Hall of Fame

Harvey Massey: Man of the People

It's all about the people — the people you work with, the people you work for and the people you care about.

Mark Lacey: A Teacher, A Friend

Oct 1, 2008

Mark Lacey's career intertwined with so many in this industry — perhaps you knew him as a sales rep for Paragon or Liphatech, sat in on one of his seminars for the National Pest Management Association, read one of his many technical articles (or books), or retained him as a consultant. Whatever the reason, the industry still collectively feels the loss of Lacey, who died suddenly in April 2007 at the age of 58.

Bobby Corrigan: From Student to Teacher

Oct 1, 2008

Norman Goldenberg: Mover and Shaker

Oct 1, 2008

Do the Math: Ada & Millard Oldham

Two students, both biology and chemistry majors, entered Arkansas State University in Jonesboro in 1947. One, planning to be a doctor, was having trouble with math. The other, planning to do cancer research, understood math exceptionally well.

For the Love of the Industry: Arnold Mallis

Oct 1, 2007

When it comes to being fondly remembered years after your death, 2007 Hall of Fame inductee Arnold Mallis probably ranks near the top of the list.

Lasting Influence: Mike Rust

Oct 1, 2007

Mike Rust kneels down to examine a series of plastic tubes wound in a circle on the floor, littered with mostly dead termites. The idea behind the experiment is to see how far the termites can travel after they are exposed to a new termiticide, to test how well the active ingredient transfers to other members of the colony.
