Their children, including Tom's father, in turn relocated throughout the region and set down roots of their own. In 1965, Tom moved to the Ottawa area and dabbled with electrical and mechanical engineering. While there, he met and married his wife, Phyllis. Eventually, he completed his education in architectural design and returned to Northern Ontario.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>When an opportunity arose with Dupont, he accepted and so began his love affair with explosives. After 27 years with Dupont, later ETI, he became the Technical Specialist. He quickly realized measuring rock blasting outcomes might be a lucrative niche in the mining industry. So, in 1986, Tom Palangio, in collaboration with John Franklin and Norbert Maerz, created the Waterloo Image Enhancement Process, or WIEP.&nbsp; John and Norbert worked in Waterloo\u2019s Earth and Computer Sciences divisions. Recognizing the importance and sales potential of their discovery, the trio founded WipWare to further develop and market the technology internationally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:gallery {\"linkTo\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":6597,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/wipware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SAMSSA-2017-Tom-Hall-of-Fame-Induction-K.jpg\" alt=\"Dick DeStefano speaking on stage\" class=\"wp-image-6597\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":6598,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/wipware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SAMSSA-2017-Tom-Hall-of-Fame-Induction-Q.jpg\" alt=\"Thomas Palangio speaking about his father's achievement in the mining industry\" class=\"wp-image-6598\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":6599,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/wipware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SAMSSA-2017-Tom-Hall-of-Fame-Induction-SS-e1649779790480.jpeg\" alt=\"Tom receiving Hall of Fame Award from SAMSSA representatives\" class=\"wp-image-6599\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":6600,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/wipware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SAMSSA-2017-Tom-Hall-of-Fame-Induction-W-e1649779008818.jpeg\" alt=\"Dick DeStefano on stage with Tom receiving Hall of Fame Award\" class=\"wp-image-6600\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: Dick DeStefano - long-time friend and colleague congratulating Tom Palangio on his award.<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:gallery -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"anchor\":\"h-tom-has-taken-some-leaps\"} -->\n<h2 id=\"h-tom-has-taken-some-leaps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tom Has Taken Some Leaps<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Prior to Tom's induction into the SAMSSA Hall of Fame, Hugh Kruzel wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/mineconnect.com\/whats-next-tom-palangio-president-of-samssa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>featured article<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on October 17, 2017.
