In Memoriam: The members of SPC 188 dedicate this work to Sidney Parsons, the Chair of our project committee, who passed away shortly before this standard was completed. Sidney was a kind man, a devoted friend and a determined leader. He kept us together. It was our great privilege to work with him. We hope that he is pleased with the results. We miss him.
