Abstract:
It is both an honor and a pleasure for me to comment at
this Symposium honoring the work and influence of
professor Edward Zukoski, of Cal Tech. I first met the
good professor in Tokyo at my first UJNR meeting in May
fo 1982. I have experienced the influence of Professor
Zukoski in a number of modes - as a keen researcher and
superb experimentalist: as a source of technical
inspiration; as a backer and supporter of the cause of
fire research in the nation; as warm, caring person and
good humored friend; and even as a prod when in his
judgment, I, as a relative newcomer to fire research
management, have needed his "guidance".
