OFFICE MANAGER E. E. JCHNSON THANKS STAFF FORHELP IN OFFICE MOVE.On behalf of the company I wish to expressappreciation to the thirty-odd appointed staffcoordinators and to all other staff members whodid such an excellent job organizing the preparationof departmental equipment for transferfrom our former Stamford locations and in coordinatingthe set up of equipment for servicein the <strong>new</strong> lIavemeyer Lane headquar ters. Cons ideringits huge proportions and all-encompassingnature, the move was accomplished quite smoothly.In all, some eight hundred packing cases of bookcasematerial, five hundred desks, eight hundredchairs, three hundred and fifty General Filescabinets and thousands of other departmentalitems were labeled, numbered and relocated in the<strong>new</strong> offices.While the actual movtng into Havemeyer Laneoffices was somewhat hampered, principally byoverloaded elevator service to the building'ssecond floor offices, the move was completed ina little over the elapsed time expected. And, asWas to be expected also, there was some misplaced department equipment and be longings. Theseinstances however, were few enough in number consideringthe overall accomplishment.With all planning and organization of themove considered, the rapid return to normaloffice function upon occupation of the buildingis attributable in good part to Stamford staffmembers. Appointed staff coordinators, one ormore from each section, generously devoted muchmore of their own time and energy to the relocationof equipment than was originally thoughtnecessary. Other staff members, many at the siteon Sunday with their families to admire the <strong>new</strong>D-O home, gladly pitched in when and where theirhelp was needed. We sincerely appreciate thepersonal interest of all these members and theirvery real help in bringing the move to successfulcompletion.• • •• • •Ear! E.
