duty as such. Everybody knew him as manly
man who. was unafraid to stand out in the
open, who had views on all subjects and hest

was not opinionated nor arrogant, nor reticent,
nor Indifferent. He passed his views with
manly confidence in their cbrrectiveness but
yielded gracefully to an adverse decision.

his company. Can we ever forget the meetings
