Chris Dugan, Managing Director of Bridon American Corporation (BAC), said of Sleightholm: “David has been an integral part of WRTB’s long history of promoting wire rope knowledge and assisting in the process of establishing technical and safety standards for military, governmental, and industrial use. It was especially fitting that he was recognized at his last meeting by a group of his engineering peers, whose respect and appreciation for his work and knowledge were evident.”
