| Early in my tenure as Nucleus editor I asked at a Board of Publications (BOP) meeting how I would ever get out of the job now that I had it? Vince Gale, Nucleus Ad Manager, quipped, “you either become ill like Arno, or you take a job out of state like Mark Spitler.” the Nucleus job in those days adhered to a tight production schedule for 10 issues per year. The issue had to be ready for the printer two weeks before the month of issue for third class mail to deliver it in time. Timely arrival of the Nucleus was a big issue in those days when third class mail could, unpredictably, sit in the post office for a few weeks before it was delivered. Now we have internet delivery of a pdf so the delivery issues have gone away and the issue can be more of a just-in-time publication. |
| I blundered into the job as Nucleus Editor. I had been recruited to run for Counselor for the 1998 NESACS Election by NESACS Archivist and colleague at Polaroid, Myke Simon. I was elected an alternate counselor for the term from 1999-2001. I attended Board Meetings but struggled to find a meaningful role in the Section. However, I always enjoyed the presence of Arno Heyn at those Board Meetings when he would pridefully circulate the proof of the upcoming issue of the Nucleus. |
| Polaroid was going through upheaval in those days so I didn’t run again for Counselor in 2001 and instead focused on work and creating a new printing technology which was the foundation for the formation of ZINK Imaging, which spun out of Polaroid in 2005. At the end of 2004 I was ready to reengage with NESACS so I attended the October Monthly Meeting where I sat with Vivian Walworth. Vivian was a very old friend of Arno Heyn going back to their days together at the University of Michigan. One of her favorite stories was how she introduced Arno to his future wife. Vivian had a long career at Polaroid working directly with Edwin Land starting in 1944 on 3-D battlefield photography (Vectograph). Vivian was an editor par excellence for the The Society of Imaging Science and Technology, a chair of the IS&T, and wrote and edited many seminal works on instant photography. After the death of her husband and retirement from her duties at the IS&T she engaged with NESACS as one of the three members (since expanded to five) of the Board of Publications. |

| A brief tribute to Mike Filosa, Editor of the Nucleus |
| By Katherine Lee, NESACS Board of Publications Chair and ACS District I Director |
 |
| Photo taken in 2008 by Philip Tseng on the West Lake Causeway in Hangzhou, China. |
|
| Mike Filosa has been the Editor of the Nucleus since January 2005, and some of us have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to hear Mike’s story about how he assumed the mantle of this role from none other than Arno Heyn (NESACS Chair 1968, Henry Hill Award Winner 1986, Nucleus Editor 1989-2004). |
| As I have come to know Mike through the years, I have been impressed by his stewardship for the history of NESACS and his dedication to our Section and to the ACS as a whole. Perhaps you have attended a NESACS Board Meeting at which Mike gave an update on the latest issue of the Nucleus and passed around the proof so we could get a sneak peek of the contents. Perhaps you have been the recipient of a nudge from Mike, along the lines of, “It would be great if you could write up [name of event]” or “I need the announcement for the monthly meeting.” |
| As Ajay Purohit, the 2019 Chair of the NESACS Board of Publications (BOP) notes, “I think that what I remember most about Mike is his selfless devotion to NESACS and the work he did to continue Arno Heyn’s legacy in the Nucleus.” |
A labor of love:
To put together up to 10 issues per year, amassing the content, and in many cases, writing articles in addition to editing submissions, is a demanding job; you may browse the issues edited by Mike here: https://www.nesacs.org/publications_nucleus.html |
