Volunteer Spotlight
The Maydew-Jeblick Award honors the memory of two volunteers whose impact on the Museum was significant. The generous and caring spirits of Randall C. Maydew and Harold Jeblick live on through the individual that is recognized annually. The award was created at the request of the National Atomic Museum Foundation Board of Trustees.
Maydew-Jeblick Awardees are recognized for duration and impact of service, resources leveraged, consistency of commitment, dependability and conscientiousness.
The Museum is honored to present the 2012 Maydew-Jeblick Award to Tom St. Aubin. Tom has been a dedicated volunteer since May 2010. Although he started in customer-service related volunteer position, Tom quickly recognized other needs within the Museum which matched his skills and interests. Working primarily behind the scenes, Tom now assists with exhibits, special projects, and general maintenance on a regular basis. He has, on several occasions, received a phone call from the Museum staff and immediately headed to the Museum to lend his assistance.
Tom is truly committed to the Museum and to it success. No project is too large or too small for Tom’s attention. In 2011, Tom led a team of volunteers who restored the Nike Hercules. This special project was the first full-scale restoration project to occur in Heritage Park. In 2012,Tom led a second special restoration project which resulted in the Titan II (ICMB) being moved to its transtainers for permanent display. The success of these projects is a model for future projects.
Tom has made significant contributions to the Museum in his short tenure. Tom’s leadership, his willingness to accept new challenges, and his generous nature sets an example for other volunteers. We are very pleased to have Tom as part of our volunteer team.
