Readers of this column will recall that Jack is a high ranking executive of the New York Telephone Company, having been elected a vice president a year ago. You will recall, also, that he served as class agent in 1943_1945- Thus he brings ability and experience to the job and I am personally grateful to Jack for accepting the appointment. I know you will share my feeling of satisfaction that the position is so happily filled.
