PERSONAL Born in Battle Creek, Michigan on October 25, 1922. Married with three grown children and three grandchildren. · Resident of Orange County since 1968, 16 years in unincorporated area known as North Tustin and in the City of Tustin for 2 years. · Retired 12/31/84 (from a Fortune 500 company after 38 % ye ars) . · Health excellent.

(Do not currently hold a pilot license). · Several corporate sponsored management courses through employer. BUSINESS Entire business career was in management in a corporate division involving sales and distribution of food products to schools, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, bakeries and other related industries. I would like to very briefly highlight my business career. Total responsibility for operating eleven branches in eight Western States. Instituted and controlled expense budget of up ~o 2% million dollars annually and managed up to 132 sales, of'lice, warehouse and delivery people. When the economics cf the food industry required 'closing of the branches, I appointed independent distributors and undertook supervision of a specialized sales force · Page 2 = 2 which included all of the United States west of the Mississippi River. Staff included 6 district managers and 35 account managers. Also during that time, I had a national responsibility for writing training manuals and programs for sales personnel and customers.

While I have never held a political office or been active in politics because my career demanded most of my time, I have always carefully examined the issues and voted in all elections,. including the last Tustin city election. Since August of 1986, I have attended all but three council meetings and by virtue of that attendence and some carefully analyzed, personal o~servations, I have a good understanding of the problems arm~ opportunities this community faces. My business background combined with an intense interest and the fact that I am now able to devote almost all of my time tD serving the city makes me feel I could make a wry strong contribution as a council memh=r for the City of Tustin. · Thank you for your consideration. 14642 Pepper Tree Circle Tustin, California 92680 Phone No. 838-7256 14431Raintree Road Tustin, California 92680 March 18, 1987 Honorable Richard B.

I'm really .proud of the City of Tustin. It is a unique city which needs a council which is responsive to its people and a leader among the cities around it. I would consider it an honor to be appointed. As qualification for the office, I offer the 3 years I served on the City Planning Commission. I was its vice chairman for one · year and its chairman for another. I've worked in aerospace. I've managed a home building divisfon and been a planner. I've also served on various committees and in offices of my homeowners' association. My wife and I have lived in Tustin for 14 years and I have two daughters who both attended the Tustin school system. I know cities and the problems they and their people have. I also feel that I have wide support in the city for the office. In the last city election over 1,400 citizens of the city voted for me when I ran for City Council. I finished runner up- missing by only 142 votes. I was also very lucky to have the support of many active and prominent people in the city. I have attached a list of the people who were active supporters and endorsers from the election. I hope to have the opportunity to serve the city as the council's appointee and I look forward to supporting the council in its activities. Sincerely, Ronald H.

I have a working knowledge of solving growth problems in many counties in California and am willing to put forth the time and effort to help out our fine city. The expansion of Tustin and the problems facing all Tustin residents with our new neighboring communities, requires imput and daily work from a councilman who sincerely cares about, and wants to help with, what is going on in and around Tustin.
