Special Awards and Citations

1957

Radio Station KSOK of Arkansas City, Kansas   "for its action in initiating a telephone call to the Weather Bureau Office in Wichita reporting that information had been received on tornadic activity near Maple City and Otto, Kansas. The tornado warning issued by the Wichita Office as a result of this call is believed to have saved the lives of at least six persons, possibly more."

Television Station WKY-TV of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma   "for their enthusiastic support of meteorology in their area. With a professional meteorologist serving as Publicity Director and Meteorologist for WKY-TV, the weather programs are found to be most interesting and emphasize progress made in meteorology. WKY-TV was also instrumental, several years back, in securing the reproduction rights to the now famous Corn Tornado movie film which they then made available to training agencies at cost."

Joseph Bartatto   "for his action in reporting severe weather and rumbling sound, possibly a tornado, in his neighborhood. Relayed to the Green Bay Weather Bureau Office, the report was verified by the State Police and a general warning issued to alert other communities in central Wisconsin. It is reasonable to believe that a considerable number of lives were saved as a result of his timely report."
