Hall of Fame Welcomes Inductees

CHICAGO—The 20th annual Gold Ink Awards and Hall of Fame Gala drew more than 300 attendees to the McCormick Place Grand Ballroom during Graph Expo last month, with the Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame opening the doors to four new inductees.

During the course of the evening, which included a cocktail reception prior to the dinner, four prominent members of the printing industry joined the ranks with 82 men and two women previously enshrined. Those honored were Tim Poole, president of Dome Printing; Chris Colville, retired CFO and executive vice president of Consolidated Graphics; Gary Samuels, managing partner at Pictorial Offset; and David Torok, president and CEO of Padgett Printing.

Publishing Executive, PI’s sister publication, added three of its own Hall of Fame honorees: Louis Milani, senior director, publishing operations and business affairs, Consumers Union; Marie Myers, senior vice president of manufacturing, CMP Technology; and Michael Weinstein, vice president, EDP and manufacturing, Oxford University Press.

The event was hosted by North American Publishing Co. (NAPCO), which publishes Printing Impressions, and sponsored by Heidelberg and Kodak.
