EDITOR'S notebook

Sadly, reflecting on our awards program over the years also brings back tragic memories. Danbury Printing's Cecil Previdi, who was honored by us during Graph Expo in 1986, would be among those killed in a small plane crash during the same show just one year later while on the way to view some pressroom equipment in Wisconsin. I also recall vividly Judd's Inc. CEO Thomas Manning—who attended the banquet in 1991 knowing he had terminal cancer—proudly accepting the award in front of his entire family, which included 10 children. And, even from afar, our gala in 1989 was disrupted mid-stream by the San Francisco earthquake.
