Abstract

The only time I met Carman G. Blough was March 29, 1979, in Bridgewater, Virginia. Two months before, I telephoned him to arrange the meeting for I was beginning work on my dissertation noting the contributions of Blough. I felt the intervening time would be adequate to organize the dissertation and to formulate questions. However, as I began studying Mr. Blough's writings, I found myself overpowered by the breadth and depth of his experiences. From 1935 to 1961 Blough held a series of important positions, each demanding unique skills and abilities. Starting with his appointment as Chief Accountant (1935-1938) to his appointment as Director of Research (1944-1961), Blough was constantly faced with developing the functions and duties of a new or rapidly developing office. In each case, with a minimum of guidance, he was not only successful in developing policies to meet current needs but also established concepts that are still being followed.
