I had just completed my BS in chemistry at Northwestern University in 1928 and had passed the Civil Service Chemistry Examination, and my fiance had passed an examination for the Civil Service Commission and had been offered a job at that agency in Washington. So we got on a train and came to DC, arriving 15 March 1928. I went to the Civil Service Commission (now called the Office of Personnel Management) and was directed to NBS where there were a number of openings for a P1 chemist. There I talked to Dr. Wichers in Chemistry and to J. Murray in the Lime and Gypsum Section. I took a job in the latter. On 31 March, we got married and on Monday, 2 April 1928, I started work in the Lime and Gypsum Section of the Clay and Mineral Products Division.

McClellan Air Force Base is engaged in a five year demonstration project aimed at both simplifying the current personnel management system and improving quality production and services in a logistics setting. The fundamental purpose of the demonstration is the design and test of a management system exportable to the entire federal sector that will accomplish the goal of better management, improved product and service quality, and correct the various deficiencies associated with traditional efficiency models. This article discusses the Pacer Share Project which offers a prototype model, using changed personnel policies, practices, and procedures to improve overall mission accomplishment performance and quality work life at the McClellan Air Force Base. This article represents the opinions of the authors and should not be construed as in any way representing official or unofficial viewpoints of the U.S. Air Force or the Office of Personnel Management.
