he was a dynamic leader. 



DuBois developed a yen for wider fields during 

 his experience in France with the Tenth Engineers 

 and subsequently left the Service to go into the 

 Foreign Service, in which I judge he had a success 

 ful career. 



Paul G._ Redington 



I first knew Redington when he was Associate 

 Regional Forester in Denver under Smith Riley. 

 There he was a sort of fifth wheel, not taking 

 much of a part in running the Region. Deciding he 

 wanted more field experience, he asked for assign 

 ment as Supervisor of the Rio Grande National Forest. 

 Subsequently he served as Regional Forester in 

 Region Three (Arizona and New Mexico) and then as 

 Regional Forester in San Francisco, 



Red was not a success in any of these assign 

 ments. He was a very likeable person, but mer 

 curial in temperament and lacking iron in his make 

 up. Finally he was transferred to Washington in 

 charge of public relations. He suffered a break 

 down which forced his retirement, unhappily ending 

 in a loss of his faculties.
