| Abstract |
|
The 14th CHEMED Conference opened Sunday evening, August 1, at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut just as a cold front arrived, as if on cue, breaking a four-week heat wave. The conference began with a procession of Scottish bagpipers, flags of the 14 countries represented at the conference, the new CHEMED Flag, and 109 periodic table banners of the elements carried by the Trumbull High School Marching Band, all followed by members of the National Mole Day Foundation in full mole costumes. Rhonda Reist of Olathe North High School served as a witty master of ceremonies. Babu George, the general chairman, welcomed the conferees. Awards were then presented to sponsors: gold awards to Educational Innovations for its sponsorship of the Saturday evening mixer and to Carolina Biological for the Tuesday evening safety lecture and reception; a platinum award to Flinn Scientific for its generous support over the years. Signature Demonstrations opened the program and were presented by some of our best: Geri Blomquist, Al Delfiner, John Fortman, George Hague, Bob Lewis, John Moore, Walter Rohr, Jerry Sarquis, and Penney Sconzo. The evening closed with a reception honoring Lew Brubacher for his many years of service as editor of Chem 13 News.
