Past MacDiarmid Award ceremony in 1986!
Dr. Richard "Dick" Gilman congratulating Brian Koehler (left) and Mike Farrell, co-winners of the MacDiarmid award in 1986. Professor Gilman was chair of the department from 1975 to 1986. This picture, published originally in the Dunkirk Evening Observer, shows a fairly sparse distribution of name plates compared to the current situation. We have filled up the original plaque, and are starting on a new, auxilary plaque (See John Kroon photo below).
