1926
Local news media in Virginia, Vermont, and New Hampshire pictorially portrayed 1926 men in action: In Charlottesville—Rollie Eaton taking office as president of the Thomas Jefferson Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution; in Rutland—OzFitts giving legal approval at the signing of a 2 million dollar bank computer facility; in Newport Ken Andler beaming as he retired after 40 years' practice of law.

Keeping an eye on financial news for Calvin Bullock, Ltd. Ed Hanlon's news-clip service brought in excerpts from the Kendall Company 1970 annual report concerning Hal Marshall.

Hal provided a continuity of leadership as well as participating in the careful search for a new successor, and his board of directors shared with him his pleasure when he was free in August to start a second retirement. Hal's continuing directorships include The Kendall Co., Shawmut Association, Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. and Acushnet Corp.
