READYREFERENCE |AWARDS&HONORS PAST AWARDS ACHIEVEMENT AWARD The purpose of the ASNT Achievement Award was to encourage a high degree of effort toward technical, educa- tional, or managerial achievement in NDT and the reporting of such achievements through ASNT publications. The ASNT Achievement Award was presented to a person or persons for a manuscript which was published in an official ASNT journal and which was an outstanding contribution to the advance- ment of NDT. Recipients of the award were selected on the merit of written contributions published by the Society during the period of January through December of the preceding year. Selection was based on originality, technical accuracy of supporting data, practical usefulness of the contribution, and completeness of the data presented. The author or authors of no more than two such publications were selected for the award in a given year. The award was presented to the recipi- ent(s) during the Annual Conference. The committee had the privilege of not conferring the award if it decided that no paper qualified for the award in a given year. The award was replaced by two Outstanding Paper Awards. 1965 Richard B. Socky 1966 Donald R. Green 1967 Harold Berger 1968 John E. Jacobs 1969 Ron J. Botsco 1970 Ralph M. Grant and Gordon M.
