- dent-setting announcement was made by John J. Nachtsheim, president of the Soci- ety. Mr. Nachtsheim made the observation that at present, there was no single major maritime industry exhibition with profes- sional/technical society sponsorship held in the United States. He said, "We expect to attract an impressive array of exhibitors from all over the world, who will welcome the opportunity to display their latest tech- nical achievements to our sophisticated au- dience of naval architects, marine and ocean engineers. Our members will not only bene- fit from the outstanding annual meeting pa- pers presented in the two-day technical pro- gram, but learn from the exhibiting compa- nies as well." The decision to establish an exhibition was made by the Society's Executive Com- mittee based upon a survey of industry in- terest. Policy and planning are under the direction of an Exhibition Committee con- sisting of the following Society members: Robert J. Bazzini (Delaval), Jerome M. Gruber (Waukesha Bearings), Robert B. Hedges (Combustion Engineering), Jack A. Obermeyer (Texaco), Charles P. O'Malley (Maritime Reporter), Louis E. Rau (Colt Industries), J. Thomas Schroppe (Foster Wheeler), and Harry R. Yagel (Westing- house). Robert G. Mende, secretary and ex- ecutive director of the Society, serves as Committee chairman.
