Dr . Eisenhart ’ s remarks :
Colleagues and Friends ,
I look at the list of previous recipients of this award and I am humbled to be selected to be in this group . My motivation was only to leave the woodpile higher than I found it .
I do want to recognize some who I feel made it easier to fell , cut and stack the wood .
I always found the PDA staff to be first class . My own office staff , my extended family and their ability to go with the flow have helped me in too many ways to count . All those I ’ ve served with over the years have made this an unforgettable , shared journey . Lastly , to my best friend and wife , Patricia . Thanks Patricia .
Thanks to all of you for all that you do .
