Retirement of Dr F.M. Enrsberger
Retirement of Dr F.M. Ernsberger
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids was founded in December, 1968 and has now become the leading international scientific publication on glasses and other non-crystalline solids. Without the staunch support in 1968 of a small group of internationally renowned glass scientists who subsequently became its regional editors, the Journal could not have been launched. Nor could it have grown and helped to foster the growth of glass science in the past fifteen years without the continuing support of its regional editors and its advisory editorial board. Dr. F.M. Ernsberger personally participated in many early discussions involving the planning of the Journal, supported its establishment and became one of our first regional editors in 1968. For fifteen years he has continued to participate in many editorial tasks so necessary for the publication of a leading scientific journal. Throughout his continuous association he has contributed not only many many hours of his time in editorial affairs but has also, in numerous instances, rendered valuable advice to the editor. The prestige of the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids has also been much enhanced through the association of Fred Ernsberger. Dr. Ernsberger sought early retirement from PPG Industries, Inc. in 1982. He has had a remarkably successful career at the Company's Glass Research Center where he had become the first Senior Scientist. Fred Ernsberger is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and received its Frank Forrest Award in 1964, the Toledo Glass and Ceramic Award in 1970 and the George Morey Award in 1974. He was the Orton Lecturer of the American Ceramic Society in 1983. He has made major contributions to our understanding of the strength of glasses and the behavior of protons in glass. Despite his retirement from PPG Industries, Inc., Fred graciously agreed to continue as Regional Editor in the past year. It has been an unfair burden on him. Reluctantly, we must let Dr. Ernsberger retire from his regional editorship. The publishers and I would like to express our deepest appreciation for all Dr. Ernsberger has done for the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids. We wish him and Mrs. Ernsberger many more years of happiness in the future.
