A Hall-of-Fame Papermaker passes away

By:

Steve Roush, Vice President, Publisher & Editor

A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of meeting up with Dr. Hardev S. "Doug" Dugal at the Paper Discovery Center, which houses the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame, in Appleton, Wisconsin. Dr. Dugal was a champion in establishing the Hall of Fame, and as a longtime stalwart in the industry, he was enshrined in the Hall in 2014. On 13 Dec. 2017, Dr. Dugal passed away at the age of 80.
