It is my great personal pleasure to present the citation for "Chuck" Horngren on his induction to the Accounting Hall of Fame. We all know "Chuck" as an excellent teacher, a dedicated contributor to the effective working of the accounting profession, and a truly outstanding author.

"Chuck" is a warm, friendly soul, always willing to help, doing more than his share of the work without claiming credit for it. There is not a single malicious bone in his body. My life has been enriched by knowing him, working with him, and enjoying his company and that of Joan for these many years. With memory of this lifetime of friendship, I am proud to read this citation.
