Submitted by colleagues and students from the University of Alberta
My Hero
In the three years he has been with the University of Alberta, Stuart Guest has been a critical part of our welding lab. As a teaching assistant he has been able to stay on top of the welding courses and has mentored countless younger engineering students.
Making a Difference
Stuart has become the go-to guy in the welding lab (under his own initiative), and is doing groundbreaking research with high speed automated hot-wire TIG welding utilizing Miller equipment. He has inspired countless numbers of students to reach for the best they can do.
Welding Application
Stuart has mastered using the Miller PipePro® and integrated it with almost all other pieces of equipment in our lab, and this has all been accomplished without any direction or instruction. I am certain if he is not some kind of superhero, he could be some sort of genius with infinite energy!
Miller on the Job
Stuart has been able to figure out almost any process, and perform almost any kind of welding. He works with a Dynasty 700, and for demos he uses a Millermatic® 212, a Spectrum® 2050 and a PipePro 450. He has taken on so many initiatives that I would say we would be hopelessly lost without him.

Nominated by his colleague Todd Cantebury
My Hero
My nomination is Mr. Ed Murray of Lakewood, Calif. Ed has been the man to go to in the Long Beach, Calif. metropolitan area for 40 years. If anyone needed the highest quality welding, Mr. Murray was the only source!
Making a Difference
On many occasions Ed has worked on the most exotic alloys and processes. His breadth of knowledge on welding processes and materials is literally AMAZING! What has never failed to impress me or my Boeing colleagues is Ed’s knowledge of welding processes! On many occasions, I have gotten a second opinion from Ed despite having access to a legion of Boeing research, materials, and technology experts!
Welding Application
Ed on occasion speaks fondly of his career, which spans from the first jet engines by Westinghouse to the welding of the Minuteman missiles, and many other defense systems that have kept this country safe. Ed is only one of a handful of aircraft welders certified by the FAA in the Long Beach area.
Miller on the Job
Ed is a WW II U.S. Navy veteran who proudly served in the Pacific theater. He is a devout Miller product user and has told me to NEVER buy anything else but Miller! Sadly, at age 86, Ed will be retiring from the profession, and I felt a bit of recognition would be appropriate!
