(j3.2006) collect emeritus info

[Jerry Wagener]

Hello all -

I must have missed a note requesting info, but have seen Kurt's and  
Loren's replies. Strange that INCITS can't call this info up from  
their databases pronto. Here's the presumable relevant data for me:  
member of the committee continuously 1977 - 1997, vice chair  
1984-1991 (back in the days when the committee had a vice chair - the  
position was eliminated around 1995, as I recall), and chair 1991-1997.

Great to see everyone last week in Las Vegas.    -Jerry
