Newsletter September 2008

Call for Assistance: 100th AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo
Kenneth Doll

We need your help in order to have the best possible display at the big 100th.

First, we need to compile a list of the significant events in the history of industrial oil products. We'd like to know which events the division believes had a major impact on our use of oils. Please send me, or another board member, your contributions and opinions. If possible, include dates and participants in the discovery. Please give extra focus to the time period from 1965-2008.

Second, we also need to put together a showcase which displays the items that represent industrial oil products. If you have an item which you are willing to put on display, please contact me and we can arrange space.

If you can let me know in the next week or so, it would be even more useful.

Thanks in advance for all of the help.
Ken
