PKG Master - Herb Schueneman - Farm Life from Dale Root on Vimeo. Herb Schueneman, founder and chairman of WESTPAK, recounts his transition from urban living to the farm. At the age of nine his family moved to the country, and with no prior experience dove headfirst into a world of soil, crops, and hard labor. Through this journey, Herb found the rewards of dedicated effort, the art of leadership, and the power of persistence. |
PKG Master - Herb Schueneman - San Jose State University Packaging Program from Dale Root on Vimeo. Herb Schueneman, founder and chairman of WESTPAK, discusses his love of teaching with the San Jose State University Packaging Program. Herb has been involved with the SJSU Packaging Program since its inception, both teaching and eventually stepping in to the role of director to lead the program. Herb was well known by his students for his strong desire for them to learn the right way of doing things. He had no hesitation to stop a student presentation that was heading off in a less than good direction so that students could learn skills to benefit their entire life. Students responded by developing the “Virtual Herb”, something that could provide the same valuable feedback when he was unable to attend in person. |

PKG Master - Eric Joneson - Show me the Data from Dale Root on Vimeo. Congratulations to Eric Joneson for being selected as the 2023 ISTA R. David Lebutt Award Recipient. As part of the ISTA standards development process - data is the key to making informed progress. How do you get that data, who provides that data? That is the key question. ISTA has developed an infrastructure to support and promote participation in efforts to develop data that helps to drive the update of existing standards or creation of new standards. |
