Mr. Charles Frederick Quincy 



Director of the American Forestry Association and Chairman of the Executive Committee. 



ORIGINALLY from Massachusetts, Mr. Quincy has for years had his business location in New York City, while 

 maintaining a summer residence on Squam Lake, New Hampshire. 



As a personal friend of ex-Governor Guild, deceased, he was invited by Governor Guild when the latter was 

 president of the American Forestry Association, to become a member of the Board of Directors, with the particular 

 desire on the part of President Guild that Mr. Quincy, \vi th his large experience in finance, should look into the 

 financial side of the Association, its afifairs at that time being in a rather precarious condition. 



Mainly under his leadership as chairman of the executi ve committee of the board, the Association has been lifted 

 from an unsatisfactory financial position to its present basis of increasing prosperity. Our very successful bond plan 

 for the development of our work and the bettering of our magazine was his idea. 



Today we hold in securities twice the amount of our banded indebtedness. The Association has attained a position 

 of national recognition and its work in public service is recognized as great and increasing. 



To Mr. Quincy to his tact, his faithful devotion to his self-impo.sed duties in the Association, and to his experi- 

 ence and ability in financial management the Association owes a great debt for services deeply appreciated and val- 

 ued by his associates in the work. Henry Sturgis Drinker.
