San Diego HooHoo Luncheon

November 5, 1924

San Diego, Nov. 8.-Regular Wednesday Noon Hoo Hoo Luncheon was held at the Maryland Hotel Banquet Room, on Wednesday, November 5th, with an attendjnce of twenty-six.

Knute Rinde, Credit Manager of the Benson Lumber Company, better known by his many friends as "BIJD," presided as Chairman.

. Andy Donovan, of the Union Lumber Company, Los Angeles, and H. A. McKean and Son, C. F. McKean, were visitors. Mr. H. A. McKean has spent mahy years as head sawver for large lumber mills in Minnesota and New Mexico, and is now making his home at National City, California, a suburb of San Diego.

Brother West, of Srnith-Booth-IJsher Companv, Los Angeles, and by the way, a member of San Diego Hoo Hoo, also checked in to let the boys know he is still a member of this District.

Bud introduced as the speaker of the day, Professor Lewis G. Lesley, Teacher of History and Political Science of the San Diego State College, who delivered a very interesting talk on the new Education of the Student for the Business World of Today, which was very highJy appreciated by each and every one present. It is to be exceedingly regretted that more of the members did not turn out to hear him, because it is constructive talks of this nature that tend to strengthen and make Hoo Hooism worth while.

It was announced by Snark Restine that Homer Miller, of the firm of Miller-McDermott Hardwood Lumber Company, has been selected as Chairman of the next Wednesday luncheon, November l2th.

Howard Thompson, popular Manager of the Frost Hardwood Lumber Company, is wearing a million dollar smile' these days, due to the arrival at his home of a 9rl pound baby girl, on November 3rd, L924. Howard, for reasons best known to himself, failed to show up at the luncheon held on the 5th, but the boys will certainly raise the price of the cigar to tu'o-bits if he fails to make his appearance at the luncheon next Wednesday with a box of Havanas.
