Dee Essley Story

He was president of the L.A. club in 1948 (then club membership:400) when it hosted the national convention at which his old friend and fellow lumberman Roy Stanton (see The Merchant, May, p. 18) was made national president of the industry fraternity.

Matter of fact, he was so successful in running the convention that the profit from it went into a sinking fund for the local clirb that has more than once kept it going.

In his spare time (?) he is also a Rotarian and active Shriner, to mention only two of the many organizations, both charitable and social, to which he has belonged.

Still active and vigorous at 80 (July 11 is the actual date) he advises at his business, remains as chairman of the board at the hospital to which he has given so much, works for other charities and continues to be the amazing man he has always been.
