INFOFLEX has proven to be a tremendous vehicle for FORUM attendees to learn about different technologies in a very friendly and informal atmosphere. Attendees definitely leave knowing more than they did when they came in. In 1982,I was privileged to serve on my first of many FORUM Committees, as the FORUM that year was held in Toronto, where I lived. I was by far the youngest member of that committee that included some flexographic legends like Doug Tuttle, Charles Aboud and Gerry Fleury (chair). In fact, I may very well be one of the only people on that panel still on this side of the grass. George Parisi, then FTA's executive director and an eventual Hall of Fame member, surprised us one meeting and told us that we were going to have a tabletop exhibit as part of the FORUM- the first one ever! It would be chaired by Gerry Shields, another flexographic legend. Most of us were dead set against it, feeling that we were crossing the non-commercial boundary we always had as an organization. Boy were- we ever wrong!
