In 2004 two additional Lifetime Achievement awards were given to Jim Fitzpatrick, Sr., of Bearings Specialty Company and John Nations of Bearings & Drives. Last year, a Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to James Martin III, who retired in late December 2005 as director-distribution, marketing services & integration, The Timken Company.
