Rut the little experience with state
political affairs didn't sour Roy PEN
well. He didn't suIk or lose his faith
in humanity. He didn't look for some
party that was against everything in
order to air his grievance. His sense
of humor carried him over and none
of the warmth of character went
away.
Then he went on the school board.
He went there because Topeka just
somehow had to find a Roy Penwell
to meet the situation. And Penwell
went to the job just as he seemingly
did everything else in this world-be-
cause he could serve.

gressional investigating committee to-

fell from vessels. while. in the midst

Richardson, whose original investi-

sented a long list of cases.. relating to
alleged dilatory bids, waste, ineffi-
cheney, pay roll padding, and other
abuses. He said there, was no check
