Presentation of the Penrose Medal to Robert P. Sharp

Abstract

Tonight we honor Robert P. Sharp as our Society's 1977 Penrose Medalist. I am sure that you all appreciate the distinction and prestige associated with this award, but I also hope that you realize how honored I am to be asked by the recipient to be the citationist. I have valued my association with Bob Sharp for many years — as a student, a colleague, a friend, and fishing companion — and this is a satisfying occasion for me as well.
