I thank the four distinguished individuals who have served as chairs of the WSTB since 1982: Walter Lynn, 1982-1985; John Boland, 1985-1988; Mike Kavanaugh, 1988-1991; and Dan Okun, 1991 to the present. The chairs, board members, and committee members have helped make the program of the Water Science and Technology Board noted and respected, and they deserve much praise for volunteering their time and varied expertise to the board's program.
