Reflections on Al Rubenstein

Professor Albert H. Rubenstein has been Editor of the ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT TRANSACTIONS OF THE IRE and starting in 1963, the IEEE since 1958. In 1983 when I was President of the Engineering Management Society (EMS), Al informed me that 25 years as editor was sufficient, and that we should start the search for his successor. With his guidance we completed that search in 1984. He will officially retire as editor at the end of 1985.
