Calkin former deputy director for the U.S. Department of State, began his service to his country in 1942 as organizations and propaganda analyst in the War Division in the Department of Justice. During World War II, he was an officer in the Military Intelligence Service of the War Department General Staff, and following the war he served on the National Archives for four years. In 1950, Mr. Calkin joined the Department of State as an archivist on the Records Management Staff, of which division he later became chief. For 27 years, he worked in a multitude of capacities within the Department, serving on the planning staff for the extension of the Department of State building, traveling to some 50 embassies and consulates in Europe and Asia to assist in the transfer of occupation functions from the armed forces to the Department of State, assisting in the development of new procedures for the issuance of visas, and providing guidance in records management and archival problems. George Crossette was the retired chief of the geographic research division of the National Geographic Society. Mr. Crossette joined National Geographic in 1938 as a researcher in its cartographic division. He directed the geographic research division from its formation in 1953 until he retired in 1972, and in that capacity was responsible for the accuracy of all geographic information in the society's magazine, books and other publications. He compiled and standardized statistical information on most of the world's physical features, from the lengths of rivers to the heights of mountains, and his reputation for extensive geographic knowledge often made him an arbiter of geographic disagreements for other organizations, such as newspapers, engineering firms and travel groups.
