By Ellen BendellAlexander and Lewis
honored with Wizard AwardsBy Kate Lowe
Paul Alexander and Regina Lewis are the latest recipients of
the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Wizard Awards. Alexander was given
the distinctive Wizard Award for Leadership, and Lewis received
the quarterly Wizard Award.
Forward Fuselage team members nominated their lead,
Alexander, for his exceptional leadership skills. Even with a
demanding schedule and ever-increasing list of priorities,
Alexander takes the time necessary to build personal relationships."It is easy to see that he
truly cares about the product,
the program and the people
who execute on a daily basis,"
according to team members
who nominated him. "When it
comes to going the extra mile,
he has never asked his team to
stretch and give more than he
has already done himself."- - I r.-tr 1

April 7 in New York City.Engineer group gives ADP VP medal of honor
By Nhu-Y NguyenMost people cannot
say they mix business
with pleasure, but Ed
Glasgow says he is one
of the lucky few who
is paid to do what he
loves. As Advanced
UDevelopment Programs
(ADP) technical vice
president, he has made
a name for himself in
the aerospace industry.
He is the recipient of the 2004 Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) Medal of Honor, which recognizes an
SAE member for unique and significant contributions
to the overall organization.
Of his many SAE contributions, Glasgow said he
is most proud of his efforts to increase aerospace
presence within the society, including the World
Aviation Congress.
Glasgow's tireless work in aerospace is far from a
9-to-5 job. He has served on SAE's Aerospace Council,
which establishes industry standards and strives to
increase aerospace interest in students. He was also
instrumental in SAE's annual Aero Design West
competition, hosted at LM Aero, to challengeengineering students to create their own model
radio-controlled aircraft.
Of his many accomplishments in the aerospace
industry, Glasgow said he believes his greatest is
his work on the YF-22 design team. He energized a
technological revolution in advanced materials,
morphing structures, electromagnetic effects and
advanced propulsion. Glasgow continues to develop
these technologies, demonstrate them in flight and
make them available in future products.
Aside from his involvement in Aero Design West,
he is active in aerospace councils and boards that allow
him to work with, among others, young engineers to
further advance the aerospace industry. He continually
stresses the importance of communication skills. He
said engineers must have a command of speaking
and writing skills to write their reports and make
their proposals.
And he hopes others learn from his unwavering
work ethic: Be patient. Be persistent. Be aggressive.
Be creative. Take initiative. Maintain a competitive
edge. Make changes for the best. Get involved in all
aspects of your profession. And perhaps most
importantly, have fun.
