The PMP magazine staff celebrated with the friends, families and colleagues of the Class of 2015: John Cook, Noad Corley, Dr. Laurel Hansen and Dr. Phil Koehler. The black-tie event took place at the Gaylord Opryland on Oct. 19.
From left are Nancy Shaw and Debbie Gann, daughters of Noad Corley; Dr. Laurel Hansen; Dr. Phil Koehler; and Brian and Lyn Cook, grandson and daughter-in-law of John Cook Sr.

Noad Corley’s daughters gave a touching speech about the loving impact he had on their lives.
During his acceptance speech, Dr. Koehler couldn’t resist letting the cat out of the bag — in this case, a “dead” one given to him by some students.

Later in the week, Bug Off Pest Control’s Andy Linares, left, was confirmed as the newest member of the United Producers, Formulators & Distributors Association (UPFDA) — but we’re pretty sure he’s talking about Bug Off’s upcoming New York Expo with PMP’s Marty Whitford here.
