L. W. Blinn Lumber Company, Los Angeles, and stayed forty years. Feeling he had worked long enottgh in the same place, he retired on the last day of 1955 and, in the words of the old song, "he ain't goin' to work no more."

Asked why he was retiring, he said he felt he was getting in a rut. (That's a joke, son.)

It was in 1915 that he got a job with the L. W. Blinn Lumber Company. His father, one of the famous characters of early Los Angeles lumber history, was vice-president and general manager of that concern.

In July, 1931, the L. W. Blinn Lumber Company merged with the Patten & Davies Lumber Company of Los Angeles and became the Patten-Blinn Lumber Company, and Les Lynch went along with the merged concern. For many years he has been director of sales for that concern.

Admonished by Mr. Lynch not to "pour it on too thick" in this story, but to make it short and news-like, this writer agrees to his request. It would be an error, however, to close this story without a few words concerning its subject. Les Lynch is a fine lumberman, a sterling citizen, and a respected and well-loved gentleman. The lumber industry of Los Angeles lost one of its most attractive personalities when he put on his hat, put out the fire, and called the dog. Old age has not touched him, and he should have long and enjoyable years ahead of him.

He lives at624 N. Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills. His family consists of Mrs. Lynch, a daughter and a granddaughter, His phone number is CRestview 6-4319.

So long, Les. May your shadow always fall in pleasant places.
