(Drislane - Purcell) 52 1 Q Could you give me an example of something he was 2 involved in that made you comfortable in describing him as a 3 prime mover in the organization of the FMSI? 4 A Well, he was a member back when this 5 reorganization was happening in 1948 and '49, that's the 6 reason. 7 Q He also, you indicate, served two terms as 8 president. Was there -- tell me about how presidents were 9 elected, for two-year periods. Could an incumbent president . 10 run again for another term right after his term was 11 completed? 12 A Yes. In general there was -- you had -- had a 13 nominating committee, you picked people on it. This is like 14 serving on the PTA. People who were on there were not on 15 there because they were running for office, they were more or 16 less drafted, would you serve as president or something like 17 that. What I am saying is these are not positions that 18 people were begging to get into. So the general rule was 19 they would -- the nominating company met, would you took the 20 job or something like that. So then they would nominate your 2X guy arid~tfie nomination^--I~f orget--the--me chan-ic s--of--the------------- thing. He would be elected for one term and it was generally such that you served one year, you served a second year, A.S.E. Reporting Service (518) 458-1091
