The Society of American Mili- tary Engineers (SAME), a pro- fessional engineering society which was founded in 1920 and is comprised of active duty mil- itary and civilian engineers who are dedicated to the defense of our country, has officially in- stalled its new local officers for 1981.

P.E., who is president of the

American Dredging Company; vice president is Capt. Robert J.

Snarski, Assistant Chief of Op- erations Division-Army Corps of

Engineers. Mr. Kucerik also re- ceived an award for Outstanding

Dr. Pistilli is replacing Col.

James G. Ton, CE, U.S. Army, the past president. According to a

SAME official, Colonel Ton has had a very distinguished and suc- cessful year as leader of a society which attempts to further the idea of the citizen/soldier; a con- cept which goes back to the time of George Washington.

The new president, Dr. Pistilli, holds the title of "Engineer of the Year" for 1980; an award from the American Society of

Civil Engineers. As a Navy pilot in World War II, he was shot down three times. He also served on active duty during the Korean

War and as a special consultant to the Defense Department in

Vietnam during the TET offen- sive.

Attending the meeting was

Comdr. Steven C. Beuby, CEC,

USN. He is the Indian Ocean

Project Officer, Naval Facilities

Engineering Command. He com- mented on the construction ac- tivity for the Indian Ocean Island of Diego Garcia, and he pointed out the strategic role played by this land in support of the United

States efforts for the whole Mid- dle East.
