T his summer saw the sad passing of Ed Kubel, ASM member, retired staff person, former chief editor of AM&P, and most recently, a contributing editor to this publication and several ASM handbooks. He was a dear col- league, mentor, and friend. For more than 20 years, Ed pos- itively impacted the content development of ASM’s maga- zines, technical books, andconferences. For aglimpse intohis accomplishments, see the “InMemoriam” page of ASMNews . In his last AM&P editorial in May 2013, Ed stated, “One of the things I will miss most is dealing with authors from all over the world to bring the results of their work to the attention of the readers of AM&P and the engineering community in general.” Like Ed, I enjoy working with our wide array of authors. I also relish connect- ing like-minded members. An obvious opportunity came to mind while working on this issue. I made introductions via email between James Churchill, author of the “His- toric Monel” article, and Donald Tillack, featured in our “Members in the News” section for receiving an American Welding Society award. Tillack is an ASM Fel- low who developed the composition of bare wire Monel Filler Metal 60 back in the 1960s. To my delight, both gentlemen were eager to communicate with each other and quickly started dropping names of who each knew in the industry. De- spite being at opposite ends of the career spectrum, their shared enthusiasm for the topic created a new professional weld. These types of connections seem to happen organically at technical events. However, even without the in-person networking events of IMAT 2020, there are many other opportunities to grow these vital connections that help individuals develop professionally and advance technical research in key areas. First, visit the ASM website for details on the new event, IMAT: The Virtual Edition, October 26-28, which will offer previews of 2021 technical content. In addition to technical sessions, there will be multiple ways to network with global attendees via live chats, online messaging, a virtual exhibit hall, digital confer- ence lounge, andmore. Take advantage of this unique way to keep up with indus- try trends and continue to build your professional network. Second, members now have the benefit of a robust networking platform in ASM Connect. In an article in this issue, “Residual Stress: Both Friend and Foe,” Dave Furrer, FASM, describes how ASM Connect is being used to draw members together into technical communities. Just completing his year as ASM’s immedi- ate past president, Furrer explains how the topic of residual stress was used to pilot the first official ASM Technical Committee. He invites members to join that committee or propose the formation of others around specific technical areas. Likewise, Ray Fryan, in his article on the development of ASM’s data ecosys- tem on page 58, is leveraging ASM Connect to gather members with a passion for materials data to join in advancing this important society initiative. Ed Kubel’s pastime was golf, perennially considered the ultimate network- ing sport. Ed signed off his last editorial this way, “It will be odd not having dead- lines looming and content to produce, but it should make golfing that much more enjoyable.” Ed, I hope you’re making some good connections up there. joanne.miller@asminternational.org MAKING CONNECTIONS
