Emeritus
Member - Howard H. Newlon, Jr.
Howard
H. Newlon, Jr., who has been associated with the historic and archaeology
preservation in transportation committee since its inception as a subcommittee
in 1976, was awarded member emeritus status at the 2006 annual meeting.
This honor is bestowed on long-serving members who make significant contributions
to the work of the committee. He was a was a founding member when ADC50
became a full committee in 1984 and served as its chair from 1988-1991.
He was instrumental in the survival of the committee, and he continues
to provide valued insights and guidance. Howard brought his considerable
expertise in many areas of structural engineering, particularly concrete,
to promote knowledge about preservation of historic bridges. He represents
that all-to-rare combination of practitioner, scholar and advocate, and
he initialed one of the first statewide bridge inventories in the nation
with his Virginia metal truss bridge survey in the early 1970s. A University
of Virginia-trained engineer with the Virginia Transportation Research
Council from 1956 until his retirement as its directory in 1989, Howard
has been a member of five different TRB committees and has served on over
10 panels, including the one that produced the landmark 1983 Historic
Bridges – Criteria for Decision Making report that did so much to
put bridges in the preservation lexicon. He has promoted preservation
of historic bridges through all of his committee work with TRB. It is
a real pleasure to have all of TRB recognize what Howard Newlon has meant
to integrating historic preservation into transportation projects –
an honor well deserved for a pioneering preservationist.
