Lemon Award ceremony in Corvallis on May 10, 1991. The E. B. Lemon Distin guished Alumni Award was estab lished by the OSU Alumni Associa tion in 1981 in acknowledgment of and in tribute to this remarkable man's devotion and contributions to Oregon State University and the state of Oregon.

Norm has an EdD, Rich an MD,and Ray a DMD. Now, whatever happened to the four Retries? (For pictures of alumni in attend ance, please see the enclosed dues form.)
