On Page 7 of the April issue of the ErieRailroad Magazine is a picture of a dinner at Port Jervis, N. Y. There, in a prominent position at the speakers' table, is Milton J. McInnes. The article describing the affair contains the following reference to one of Thirty's erstwhile athletes: "M. G. Mclnnes of Jersey City, Erie assistant general manager, made the official presentation of the R. E. Woodruff trophy to the Port Jervis Y.M.C.A. on the occasion of the 61st annual meeting of the Port 'Y\ February 14. Introduced by General Manager R C. Randall, who praised Mr. Mclnnes for his rapid climb through the ranks to his present important position in less than 15 years, Mr. Mclnnes reviewed the history of the R. E. Woodruff trophy. It is awarded annually to the Y.M.C.A. on the Erie system registering the greatest percentage of increase in membership."
The grapevine news service sent us a report on Pooch Meyer: "Kirt Meyer is one of the youngest merchandising managers in Macy's and mighty, mighty hot on women's accessories, which run into a lot of dough. His son, twelve-year-old Bill, got it into his head that he wanted to take on the piano, sold his dad and mother on it and the piano appeared in the apartment. Now young Bill, papa Pooch and the mother all take lessons and pound out the symphonies Kirt has big things ahead for him at Macy's."
