[REDACTED] b6 Per BOC [REDACTED] b7C Per BOC

I have known [REDACTED] since we were in high school together, to the present time. [REDACTED] and I have also been close friends over the intervening years which stretch from about 1949 to the present. My contact has b b6 Per BOC limited with [REDACTED] because he has spent the time since he left high sch b7C Per BOC, before he graduated, up until November of 1970 in the military service as a Marine. In the intervening years since he left high school, my only contact with him has been when he has been on leave and able to come home. Since his retirement from the military service, I have seen him on several social occasions. I have met his wife, [REDACTED] which is a nickname we gave her. I do not know her real first name. They have one small daughter.

[REDACTED] has been trying in the last two or three months to find employment b7C Per BOC He likes this area but because of the economic conditions of our area, he has not been able to find a job and I know that he has told me he has applied for many jobs around the local area. The only job that has opened up for him is one offered to him by the Treasury Department. He spends a lot of his free time fishing but he has a lot of interests and seems to be well rounded and able to converse with people on many subjects. In a social group, he relates very well and is able to put his point across effectively without antagonizing people. He certainly is low key in his approach to subjects with tact and discretion.

I have never seen him under pressure or stress but he gives the impression of being quite capable of handling an emergency if it would arise. I trust his judgement and think that he is a logical person who develops facts objectively. He seems to be more of a practical nature than of an idealistic one. I also think that he knows what regulations are and because of his long service in the Marine Corps is able to interpret and correctly apply these instructions correctly. I am sure that whatever was required of [REDACTED] he would be able to do. His whole family is a f b6 Per BOC family and they have taught the children to be responsible people. [REDACTED] b7C Per BOC is very stable in his emotional makeup and is in excellent physical health. From my knowledge of [REDACTED] although it has been sporadic in contact over the past twenty years, I consider him definitely a loyal citizen and someone I would recommend highly for any position of trust or responsibility for which he had applied and was accepted.

[REDACTED] and I were high school classmates. I have known him since 1949 or 1950 to the present time. However, because he has spent his past b6 Per BOC b7C Per BOC
