Jock Boiley Nite

(Continued from Page 18) they had a big evening. Bud Barber says it was one of the outstanding events in Club 31 history, if not the most outstanding event any Hoo-Hoo club ever participated in, and the committee and President Joe Aimar wish to publicly thank all the many persons who gave their hands, their time and financial help in making it all that it was.

"Everyone seemed to enjoy working on this project and the cooperation was the greatest we could ever expect for any organizational activity of this nature," Mr. Barber declared. "Hoo-Hoo needs more projects of this type to illustrate what a really worthwhile organization it CAN be."

It was a grand night, allright, and a wonderfully warm and generous thing that the T. M. Cobb Company did in staging it for this splendid citizen. Few men ever deserved such a tribute more. The invitations had read: "This day henceforth to be known as 'Pop Hanson Day'i' and the evening was so successful that it very well could become an annual.

"Chuck" Corwin, salesmanag'er of the Cobb Company, estimated the crowd at about 70, and. that's a whole lot of real friends for any one man to see in one room at a given time. "All my customers are here," Mr. Hanson said once. Customersfriends, with this fine man they're one and the same.

"There are 2,0ffi years of experience in this room," Mr. Cobb said when he started his after-dinner talk. And there were lumbermen, manufacturers, bankers, attorneys, master merchants and the press. More than one of them who stood by his seat at table to voice a little tribute to Mr. Ifanson called him "a friend of industry." Wires were read from many of the invited who could not attend. And there were several letters from others on the official guest list.

Host Cobb told of "Pop" Flanson's career (see Page 61), praised his product, his family and his character and detailed the growth of his business f.rom20 employes to 200.

And they told of Mr. Hanson's philosophy in notifying his past-due accounts, which is simply to inform them: "I've carried you longer than your Mother did."

In addition to the taperecorder gift from the T. M. Cobb Company (pictured on Page 60), there were other tokens to the guest of honor. Then there was that always touching moment at any honor ceremony, after all the thoughts have been voiced, when the entire crowd rose to its feet for that thunderous moment of standing applause.

What could Mr. Hanson say? There really aren't any words for tributes from the hearts like that one. So he didn't say a word; but he .looked volumes of gratitude. And he can always cherish the memory of that night, the gifts, the spoken words both in person and preserved on the electronic tape.

Itot that he ever should, but if "Pop" Hanson ever wondered if he had true friends. now he knows ! His good friends at the T. M. Cobb Company showed him so on that memorable night of March 72,,1957.
