Bill
Heffner, owner of FEA Industries, a SA lab partner in Morton, Pa.,

the first quarter. For
his successful efforts, Heffner won a 37” high-definition

There is also a grand prize that includes a big screen
high-definition television, a prized Steuben Glass award and cash.

wide variety of properties, including darkening, speed of reaction,
attractive colors and longer life. This
breakthrough technology raises the standard for the performance of
plastic photochromic lens materials.
