Ms. Janet Snider Samet
Born in Somerset, OH in 1923, Harold Snider served in the Corps of Engineers in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
He received a Master's Degree in mechanical engineering from the Ohio State University in 1949, where he, along with colleague Leroy F. Florant, investigated liquid hydrogen pumping. This work was used in the development of the first flight-model liquid hydrogen-oxygen rocket engine.
Mr Snider is currently retired (2000) after a career as an engineer in the home appliance industry, though his retirement includes teaching engineering classes at the University of Florida.
