Abstract:  
THE STAFF of The Shot Peener magazine is pleased to recognize Dave Barkley, Director of Training for Electronics Inc., as the “Shot Peener of the Year.” Dave was chosen for two reasons: His extraordinary efforts to maintain a training program during the pandemic and his dedication to refining and expanding training for the shot peening and blast cleaning industries. Successful outcomes in 2020 required skill, perseverance, and creative thinking. Dave exemplified all three during a year that tested the shot peening industry like no other. Training, a critical part of a quality shot peening program, was hit especially hard due to lockdowns in air travel and hotel accommodations.
