Patentel'sReGeiveAwal'dsEarly in June the eighth annual Inventor's Dinner, as it has come to be called, was held

at the Holiday Inn in Fort Washington. About 65 members and guests of the TechnicalDepartment assembled to clink glasses, cut meat, and recognize five of their number towhom patents were issued during 1979. The five were:

Each of those who had beenissued patents, received a Slooaward from the company and,because it was his first patent,Timm Kelly received, in addition,a bronze medallion. The unof-ficial count on Amchem patentsnow stands at 395 issued to 113inventors.

Les Steinbrecher, Director ofResearch and master of cere-monies, introduced the headtable guests (see pictures) as wellas Hans Kowollik, visiting fromHenkel in Diisseldorf (see page7). But Steinbrecher had a sur-prise up his sleeve. He produced 9

JIM THIRSKThe more than 130 people who

gathered at dinner on a late Juneevening to mark the retirement ofJim Thirsk came from almostevery segment in the structure ofAmchem. There were peoplefrom just about every Amblerdepartment of the company, salesmanagers and salesmen fromquite some distance, numerousAmchemers who themselves hadretired, representatives of Am-chem's international licensees,and even two of Amchem's cus-tomers, Bob Morrison, fromAlcan, Kingston, Ontario andJim Paczesny, from Wolverine

more convenient communicationat all hours, and speech afterspeech of humorous but affec-tionate praise for his work, hisdevotion, his friendliness, hisdetermination, and much more.Several of his former associates,supervisors, management, andone of the customers all con-tributed to the portrait of Jim'scareer at Amchem.

Bill Snyder, International, wasa gracious and collected master ofceremonies and he and EdieYoung, also International, hadplanned and managed the affairwith a fine touch. Jim respondedwith modesty, warm appreciation ,

and a flash of the "guts" bywhich most Amchemers knowhim.

Jim had a love affair while heworked here at Amchem and itwas with Alodine. He was in onits early development, helped seeit through some of its dark anduncertain days, perfected some ofits applications (e.g., Roll CoatAlodine), and was known all overthe country and even the world asa fellow who, by the seat of hispants, could control or fix upAlodine in a wide variety ofoperations. It was a matter ofamusement with Jim's colleaguesthat often he alone among Am-chem's technical, marketing, and

sales people could see the lightgold iridescent roll coat Alodineon metal even when coatingweight determinations showedthere was little, if any, present.Some customers continued tobuy the coating if Jim said it wasthere, even if they couldn't see itthemselves.

His full service of 36 years herewas all spent in research, develop-ment, and technical service bothdomestically and internationally.He trained salesmen and techni-cal people and often said he feltthe best thing he ever did for anyof them was to "teach them howto fill out their expense reportsright." No one has ever been ful-ly sure what he meant by"right."

Back when he played golf, hewas a strong and vocal insistor onstrict interpretation of rules andif anyone picked up a ball in play,even on the fairway, he was likelyto hear a bellow of protest fromJim's direction. And to Jim,needling is only one more dimen-sion in the game of golf .

There might be a few Am-chemers who don't know muchabout Jim and a word of explana-tion may help. Jim has hadmuscular dystrophy for manyyears and his friends, in almosthelpless concern, have watchedthe malady gradually reduce hisstrength and mobility. But theycannot fall to have noticed that ithasn't seemed to damage his .willor that of his gallant wife.

GRACE BROWNShe spent 29 years at Amchem, all of it in

the small packaging department before retir-ing at the end of May. She said she had 5bosses during that time and named them inorder: Ralph Mascola, John Horn, Joe Mal-lozzi, John Heckler, and Jim Hall. All butMascola are still at Amchem and GraceBrown, the retireee, says of them that theyare "five good men." Only a week after herretirement she said, with voice low and facepartially averted, that, "I miss the place alot."

But Grace has plans. One of her grand-daughters has long wanted to go to Florida

and Grace will take her. They will visit oneof her sons who lives there. She was retiredonly two days when she got a 3 day baby sit-ting job with 2 other grandchildren. She ex-pects more such stints because Grace has 22grandchildren in all, issuing from a total of10 children.

Her children were heavily involved in cele-brating her retirement. One of her daughtersarranged a party for friends of Grace andone of her sons arranged another party forher family. All 10 children and almost all thegrandchildren were at the latter, includingthe Florida based son, two sons who live inNew Orleans, her 3 local sons, and 4 daugh-ters, all of whom Live in the Ambler area.

DOMINIC CAROTENUTODominic Carotenuto retired at

the end of May after 8 years withAmchem, 9 with Selas Corpora-tion, and 25 with Keasby andMattison. All his time at Am-chem was in the maintenancedepartment and he says he wisheshe had known about Amchemsooner.

It is his intention to "foolaround the house" for a whileand then do a little traveling. Heand his wife, Anna, will visitDominic's brother in Tennesseeand it will be a double reunionbecause Dominic's older brothermarried Anna's older sister. FromTennessee it will be a tour further

around the south.The Carotenuto's have three

sons and 7 grandchildren and areenjoying the company with eachother that retirement provides.They continue to live in the housethey have lived in for 50 years.Most of the house has been builtover the years by Dominic ontothe 2 room building they first ac-quired in 1930. He remembersworking on a farm that year, tenhours a day for ten cents an hourwith lunch thrown in. The farmowner agreed to pay fifteen centsan hour if Carotenuto wouldbring his own lunch, which hedid.

MCHENRY RUSH

MCHenry Rush in the editor's Of:fiice the day before he (Rush) retired.

Another Amchem landmarkretired in early May whenMCHenry Rush hung up his igni-tion keys. MCHenry, in his elevenyears with the company, drovethousands of miles at all hours ofthe day and night, picking up anddelivering packages, messages,and people in the interest of thebusiness. He was literally on callat any time.

Reminiscing on his stay here,MCHenry said that the hardestthing about his job was findingand identifying people he hadnever seen before. But hereported that the only time hedidn't find his man was when theman didn't show up. He recalledan incident meeting someone hedid know. One night at thePhiladelphia alrport, he and LyleSlingluff missed signals and bothspent about 2 hours searchingdifferent terminals for each other.MCHenry finally drove off andLyle went home some other way.Slingluff confirmed the incident,

adding that it was a ralny, miser-able night. Both men laughedabout the mishap but MCHcnrysaid, "I drove home feeling reallylow that night because Lyle is agood guy." Makes one wonderwhat would happen to a guyMCHenry did#'/ think was sogood.

He was stopped by the policeonly once in all his company driv-ing. In Langhorne, Pa. radarpicked him up doing 48 miles perhour in a 40 mile zone and he wasfined. Like most other driverscaught in similar situations,MCHenry says he "didn't think Iwas going that fast."

At their home on Gorgas Lanein Philadelphia, MCHenry andhis wife have a cat and a dog thatare ``like children to us."MCHenry says he has no im-mediate plans in retirement."Give me time to wind down,"

he says, "and then 1'11 decidewhat I'm going to do. For now,1'11 just sleep in the mornings."

A SCOTCH MIXERAmchem's irrepressible Sandy

Wallace and his wife, Kathleen,put together one of the moreunusual 25 year wedding anniver-sary celebrations back in March.As part of their vacation in theBritish Isles, they went back toAberdeen, Scotland, the scene oftheir wedding and reenacted theceremony and the reception.

They exchanged original vowsat a church in Aberdeen and hadheld the reception about 20 milesout of town at the home of San-dy's father's boss. The place isnow a lovely hotel run by thegrandson of the former ownerand it made a delightful reunionspot for the 25 or so family,friends, and participants that hadbeen present at the original occa-sion. Sandy said the affair was"just wonderful." He has about

a zillion pictures of it all to showanyone who asks.
