Bill Herlihy's November 21, 1987 History of Francis William Herlihy, Page 2:
Some Asides on the Jobs:
Guarantee Trust. Mrs. Ella Curtin, Dad's cousin on his father's side, worked there until Feb. 5, 1920, according to Dad. She recommended him for the job. Dad worked here in April and May 1920. Ella Curtin went back to work for the Bank of Asia, this time in Shanghai, China.
Packard Motor Co. made luxury cars; they merged with Studebaker in the 1950s. About mid-1950s, they went out of business. At this Packard dealership one of the customers was Babe Ruth...While working at Packard, Dad met him.
Ranier Motor Corp. They bought truck sub-assemblies and manufactured trucks. Dad left because the business was failing.
Submarine Mine Depot. Dad's supervisor was Mr. Seymour Reed, who retired early in WW2, and later Mr. Albert J. Timmel, who retired abt. 1946, which is when Dad became Chief Clerk. Mr. Timmel is my godfather. Other people at the SMD were Mr. D. Sloan Murray, Mr. Jancar, Mr. Willie Williams, Mr. J. Fox, and Mrs. Mary Irvin.
Col. D. S. Leazner was the CO of the SMD from at least Sept. 1946 until it transferred operations from Army Ordinance to Naval Ordinance in Jan. 1950...
Page 3: The SMD developed and tested underwater mines and planted mine fields in the harbors and rivers, to protect against enemy ships or submarines.
White Sands Missile Range. Dad was promoted from GS-12 (step 4, $8215 per year) to GS-13 ($8990) on Nov. 24, 1957. In 1963 high blood pressure gave Dad a Disability Retirement. His last day on the job was in 1963, but his sick leave and annual leave kept him on the regular payroll until 10 mos. later in 1964. In 1964 his monthly retirement was $700, and in 1982, $2500, thanks to a cost-of-living index.
Dad's supervisor was the Post Comptroller, Mr. Samuel Teidelbaum. He worked more than 41 yrs. for the Federal Civil Service. It qualified him for a retirement check of 80% his base pay.
Page 4: On 2 separate occasions I struck up a conversation with men who had worked under Dad at White Sandes. They both transferred to other sections for job promotions; both swore he was the best supervisor they ever had.
Nicknames: Frank, Francie (used only rarely by his wife), Bill, Little Bill, Duke
Place buried: Hillcrest Memorial Gardens Cemetery, West Hwy 80, Las Cruces, NM
He went to night school for all his university years. He went to CC NY in the spring of 1924. He graduated from NYU with a Bachelor of Commercial Science degree. He probably had more hrs. in business, accounting, and economics than does today's typical MBA. the grade avg. was "B". While going to NYU, he worked 6 full days/wk at his civil service job.
Frank corresponded with his 1st cousin, Lillian Curtin Kerr
for > 50 years.
This lengthy letter writing was what prompted his son, Bill Herlihy, to write to Lillian after Frank's death in Dec 1980.
When she died in Feb 1988, we found Bill's letters and picked up the correspondence in more modern media like telephone and e-mail.
Were it not for their original correspondence, which for personal reasons Lillian kept to herself, we would have NO FAMILY HISTORY handed down to us descendants of Ellen Driscoll & Denis HEARLIHEY.--OliviaRevits 14:02, 1 May 2007 (MDT)
