Former “Cheers” sitcom star and actor John Ratzenberger, long-time proponent for introducing young people to the exciting career opportunities in manufacturing, introduces Florida teenage race car driver and welder Brennan Palmiter as the new face of youth manufacturing for the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association (FMA). The FMA and its publication Practical Welding Today will sponsor Palmiter for the 2008 racing season as well.

Ratzenberger also announces the national winners of manufacturing camp grants issued to not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions. These annual grants for camps that introduce young people to manufacturing are awarded jointly by the FMA Foundation and the Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs Foundation (NBTF), an organization co-founded by Ratzenberger, and dedicated to raising awareness of skilled trades among young people.

John Ratzenberger, producer and host of the Travel Channel’s “John Ratzenberger’s Made in America” and the only actor to voice a character in every Pixar film, and Terrence Egan, director of the FMA Foundation, an educational, research and charitable organization that promotes metal forming and fabricating technology, will introduce 16-year-old Brennan Palmiter, a Livingood Motorsports race car driver from Ormond Beach, Fla.
