Good earned numerous accolades during her career, including the National Science Foundation’s highest award, the Vannevar Bush Award; the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Philip Hogue Ableson prize, the first woman to win the prize; and the Heinz Award. She was recently named among the 100 Women Leaders in STEM and awarded the STEM Leadership Award by the U.S. News and World Report in 2012. Good’s national positions included the chairmanship on the National Science Board (1988- 1991), and she was undersecretary for technology under President Clinton.

Howard Heineke, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on October 19, 2018, at age 91. He was a lifetime member of ASM. Heineke attended and graduated from the University of Kentucky where he earned a degree in metallurgical engineering and was a member of Tau Beta Pi. He worked for 35 years as a metallurgical engineer for GE. Prior to GE, he held various management positions in the materials and processes sector. He was skilled at failure analysis and enjoyed using various mechanical testing methods to establish root cause. Stephen Ridder, a longtimemetallurgist andmaterials scientist in NIST’s Material Measure- ment Laboratory, passed away on Oct. 17, 2019 at age 68. Ridder earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Northern Illinois University, and master’s and doctorate degrees in metallurgy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined the Metallurgy Division at NIST in 1980 and in 2009 moved to the Surface and Microanalysis Division, which in 2012 became the Materials Measurement Science Division. Ridder was always generous with his professional time, helping many NIST colleagues develop control systems and software for their experiments. During his tenure in the Metallurgy Division, he served on the management team, first as leader of the Metallurgical Processing Group and later as the deputy division chief. He also served as a critical resource for NIST’s work with other federal agencies, combining his depth of knowledge of metallurgy with a broad scientific curiosity, an awareness of NIST internal operations, and his “get it done” attitude.
