Neal deserves a big poster in our concrete lab. Ever wondered who took care that students will have enough aggregate for the lab? Neal did, sacrificing weekends and lunch breaks to come on campus and re-fill our supply of sand and gravel. Ever wondered who provides the admixtures we use in concrete lab? Ever wondered who helps out our concrete canoe team? But how many of you participated in the field trips to the CEMEX plant in Orange? Remember who your guide was? Neal always said yes when we asked for help. He is Senior Quality Control Manager at CEMEX , a great company that has helped us and our students on many occasions. Neal deals with concrete mix design and testing on a daily basis. At nights, you might see Neal in concrete lab, teaching part-time for CE and CET. Ask him all you want to know about concrete, but in the end, don't forget to say ... thank you.

A new category on this blog. How often we forget to say thank you ... I would like to start this new category to introduce you to people that helped us provide you with a better learning experience here at Cal Poly. They kindly offered and offer to help, personally or through the companies they work for. They don't have to ... but they understand and they want to help. Please look for new posts in this category, and when you meet these people ... don't forget to say thank you.
