In the past there have been a series of lady clerks: the physical facilities sate not too good. The last lady clerk resigned earlier this year and one of her recommendations was that a male individual be hired who would better fit in with the work environtaent, A man was hired that had broad experience in the Navy with radio dispatch as a radio operator; also it takes a certain maturity in dealing with the crews, etc. Additionally he has assumed new responsibilities for setting up systeaas and procedures relative to preventative vehicle maintenance and work analysis, etc. Discussion ensued.
