Frank Anderson was the lead structural engineer on the Bell SKMR-1 Air Cushion Vehicle that revolutionized amphibious warfare in the U.S. Navy.

Fran Bainbridge was the heart and soul of the Aero Club of Buffalo, the oldest in the U.S. and second oldest in the world, which may not have survived without her efforts.

Dave Feld was technical director and then program manager for the Bell Lunar Module Ascent Engine, which had to work – if it failed the astronauts would have been stranded on the Moon.

Bob Keim led the optical design at Kodak for highly classified spy satellites – above top secret –which to this day still hold the record for the highest resolution film images ever taken of the earth.

Bob Kinzly’s work at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory and SciPar, the company he founded, developed low visibility paint schemes to reduce the visual signature of U.S. military aircraft.

Dr. John Lordi’s innovative contributions across the aerospace sciences at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, Calspan, and CUBRC has been critical to major national aerospace program initiatives.

John Shafer led efforts in optical measurement at Kodak that enabled the testing of state of the art optical components and assemblies key to highly classified spy satellites.

Jack Williams’ technical leadership during a thirty-six year career at Moog led to actuation systems for tactical and strategic missiles and space launch vehicles, including the Space Shuttle.
