Mr. Halleck had the Clinic on the main throughfare there.
I don’t have that number, but I think we have it somewhere
in our previous testimony. His method of operation was
a little different, maybe unique. He lubricated his some
of his recalcitrant Members with beverage, which was not a stranger
to the Board of Education either, but again, that was a little
different atmosphere. But Mr. Halleck, he was a straight-forward fella.
He would get a fella by the elbow and
take him down there in that room and,
now let’s sit down and let’s resolve this.
He was a very direct and very effective leader in his own way.
Mr. Martin was not that way at all. He used his room
for small lunches, small breakfasts.
F-18 was that room, and it was just across the hall from the Clinic.
It was a larger room and had a long table which made it very useful
for that kind of a meeting. And Mr. Martin had a marvelous way of
reasoning with people. And, he did not always have to win.
He had a way of, if you convinced him that it was contrary
to your interests not to do something, he was very understanding.
