Better source for lifetime achievement

I've been looking for a better source for the lifetime achievement award of the Evolutionary Programming Society, so far unsuccessfully. The society appears to be long-defunct; it sponsored the Evolutionary Programming conference series in the 1990s. In Evolutionary Programming IV (1995), the front matter states that this award is new and lists its first five recipients (not De Jong). The next three years of the conference proceedings (apparently its last three years) do not list the award (Evolutionary Programming V is not available online; I checked a physical copy of all of these). Neither does the most recent archive of the society's web site that I can find [1]. Apparently there was a mailing list "ep-list" which this might have been announced on? It would be good to nail down the date of this award if we can. Alternatively, maybe an award of a long-defunct society is too minor to mention? —David Eppstein (talk) 21:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
