The 3rd Annual President's Night and Awards Ceremony
May 17, 1988
Spring DECUS Symposium in Cincinnati
"Outstanding Contribution by an Individual
"This award is being presented to an individual who has demonstrated leadership
over a period of time on a national level. This may be in terms of national
office held, contributions to DECUS' mission and goals, national
committees/task forces served on, special projects completed, etc.
"Glenn Everhart
Staff Engineering Scientist

people's hands than many computer companies. His library contributions
are staggering: 23 VAX Special Collections; 17 PDP-11 Special Collections;
and 6 submissions to the PRO series. A five foot high stack of magtapes
would contain his individual submissions and collections, but could not
