Dear PSC,

I just learned from Bob Lozar (producer of the GRASS video from 1987) that Jim 
Westervelt has applied to retire. The target is said to be April. What could be 
an appropriate action by the current GRASS community and the PSC to acknowledge 
Jims role as originator of the GRASS ?

What about proposing Jim for the 2017 Sol Katz Award, he is certainly
deserving.

Brainstorming here:

- honorary member of the grass PSC
- dedicating 7.4 release to him
- all current developers send a picture and we give him a big thank you poster 
with all those pictures

- add your idea here
