story of Mr. Armand Audini better known as ``Dini'' to his co-workers.

Outstanding Older Worker award.
  Mr. Audini is truly a shining example of America's mature worker who 
is changing the stereotypes about aging and he serves as a positive 
role model for our younger generation. Mr. Audini has seen his work 
process enter the world of ``high tech'' and he has met the challenge 
of a computerized environment admirably.
