Hydronics contractor-teacher-writer
Mark
Eatherton was named the latest winner of the Carlson-Holohan Award of
Excellence. Awarded every other year and co-sponsored by
PM,
this “traveling” award recognizes an outstanding industry volunteer who
contributes to the education of others, raises funds for industry events, and
provides mentorship to youth who have made career choices to be in the
hydronics and steam business. These characteristics are a reflection of the
values and legacy established by the late
Gil
Carlson and carried forward by
PM columnist
Dan Holohan.
The recipient becomes the custodian of Carlson’s
original Bell & Gossett System Syzer for a two-year period. While in his or
her possession, the winner — through industry activities — is obliged to share
the story of Carlson’s invention. Each new holder also must make some
investment to protect the originality and physical condition of the tool so that
its life journey and message is preserved for all generations to see.
This year’s award was presented at “Wetstock 08,”
Holohan’s networking event held in Denver on April 12.
