A Friend As we go on in our daily lives, we must stop and count
our blessings and acknowledge our frailties. With the untimely
passing of Robert Noberini, I must say that the loss
has made me realize the importance of a good friend, colleague
and cohort in meeting life’s challenges. I knew Bob for over 37
years as a coworker at Con Edison and on many IEEE platforms. His
character and demeanor attracted others to him. His sense of humor
and ability to laugh at himself and others endeared him to
many.
Bob was a dedicated and hard worker for IEEE. He was involved
with technical committees, PACE, PES and New York Section
activities, IEEE-USA and RAB. His energy and desire to help serve
the goals of IEEE inspired many to follow his example. When I went
to the Region 1 Winter Meeting in Newark, NJ in February, we all
anxiously awaited Bob’s arrival. We did not know that he had been
taken to the hospital and the seriousness of his illness. I feel a
great loss of a remarkable friend and person and hope that his
presence helps us all appreciate each other a little bit more!
Sincerely, Benjamin Schall
Chairman’s Column
RECRUITING AND RETAINING VOLUNTEERS, PART XI
What volunteers need: a safe, comfortable, and friendly working
environment*.” This is especially true of meetings held in urban
area. Volunteers may not return if there is insufficient parking,
expensive parking fees and/or poorly lit parking areas. Meeting
notices should contain the address of the meeting place and a
telephone number (cell phone) of someone who will be attending and
knows the area.
Some other items to consider:
• Availability of heating or air conditioning on evenings and
weekends • Smoke free environment • Adequate, comfortable seating •
Name tags, if new people will be attending • Provide
refreshments
Careful planning will ensure that volunteers feel that they are
welcome and valuable members of the team. In addition, it will give
them a positive image of the organization.

It is with deep sadness and regret to inform you that our
beloved friend and associate passed away this morning at 2:00 am
after along battle with brain cancer. Bob was a great man and
friend. I know that he has moved on to a better place, but will be
dearly missed by all of us. In putting together this distribution
list I didn't realize how many people were touched by Bob and his
great spirit. Even though Bob has left us I know that his spirit
will live on and he will be smiling down on us and watching over us
as we travel along on the rest of our life's journey.Funeral
arrangements have not been finalized but it appears thatthe service
will be on Friday. I've attached some pictures of Bob so that you
can all remember him as we knew and loved him. Please remember
Bob's family in your prayers.God bless Bob Noberini!Regards,Bob
Pellegrino
I made this graphic up from a picture of Bob...thought I'd share
it with you allNancy Calasso
Bob et al,This is very sad news, and I will miss him.Bob was a
short man, as I am. So we used to tell people that we always see
things eye-to-eye.He was like a relative of mine. Bob used to say
that we are members of the same "mishpoha", using the Jewish
Yiddish/Hebrew word for family. And this is exactly how I felt
about himBob inherited from his father's side of the family the
traditional Italian singing voice, and fromhis Irish mother the
love for Irish songs. I remember an event where Bob and I attended
a dinner,and Bob started singing the well known Irish songs -he was
great.Because I am now in Florida, I could not visit Bob in the
hospital or see him during his illness.I regretted this. But maybe
this too is for the good, because this way I can only remember him
ashe truly was - a wonderful member of my "Mishpoha" as he was of
others. If there is a heaven, as many of us believe, than we know
Bob's new address. May his memory be a blessing for us all.Irv
Engelson
I will remember him all my life. I met him when we were both at
Ford Instruments (Sperry Rand) in Long Island City. He was a most
knowledgeable historian. It’s a deep loss.Serge Kalinowsky
I would like to thank all of you who "thanked me" for keeping
them informed of Bob's condition throughout his ordeal with brain
cancer. It was very difficult to write about Bob, whom I consider
one of my best friends and a member of my family, but I knew that
Bob had many friends who felt the same way and were very interested
in his well being. I'd like to thank you all for your prayers and
well wishes for Bob. I know that it helped Bob and comforted him in
the greatest battle of his life.Bob is probably trying to set up a
Civil War Club and IEEE Angel Club in heaven as I write this. We
love you Bob and will miss you very much!Best Regards,Bob
Pellegrino
Hello Friends and Family of Bob Noberini:I wanted to let you
know that Jerry Sager and Judith Kane are hosting a "Celebration of
Life" Memorial Service to honor Bob Noberini. We will have a
Memorial Service to honor Bob to start promptly at 12 Noon and then
we shall go downstairs for a buffet lunch and drinks - and, to
celebrate the life of Bob Noberini.One favor I would like to ask -
whether you can attend or not. I am looking for stories about Bob
Noberini. Please e-mail me one, or more stories if you like, about
a humorous situation you encountered with Bob. If not humorous,
then a sensitive moment will also do. Keep the story as short or as
long as you like.Send your story to my
e-mail:[email protected]: Jack FinkelsteinFax:
212-423-0404

Emails from friends in memory.

By the time you read this it should be all over except for the
counting.
I published a feweditorials on the election and I thought you
might be interested in some of the comments.
I agree with your sentiments, and remember, back in the late
'60s or early '70's, when the North Jersey Section Editor got
blasted for a full page editorial about protecting and defending
the Flag of the United States Of America, "Old Glory", around the
time of Anti-Viet Nam flag burning. The Section backed him up, but
he got a lot of flack for his opinions. I don't remember if he
resigned as a result, but he was very surprised by the negative
reactions that he had gotten on the topic.I am astounded that a
person outside our region can censor opinions of members of this
section. We have published political articles in the past. During
the big struggles before IEEE_USA as formed many articles on the
immigration policy concerning engineers (some seeming racist) and
government policy were published.I find it disgraceful that your
position could be censored. If someone disagrees let them
contribute their own article.
In a message dated 9/18/2004 8:07:20 AM Central Daylight Time,
Bob Johnson writes:Many of the professions, teaching, legal often
take a stance during elections. Various groups are quite vocal in
their endorsements of candidates. Other groups let it be know of
their opposition to candidates.Then there are the
EnginNERDS............. They keep quiet!, not expressing their
opinions during election season. Few Engineering Societies (I'll
let you figure out which ones) don't even bother to discuss the
various issues that might affect engineering, technology,
science.Just what have you seen from the various Engineering
(technical) associations in the coming election??Many of you (on
list list) may not be aware of a publication ENR == Engineering
News Record Check out this page... The Unions have somewhat weighed
in on the coming election as posted in the Engineering/Construction
publication. Bet you won't find any statement from engineering
societies.

Interesting editorial in October monthly. However issues
directly relevant to electrical engineers as like the blackout,
energy initiatives, homeland security, and outsourcing are lost in
a blizzard of 41 items. Moreover while you have real expertise to
discuss the blackout, it's lost when its in same list as women's
right to choose. Perhaps as editor you can identify specific issues
of concern to engineers and solicit/write a one pager on each and
put one in each monitor.

2004 Fall Outing Dear Friends,
Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the
New York City Subway System On Friday, September 10, 2004,
forty-nine PES / IAS volunteers of the New York Chapter joined me
at the annual Fall Outing at Krucker’s for an elegant outing
complete with fabulous food and drinks and a wonderful sunny day of
activities, friendship, and networking, by the members of the Power
Engineering Society celebrating out 6th Outstanding Chapter
Award.
Alan Osborne and Roland Dixon
From start to finish the afternoon and evening was special.
During the day, I had the pleasure of playing volley ball with a
team – primary members of long standing, where we were able to step
back in time and enjoy those activities that created a small
portion of the glory of being a member and actively participating
in programmed activities.
Peter Greco – PACE Chair
Later in the afternoon, after dessert was served and everyone
was enjoying the afterglow, we were further entertained by
distribution of mementoes and first-hand accounts of programs and
events that have characterized our organization over many decades.
Every story had one thing in common: deep dedication and support.
Over the past number of years, the PES / IAS has become a part of
many people’s personal history and this is why I am especially
proud to be a part of its future.
Volley Ball at its Best
We have received many Chapter Awards from the PES / IAS Society
in recognition of our programming and activities. We have a great
programming committee and a technical discussion group that fight
for the best speakers available. The programs of both are excellent
and well attended. Upgrades in other areas are in progress and
speakers from many disciplines are now requesting programming
time.

The painstaking work of orchestrating these activities is behind
us, the decorative trim is in place, as are the embellishments that
were the signature details for a well run organization.
Michael Miller and Alan Osborne
Today you can better imagine what this magnificent Chapter will
be like with banners displayed and members actively engaged. By
this time next year the I hope to see many new faces actively
participating and enjoying the benefits of membership.
Your Welcome to Climb Aboard
In closing, I must acknowledge the work of Paul Sartori,
Chairman of the Related Activities Committee and the members of his
committee: Without a doubt, it was one of our most successful
Outings to date. With more programs scheduled, and more to be added
during the year, the
PES / IAS has reached new programmatic heights. Among the
Everyone Enjoying a Good Meal
highlights are the opportunity to present an eclectic series of
Technical Meetings
Michael Miller Mel Olken Alan Osborne
Bob Dent featuring speakers on industry related applications and
an expanded
Bill Coyne and Paul Sartori
programming of other activities. I look forward to seeing you
again and again at each and every meeting. Best Regards.

In Memoriam..……Bob Noberini (1938-2004) Robert P. Noberini, age
66, passed away on 15 September 2004 after a lengthy struggle with
brain cancer. Bob, a registered professional engineer, received the
BSEE from Fairleigh Dickinson University in1965. He joined
Consolidated Edison Company that year and retired in 2003 as
Principal Engineer, Research and Development Department,
responsible for managing the Technology Transfer Program for the
company's R&D portfolio. His 33-year career at Con Edison has
been varied, and including positions as Operator of the Company's
High Current Test Laboratory, where he conducted qualification
testing on electric distribution equipment. Bob also worked in the
Electrical Engineering and Construction Departments, and was an
Instruments and Controls Engineer at Con Edison’s Indian Point
Nuclear Generating Station. For seven years following, he was
Senior Quality Assurance Engineer responsible for modifications and
inspections at Indian Point. Prior to joining Con Edison, he was
employed by Ford Instrument Company, where he was responsible for
testing inertial guidance system components and functional testing
of airborne navigation/fire control system computers. Bob was a
Senior Member of IEEE and a committed volunteer. He served on the
1986-88 PES Governing Board as Public Affairs Council Chair and was
the Society’s PACE Coordinator in 1982-86 and again in 1997-98. He
was active in IEEE Regional Activities and served on the RAB Board
from 1992-94 during which period he acted as the Program Chair for
the 1993 Sections Congress. In addition, he had a long-term
relationship with many aspects of IEEE-USA and PACE activities and,
at the time of his death, was vice chair of the New York IEEE
Section. Bob leaves behind family and a legion of friends both
within IEEE and in the many other fields of activity that were so
precious to him. His sunny disposition, enthusiasm, and optimism
will be both long remembered and deeply missed.

Awards Dinner Dance Saturday night, February 21, 2004 – Oh what
a night! We entered the Hilton Hotel and Towers at Rockefeller
Center, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, NYC.
It was like walking into a swank club, our recollections were of
the good times. Cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres were served in the
elegant ballroom room. For many New Yorks the Hilton has been the
place in New York where people of influence and savvy gathered to
lay the groundwork for various civic projects, organize social and
philanthropic undertakings, and enjoy camaraderie and fellowship.
What more fitting place is there to hold the IEEE New York Section
Awards Dinner Dance? This year we honored eleven fellows:
David Weiss – Roger Sullivan – Ben Schall
David Horn – Roger Sullivan – Ben Schall After the ceremony and
a dinner that
included lobster bisque, filet mignon, grilled atlantic salmon
we danced to the music of the the New Horizon
Orchestra till the evening passed in complete harmony with the

YOU ARE INVITED TO A JOINT MEETING of the IEEE with Edison
Engineering Society
PRESENTING: The GP7200 Jet Engine
As Developed by GE & Pratt–Whitney Engine Alliance Tuesday,
November 9, 2004
Craig R. Bolt, of Pratt & Whitney, will talk about the new,
clean, fuel efficient, and quietest jet engine in its class. It was
jointly developed by GE & Pratt-Whitney. Rated at 81,500 lb of
thrust, while generating less noise than the 747 with a 30-50%
greater load, using only 1.2 gallons of fuel per passenger every 95
miles which equals the best turbo-diesel cars on the market. Craig
R. Bolt holds a BS in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering
from the University of Illinois. He has worked for Pratt &
Whitney since 1973, moving from an analytical engineer in
compressor research technology to Director of Validation and
Certification. Currently, he is responsible for the development,
testing, and certification of the GE/PW manufactured GP7000 engine.
Over the course of 30 years, he has worked on the Quasi – 3D fan
blade design, V2500 engine by International Aero Engines, the
PW4168 & PW4084 engines, and many others leading to the
development of the GP7200 that will be used to power the Airbus
A380 jumbo jet, seating 555. New technology had to be employed in
the area of fuel economy and noise reduction without sacrificing
thrust. Once the consumer and government mandated these
improvements the technology was developed for both a cleaner and
more efficient engine. Using titanium blades, digital controls,
carbon seals to reduce oil consumption, and other advanced
techniques, engineers were capable of solving the engineering
problems. Consider coming to this informative meeting to learn how
it is done on a grand scale.
