http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80830921

Daniel Martin joined the Acoustical Soceity of America in 1941. His accomplishments during his fifty-five years of participation, dedication, contribution, and service to the society and acoustics are excellent examples of why Dan Martin is so highly respected by his peers, clients and friends. He was ASA President (84-85), President-Elect (83-84), Editor-in-Chief (85-), recipient of the society's distinguished service award (89), Executive Council Member (57-60), Chairman Medals and Awards Committee (62-64), First Chairman for the Musical Acoustics Technical Committee (60-61), and presently a Member of the Technical Committees for Architectural Acoustics and Engineering Acoustics. Dan Martin was also President of the Audio Engineering Society and a post audio chairman for the IRE, later called IEEE. Dan is also an acoustical consultant, muscian, songwriter, and a devoted family man. He graduated from Georgetown College and the University of Illinois. He then worked for the RCA Corporation, the Baldwin Piano and Organ Company, and U.S. Air Force projects, and at present for himself as an acoustical consultant. When reviewing his many challenges and accomplishemtns, it is most understandable why so many individuals had requested that the Daniel Martin story be permanently documented and made available. Dan Martin's verbal and written accounts of his various life long endeavors should serve as an inspiration to acousticians worldwide for many years to come.
