Recognition Night is a time for the Section to celebrate our members, award winners, and past officers who make the Section so successful and vibrant. Many past officers of the Section were in attendance, and the program included the list of those who have served, going all the way back to 1908!
This year, we honored not only our 50 and 60 year members of ACS, but also included two 70 year members! What an accomplishment.
The 50, 60 and 70 years members in attendance. From left to right:
David White, Rudolph Winter, Jake Schaefer (back row), Franklin Mange, Marty Rhine, Al Hortman, Jerry Dutra
2017 Chair Natalie LaFranzo honored Vic Lewchenko with the 2016 Distinguished Service Award, recognizing his contributions as Section Treasurer and Photographer for a number of years.

Finally, Natalie LaFranzo acknowledged and thanked Joe Ackerman for his contributions as Chair of the Section in 2016. Joe then provided the evening’s entertainment, with an engaging story of an UN-murder mystery, complete with a villain, a victim, and NMR spectra.
