Introducing Len Sugerman!

This website is dedicated to Leonard R. Sugerman and we have created a new publishing house called The Leonard R. Sugerman Press with the simple remit to publish "The Universe is a Cloud, Some Raw Food for Thought." Leonard has dedicated his life to the support of anyone that, as he calls it, "thinks outside of the box". His accomplishments are wide ranging and too numerous to print in their entirety here, but we list some recently mentioned at the award to him of the Fellowship of The Institute of Navigation.
He has been Assistant to the Director of the Physical Science Laboratory, New Mexico State University since retiring from the Air Force in 1975, after thirty-three years of service. His responsibilities with the Air Force included the development, production and testing of self-contained navigation equipment for tactical and strategic aircraft, missile, satellite and re-entry systems; his service also included two wartime overseas tours with engineering units. While assigned to the Air Staff in 1958, he made the inertial navigation systems available to the Navy's Special Projects Office, enabling the Polaris nuclear submarines Nautilus and Skate to reach the North Pole submerged. At MIT, Leonard studied under Prof. Charles Draper, then went on to get an MBA from University of Chicago and an MPA from New Mexico State University. He has been a member of the ION for over forty years and served as its President in 1970. In 1995 the Governor of New Mexico presented him with the "NEW MEXICO DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD" for being "Mr. Public Service" in Las Cruces. He is the only person to ever receive two of the three most coveted Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce Awards. New Mexico State University recently awarded him the NMSU Foundation's highest honor, the Branding Iron Award, for "outstanding contributions of leadership, service, and support" to the university. Sadly Len died at the grand age of 86 years on Friday, July 7, 2006. Our obituary can be found at the link below... See our obituary for Len Sugerman
