Bill R. Appleton Receives 1995 Woody Award Bill R. Appleton of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently received the 1995 Woody Award "in recognition of outstanding service and dedication, on behalf of MRS, as exemplified by Woody White as president in 1984." Outgoing MRS president Julia Phillips presented the award during the 1995 MRS Fall Meeting Council Dinner on December 1,1995. Appleton's previous MRS involvement includes service as a meeting chair in 1983, as second vice-president in 1984, and as a three-time councillor with terms beginning in 1985,1988, and 1993. He has also been a member of the Public Affairs, External Affairs, Long-Range Planning, and Program Committees, as well as being active in the International Union of Materials Research Societies. "On many occasions Bill Appleton has made the right connections to greatly strengthen the society's public affairs efforts," said Tom Picraux, chair of the MRS Public Affairs Committee. Picraux cited Appleton as a key force in connecting MRS to the national Advanced Materials and Processing Program in the late 1980s, which "raised MRS to a new level of national visibility."

Woody White, the award's namesake, spoke highly of Appleton's MRS involvement, "At ORNL he has encouraged others to become active in the society. My own participation in MRS would not have been possible without his support and encouragement while I was a member of his group at ORNL." Appleton is vice president of Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corporation and associate laboratory director for advanced materials, physical, and neutron sciences at ORNL where he manages the Chemical and Analytical Sciences, Metals and Ceramics, Physics, Research Reactors, and Solid State divisions, and the Neutron Sciences Program. His work has focused on fundamental research in the use of ion-beam and laser processing Bill R. Appleton techniques for surface modification of materials, and on fundamental studies of ion-solid interactions. While chair of the Solid State Sciences Committee, which coordinated the National Commenting on his long-time service Research Council study Materials Science and to MRS, Appleton said, "The Materials Engineeringfor the 1990s, Appleton served as Research Society has responded to a scidesignated editor of the MRS publication entific need, which is one of the reasons Communications on the Materials Science and why it has done so well. I have thoroughEngineering Study. This book provided input ly enjoyed seeing it grow to become such to the NRC study from MRS members and an effective organization." meeting attendees.
