Abstract :
Early in 2004, as part of the planning process for celebrating the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) 50th anniversary, I decided to assemble a collection of photographs from Society events. The collection is not intended to have any profound meaning, but it is simply a way for our members to indulge in their—and others´—memories of past events and people, to impart a sense of where we have been, and perhaps of our future course.
