The purpose of this breach of protocol exemplified some of the qualities for which Pone'r was praised throughout the program-his concern for people and devotion to family. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division's outgoing deputy commander for research and development wanted the evening to stan by recognizing his family's suppon. He presented a dozen red roses to his wife, Marilyn, and a corsage to each of his daughters, Karen and Mary, and to daughter-in- law Karen Sue. Corsages also went to Mary Ann Brown, his secretary for 21 years; Diana Hayes, his secretary while he was head of the Naval Weapons Center Laboratory Directorate; and Carol Barry his secre- tary since 1989, when he became NWC technical director. He said he appreciated the imponant roles they'd played in his career. While he had the floor, Poner said, "For the past couple of weeks everybody's been telling me what to do...Personnel"s been telling me what to do...Carol's been telling me what to do. So, when I leave, it will be easy to go home and be told what to do." He also turned the tables when he delivered the first dig of the night. He said he'd recently considered filing a discrimination com- plaint because people had been kidding him about being the oldest living JP still working at China Lake. He added that after doing some research, he determined that title would now be held by Dillard Bullard. The Porters joined co-emcees Sterling Haaland and Gerry Schiefer on the podium, which also held a full-size, inen Shrike missile. The Big Band Express provided music during the social hour and heavy hors d'oeuvres were catered by Hiner's Restaurant in the main meet- ing room at Kerr McGee Center in Ridgecrest. Some 600 anended the affair. Haaland, who has now assumed Poner's vacated post, led the crowd in an opening toast of Poner to kick offthe program. Dr. Harry Lewis, pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, performed the invocation. Schiefer, Aircraft Weapons Systems Director, said he and Poner went back a long way. "We've travelled over a hundred thousand miles together," he said. "We've fished together, \\e've hunted togeth- er, we've been together a lot. And I learned a lot from Bill Poner. I learned about how imponant people are. And he taught me to have integrity in everything I did." A 20-minute videotape in the theme of "It's a Wonderful Life" produced by the Technical Information Depanment traced Ponet's life from binh through his retirement.
