Next ASM Hartford Meeting on June 10, 2003
The June meeting will feature Ron Biederman of WPI and a past chairperson presenting a study of failed steel beams from Bldg. 7 at WTC.

he two events of Materials Week were well attended. On Tuesday, April 8th close to four hundred (400) high school students were at
The
New England Air Museum to view the materials used by twelve (12) exhibitors. Many students showed interest by the nature of their questions.
Each bus load of students were greeted and given a brief introductory talk by one of the following ASM member: Martin Blackburn, Jerry Clupper, Arnie Grot, & Jack Woodilla.
In general the event was well received by the students and teachers. Some teachers had given specific assignments to their students, which involved questions to the exhibitors and items at the museum.
The regular meeting on the night of April 10 was well attended by members of both Chapters. Mr. Kane delivered an energetic overview of Project Lead The Way, which is an independently funded national program to establish
