And although the role of This Career Girl is a recent "AFLC Significant Achievement Award" winner. Her 28th year at Hill AFB was climaxed by her selection as Ogden AMA nominee for a Federal Woman's award, and this compliment was followed by the Hq AFLC citation. Leah Lindsay is, in current jargon, an "achiever". The first woman item manager in the Minuteman Missile Division in 1959, Miss Lindsay had graduated from the Air University's "Basic Fundamentals of Guided Missile" course in 1958. She moved into the Minuteman systems operation as an inventory management specialist and holds the same title today after several promotions. In a summary of her excellent performance in the Minuteman Division, her supervisors wrote: "She has initiated the highest quality of automated data processing system products, with 99 per cent accuracy through factor verification on products reviewed during the past year." Cited were her accuracy in reporting what ground support equipment and ground handling equipment items (approximately 500) for the Minuteman were needed and procured. Her job, essentially, is to see that the equipment is ordered and delivered on time to a special repair activity, one of the principal ones, being Newark AS, "Curly" in the upcoming production of "Oklahoma!" is comic rather than heroic, Ric looks forward to a time when he may be wearing the royal trappings of Macbeth. That's what "theater". The At calls f C 3k I Texas-bor- n airman (from "Big D") graduated a couple of years ago from suburban Sam Houston High School with a whole string of acting triumphs behind him. He had made his debut as a soloist in "HMS Pinafore" at the age of 11. He never took off the grease paint while there was a school drama in x w . production. Although he was a member of the choir in his part of Texas, he has played more straight dramatic roles than musical ones. Still, a voice is a voice, and he has sung on Dallas TV stations while playing classic parts in Leah Lindsay all-regi- supervisory property and supply clerk, handling flyaway kits for overseas bomber aircraft. Six years later she went over to the Minuteman in Materiel Management. She has taken many Air Force professional courses including the supply officer course at the Air University. She is knowledgeable in writing and in human relations, and so thoroughly enjoys her job that she has never thought of retirement. Her work has been recognized with several Sustained Superior Performance awards and the Bronze Zero Defects award. Miss Lindsay is actively interested in politics and is an enthusiastic tourist. She likes world fairs and wants to go around the world. A special interest is mineralogy and the beautiful jewelry made from local and foreign gemstones are a hobby. "Some day I mean to take up oil painting," she confessed. "As it is I take my acrylic paints along on trips and do landscapes." She is an active member of the Federal Woman's Club, and was treasurer for the Ohio. It is noteworthy that Miss Lindsay processed 97 Engineering Change Proposals last year. Every major piece of equipment was modified and reidentified and applicable records were updated with 100 per cent accuracy, officials said. Leah has traveled for the Air Force from coast to coast on provisioning trips to contractors and to briefings at Hq USAF and Hq AFLC. She still considers herself a Supply worker, because from 1946 to 1959 she was employed in the Distribution Directorate and still works with supply terminology. It was the summer after Pearl Harbor that Leah, a graduate of Wasatch High School in Heber City, was in accepted for a position as an Instrument Repair. At the end of World War II she transferred to a clerical position at what is now Redistribution and Marketing, and assisted in the disposition of war assets. In 1951 she was promoted to general supply clerk in Inspection and Research, eventually becoming a under-storekeep- he A ( er his excellent school's dramatic program.
