June is al ways jam packedwith oc ca sions and mile -stones…. And this June is nodif fer ent! We will be cel e -brat ing the launch of newgrad u ates and the ac com -plish ments of a pro fes sionallife time with our 50-YearMem bers and I would like toex tend our heart i est con grat u -la tions to both groups!! Cur -rent ACS Pres i dent, Dr.Jo seph S. Fran cisco, will bepre sent ing cer tif i cates to our50-Year Mem bers to marktheir mile stone.
Mo ments like these make mecon scious of the pas sage oftime. I would like to asksome of our 50-Year Mem -bers what they en vi sioned the fu ture to look like and whatcon tri bu tions they wanted tomake in their ca reers and seehow many of their am bi tionsare re al ized in the out -comes… I could pose thesame ques tions to our fledg -ling mem bers. How aboutmak ing some pre dic tions forme? It could be come a newPhil a del phia Sec tion tra di tion —re cord ing the pre dic tionsand then “open ing the time
cap sule” to re visit them when the Class of 2010 reaches its’50th an ni ver sary in 2060.
It is al ways amaz ing, to me,how sci ence fic tion can be -come sci ence re al ity and how in spi ra tion and in no va tioncan lead to things that change our way of life. We owe a lotto our ed u ca tors who un self -ishly give that in spi ra tion and en cour age ment to their stu -dents ev ery day and we wereproud to rec og nize such aned u ca tor last month in Dr.Sally Mallory, our Un der -grad u ate Teach ing Awardwin ner! Teach ing is hardwork that too of ten goes un -ac knowl edged and un derap -pre ci ated in our so ci etywhere sports fig ures com -mand stag ger ing sal a ries dur -ing their lim ited ca reers. Re search sci en tists may notset re cords but they do leavelast ing leg a cies to all of us.
Thomas Ed i son said thatmost ac com plish ments arethe re sult of a lot of hardwork but I have to ad mit thatit would be “cool” to seemore sci ence fic tion turnedinto sci ence re al ity…. Justlike the “new el e ment” TonyStark hap pened to whip up inthe new Iron Man 2 movie! Makes me want to head down to the base ment and start tin -ker ing myself!
I want to have a front rowseat for all the life chang ingdis cov er ies to come… be -cause at heart, I am al waysgo ing to be a sci en tific thrillseeker!
Have a Happy/Safe Sum merand come back re-en er gizedand ready to tackle our newac tiv i ties in Sep tem ber!

HON OR ING OUR 50-YEAR MEMBERSAt our June Sec tion meet ing, we honor our 50-year mem bers, pre sent ing them with a cer tif i cate and lun cheon at the Mc Call Meet ing and Con fer ence Cen ter in rec og ni tion of their long andfaith ful ser vice to the So ci ety. Those be ing hon ored in clude the fol low ing:
DR. WIL LIAM H.BRENDLEY, JR.
Dr. Brend-ley at tendedSaint Jo -seph’s Uni -ver sity on an a c a d e m i cschol ar shipwhere he
ma jored in chem is try and let -tered as a sec ond base man onthe var sity base ball team. Bill pur sued his Mas ter’s de greein Radiochemistry at SaintJoe’s and his PhD in Phys i calChem is try from the Uni ver -sity of Penn syl va nia in 1965.
Bill’s pro fes sional in dus trialca reer of 33 years was withRohm and Haas where heheld in creas ing man a ge rial re -spon si bil i ties first in re search(De part ment Man ager) and inbusi ness (Busi ness Di rec tor of Spe cialty Purifications). Billlec tured at var i ous uni ver si -ties and ACS Section meet -ings on poly meric coat ingsand was also a re cip i ent of the Roon Award for his re searchon aque ous coil coat ings.
Upon re tire ment from Rohmand Haas, Bill pur sued hispas sion for teach ing and re -
search at Phil a del phia Uni ver -sity where he taught, pur suedre search, and be came Dean of the School of Sci ence andHealth for five years, re tir ingas Dean Emer i tus.
Dur ing his in dus trial and ac a -demic ca reers, he pub lishedpeer-re viewed pa pers in a va -ri ety of re search in ter ests in 5de cades and has 18 pat ents.
He con tin ued his learn ing in -ter ests with Mas ter’s andDoc tor ate de grees in The ol -ogy from Trin ity Theo log i calSem i nary and is now an or -dained min is ter in the Prim i -tive Meth od ist De nom i na tionand also Pres i dent of theirSchool of The ol ogy.
Pres ently, he spends his “free” time tu tor ing chem is try, mod -er at ing the Sci ence Club, andcoach ing the fresh man bas ket -ball team at Gwynedd MercyAcad emy High School.
He and his wife, Yvonne,have been mar ried for 43years, have two chil dren andfive grand chil dren, and con -tinue to re side in Hatboro.

ci ety, and their years ofmem ber ship and ser vice inACS!
Rather than re flect on my ca -reer, I want to rec og nize those who helped me on the way. Iam in debt to more peo plethan I can enu mer ate, butsome in par tic u lar stand out. My par ents gave me my firstchem is try set. The oc ca sion -ally dis tress ing odors em a nat -ing from our base ment musthave made them ques tiontheir judg ment, but they never ob jected.
Bill Kehl, my Chem is tryteacher at Up per Darby H.S.,deep ened my in ter est. With -out the en cour age ment ofFred er ick Rossini, an em i nent chem ist and fa ther of a col -lege class mate, I never wouldhave ap plied to Berke ley,where I re ceived my PhD.

My grad u ate ad vi sor JimCason and my post doc toralad vi sor at Co lum bia, GilbertStork, made my ca reerpos si ble.
I started at Rohm and Haas asa re search chem ist and re tiredas man ager of tech ni cal re -cruit ing and uni ver sity re la -tions for our US sites—quitean in ter est ing ca reer. It would not have hap pened with outthe strong sup port, from thebe gin ning, of peo ple likeEllington Bea vers, PatMcNulty, Bob Ross and FredWil son, among oth ers. Later,thanks to the firm com mit -ment of our tech ni cal man ag -ers and the gen er ous work ofour vol un teer re cruit ers (allen gi neers and sci en tists), ourre cruit ing pro grams be camena tion ally re spected for qual -ity, in teg rity and suc cess.
The Phil a del phia Sec tion hasbeen a warm and col le gial or -ga ni za tion for me. I joined in1966 and chaired it in 1990. I learned a lot from Glenn andBarbara Ullyot and Mad eleine Joullié, and en joyed work ingwith our Sec tion’s ca pa ble ad -min is tra tive man ag ers, Shir -ley Golden and her suc ces sorLibby Harper. As an ACSCoun cilor in the 1990s, Ibene fited from NewmanBortnick’s coun sel. Later, asan ACS Board mem ber, PaulAn der son and Hank Whalenwere quite help ful to me. As
Board Chair, I was for tu nateto work with a tal ented, ded i -cated, de light ful team. Thechem i cal sci ences are in deeda so cial en ter prise, and weowe our suc cess to many.
I am grate ful to God for themany op por tu ni ties to con trib -ute. I must also thank mywife Barbara for her re mark -able pa tience and tol er ance,al though she some times won -dered whether “ACS” was the ini tials of The Other Woman.

Af ter a post-doc at Kan sasUni ver sity, Dr. Leigh be ganhis pro fes sional ca reer teach -ing at Villanova Uni ver sity,where he met and mar riedHilde Wag ner.
In 1966 the Leigh fam ilymoved to Corn ing, NY, where Dr. Leigh su per vised an an a -lyt i cal group in glass chem is -try. In 1975 the Leighs wereback in southeastern PA,where Dr. Leigh man aged au -to mo tive cat a lyst and re search groups at Matthey Bishop. Up per man age ment and na -tional eco nomic up heav als in1983 re sulted in Dr. Leigh’stem po rary re turn to ac a de miaat U. Pitt-Johnstown. In 1985, with that re ces sion over, Dr.Leigh took a po si tion, againin glass anal y sis, with theCertainTeed Corp. (Blue Bell, PA), from which he re tired in1998.
Dr. Leigh vol un teers at theHag ley Mu seum in Wilming-ton, and for many years DJ’da clas si cal mu sic pro gram onthe West Ches ter Universitysta tion. He also meets forlunch bi-monthly with his for -mer col leagues from Villa-nova and Matthey Bishop,and an nu ally with his friendsat Cer tain Teed at their hol i -day party.
DR. MARINUS LOSA l t h o u g hborn in theNeth er lands,I re ceived my for mal ed u -ca tion inBrit ain; highschool at a
school founded in 700 inYork shire and col lege at Ed in -burgh Uni ver sity in Scot landwhere I grad u ated with a 1st
Class Hon ours BSc in chem is -try and a PhD in or ganicchem is try. I con tin ued my ed -u ca tion with a two-year Post -doc toral Fel low ship at theNa tional Re search Coun cil inOt tawa, Can ada work ing onthe struc ture of a nat u ral prod -uct. For me, this was an ex -hil a rat ing time do ing struc ture de ter mi na tion as op posed tosyn the sis, the sub ject of myPhD the sis.
Apart from one year (1970)spent as a Se nior Re searchFel low in the Phar ma col ogy
De part ment at Ed in burghUni ver sity work ing on prosta- glandins, I worked for 35years at the now non-ex istentAmer i can Cy an a mid Com -pany in their Ag ri cul tural Di -vi sion. Those were won der fulyears in a vi brant or ga ni za -tion. I should add that suc cess cer tainly helped to make itso!! This suc cess was the dis -cov ery of the imidazolinoneher bi cides, a new po tent classwhich in hib ited an en zyme in -volved in the biosynthesis ofvaline and isoleucine. It wasthis dis cov ery that brought me a num ber of awards: In ven torof 1990 (In tel lec tual Prop ertyOwn ers), Achieve ment Award (In dus trial Re search In sti tute)1994 and sev eral ACSAwards (Perkin Medal 1994,Cre ative In ven tion 1995 andHeroes of Chem is try, 1999).But the most mem o ra ble of all the awards was the Na tionalMedal of Tech nol ogy pre -sented in 1993 by Pres i dentClinton in a won der ful cer e -mony held in the Rose Gar den at the White House in front of my whole fam ily. What athrill.
