Abstract :
IT IS a great privilege and an honor to receive the Lamme Medal, and I am very grateful. Its importance is emphasized by the accomplishments of the men who have received this award in the past. To be included in this group makes me both proud and humble. Although the award is made to me as an individual, the work on which it is based would not have been possible without the help and co-operation of many people. It was my good fortune to have been associated with an organization which provided both opportunity and support. In accepting the medal, I wish to acknowledge the help of my associates who, over the years, have been a continuing source of encouragement and assistance.
