AnnualMulrooneymemorial award presented

I EROY C. McCORMICK, Simp- bson Timber Co., Seattle, Wa., was presented with the John J. Mulrooney Memorial Award at the 89th annual meeting of North American Wholesale Lumber Association, held at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, W.V., in recognition of his many contributions to the forest industry.

The award is intended to honor both the recipient and the late John J. Mulrooney, executive v.p. of NAWLA for nearly 20 years. Mulrooney is remembered as an industry leader dedicated to upholding integrity and high standards in the buying and selling of forest products.

A hand carved eagle, symbolizing the award, was presented by NAWLA president Paul McCracken at the President's Banquet. Worked from a solid block of redwood, the presentation this year is particularly appropriate in view of his years of involvement with the California Redwood Association, where he spent two years on the grading committee, as well as with the National Forest Products Association.

He has been active with the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau and was chairman of the Western Wood Products Association's quality standards committee when common grading standards were established under the National Grading Rules program.

An active supporter of NAWLA for over 30 years, including two years as co-chairman of the association's Intra-Industry Committee, McCormick graduated from the University of California with a B.S. degree in Business Administration
