SIGHTS SET ON FLORIDA 
Mr. and Mrs. John A. 
Seitz were guests of honor 
in the Regents Room of the 
Smithsonian Building on the 
afternoon of March 27. The 
occasion was a "send-off" 
for Mr. Seitz, who retired 
at the end of March after more 
than 2k years 1 service on the 
guard force of the Smithsonian. 
Mr. Seitz came to the 
Smithsonian in 1931 after re- 
tiring as a quartermaster 
sergeant in the marine corps. 
He had been assigned to the 
east door of the S. I. Building 
since 1937 * 
Dr. Carmichael presented 
Mr. Seitz with a "Smithsonian 
Card" designed by Mr. Hellyer 
of the International Exchange 
Service and upon which were 
printed the names of the guard's 
many friends who contributed to 
a gift in token of their esteem. 
In making the presentation, the 
Secretary stated that Mr. Seitz 
had been a faithful guardian of 
the east door, having escorted 
many visitors to his office and 
always having the ability to 
locate any member of the staff. 
Mrs. Seitz was presented 
with an orchid corsage. 
The couple is planning to 
live in Florida and will move 
there shortly.
