It is with great honor and respect that the Minnesota Concrete Council renames its “Industry Advancement Award” the “Richard Stehly Industry Advancement Award” and awards it for the first time to Dick Stehly posthumously.  Richard D. Stehly, P.E., one of the founders of American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET) and American Petrographic Services, Inc. (APS), passed away suddenly on Saturday evening September 18, 2010. Some individuals are just meant to leave their mark on an industry, a profession or our society, for that matter and Dick did just that.
