Group Honors Lumberman
Aspecial retirement dinner to honor Bill Johnson, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., for his years of service to the redwood industry and his 30 years as a club director, has been held by the Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club, a lumberman's fraternity.
Johnson, a former club president in 1960-61, was also named Lumberman of the Year in 1975. Approximately 65 were present, with some coming from as far away as 200 miles to take part in a series of brief speeches of recollection.
The club's annual golf tournament, held each May in conjunction with their longstanding Reveille Meeting, will now be named the Bill Johnson Golf Tournament and will include a perpetual trophy. Johnson has chaired the event for the last several years.
Dwight Curran, a past president of the club and organizer of the dinner, noted that "the board of directors of the club wanted to recognize Bill's contribution not only to the club but his decades of dedication to the highest standards of the redwood industry. " Curran is the president of DMKPacific, Inc. in Fremont, Ca.

The dinner was held November 6. in San Ramon. Ca.
Yup, check's in the mail
Many lumbermen can probably identify with the feelings of the management of the Seymour Lumber Co., Seymour, Wi., when they learned that it had taken 20 years and 22 days to deliver a bill to a customer in Pulaski, a town 12 miles away.
Harold Rudie Sr., 76, received the statement bearing a 50 stamp and Oct.2, 1964, cancellation in a routine mail delivery last month. The Pulaski post office suggests that it might have become lodged in a fold in the bottom of a bag or stuck under a piece of equipment.
Rudie thinks the bill was for materials used to put an addition on his barn. The lumber company apparent- ly had nothing printable to s&y, according to an Associated Press wire story.
