2020 RETA Breeze May-Jun

Industrial Refrigeration 2 is on the way. It has been approved by the Board of Directors. It is also the best IR2, we have ever had. But I would like to note, there are improvements to be made to all of our materials. Everyday we learn more. It is vital that all of us take the time to pass on what we learn. Education is a building process. We lay the foundation for the kids who are following us. Our daughters and sons should not have to learn the hard lessons as we have. I learned to purge air manually with a raincoat over my head. My daughter learned how to turn on a Hanson AP08. What will my grandson learn? It all depends on what we choose to teach the future generations. A man once said, “Hoarding knowledge is a crime against humanity!” If you steal an apple, you have denied someone the joy of eating an apple. If you refuse to teach them how to grow apple trees, you’ve denied humanity of food. The first is illegal, the second immoral. I encourage you (yes you!) to contact the education committee and volunteer to pass some of your knowledge on by infusing it into our training materials. If you are currently involved in a book revision, thank you! The organization has been very busy, planning for this year’s Conference, the premier industrial refrigeration training event in the world. This year’s Conference will have some new stuff, some old stuff, and a lot of fun. I’m told that teams are already forming for the RETA Rumble. Please remember side wagers are against the rules, except for the $5 I have on Eric Teale’s team. LOL The membership committee has some very exciting news. They are preparing an announcement! I can’t wait to see what Mike Hawkins’ team has come up with. But that’s for them to announce. Have a great (and safe) summer! Vern M. Sanderson 2020 RETA National President
