This picture was taken nearly 50 years ago of Jean Rolenc and Carl Lindstrom standing in front of one of the doors to the Employment Branch of the Personnel Division of the Soil Conservation Service. It was common practice in those days to decorate the doors for Christmas. This was in the South Agriculture building of USDA in D.C. , 2nd wing, 6th floor. I worked in all 5 Branches of the Personnel Division and became Director when Carl Lindstrom died suddenly in 1972. Jean was from Ulysses, NE and lived not more that 6 miles from when we lived when I began employment with SCS; but I never knew her until she came to D.C. to work in our Division. She actually typed my MBA thesis on weekends. We have had an opportunity to see her a couple time since I retired. This morning's Lincoln Journal Star contains the Obituary of her twin sister, Joan from New Burn, NC. Jean is listed among the survivors. It's difficult for an old man to realize that this young lady is now 75 years old.
