Editor's Memo<br>Where Would We Be Without Adhesives?
As we start a new year, it's a time for introspection. Now, more than any other time, we take stock of our lives.
Some of us entered the adhesives and sealants industry with our goals firmly in place by studying in specialized curricula such as those provided by the Center for Adhesive and Sealant Science at Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, Va. Others adopted this industry (or it adopted us) based on studying various types of chemistry; specializing in polyurethanes, epoxies, silicones or other families of polymers and rubbers; or working in operations or with computers. Our talents are varied and many.
