Wedding of the year
Sometimes, H&S, you're all Heart and
Soul, For example, once upon a time
there were two accountants. The man
was a principal on the audits of Grace
(Episcopal) Cathedral of San Fran-cisco
and the Protestant Episcopal Dio-cese
of California. The girl was the ac-countant
in charge on both audits.
Then one day they were married in
Grace Cathedral. And, as in all story-book
weddings, they were attended by
a great retinue, drawn (appropriately)
from their colleagues.
When Donna Johnson, accountant
in the H&S San Francisco Office, be-came
the bride of Chuck Fuller, princi-pal,
on the afternoon of August 8,
Thomas J. Graves gave her in marriage,
Mr. Graves is partner in charge of the
San Francisco Office. The Rev. William
Geisler performed the ceremony in the
cathedral's main sanctuary. Father
Geisler, a living symbol of a man who
multiplied his talents according to the
Biblical edict, is a former H&S man and
now an ordained Episcopal priest and
controller of the California diocese.
The other attendants had H&S or
family ties to the bridal couple. Chuck's
best man was his brother, M, DeLano
Fuller, Jr., a partner in a law firm that
is an H&S client. Donna's matron of
honor was Chuck's sister, Elizabeth
Fuller Collins. Her six bridesmaids in-cluded
Susan Cold, an H&S staff ac-countant
(also married to an H&S
man), and three H&S wives.
Among the eight ushers were Gary
R. West, partner; Ronald P. Foltz and
Ronald W. Shepherd, principals; Law-rence
L. Leonard, MAS manager;
Richard J. Fineberg and David E. Per-otti,
seniors; and Dennis Wu, staff ac-countant.
After the ceremony, the guests
sipped champagne and ate hors
d'oeuvres in the crypt of the cathedral.
They were served by four H&S staff
accountants: Betty Mohr, Carol Bruce,
Betty Barker and Lynda Herod.
As Chuck gained a wife, H&S was
not to lose an accountant. Donna said
she planned to "continue working in-definitely"
in her special interests of
auditing public utilities, and in the use
of Auditape and other computer appli-cations
in auditing. A 1968 graduate of
Iowa State University's honors pro-gram,
she has passed the CPA exam.
Chuck, who has been a principal
since 1967, received AB and MBA de-grees
from Stanford, served three years
of active duty in the Air Force and now
holds the rank of major in the Air Na-tional
Guard.
Donna said that her "main interest
(other than Chuck and H&S) is ski-ing,"
though she has had to retire tem-porarily
from active membership in an
H&S ski group. She was injured when a
ski lift on which she was riding broke.
But like any love story worth the name,
this had its happy ending. It was while
Donna was in the hospital in traction
that Chuck proposed.
Where there's HOPE...
Having traveled in the back bush coun-try
of Haiti to observe inventories, C.
Dave Jennings now of H&S Phoenix
seems a natural choice to help set up
an accounting system at Project HOPE's
new mission deep in the rugged Indian
country of northeastern Arizona.
HOPE (Health Opportunity for Peo-ple
Everywhere) is best known for its
gleaming white hospital ship that has
sailed to four continents in its decade
of bringing medical treatment and skills
to millions. HOPE is the chief activity
of the People-to-PeopIe Health Found-ation,
an independent, nonprofit cor-poration
supported mainly by private
donations. It needs about six million
dollars a year to operate the ship and
some new land-based projects in this
country, including one to teach the
Navajo Indians how to run a hospital.
HOPE's plan is that in five years the
Navajos can take over Sage Memorial
Hospital on their reservation.
They're taking over the accounting
part of the hospital in just one year,
Dave says, because "the Navajo girls
hired as accounting clerks are extreme-ly
adept bookkeepers even though they
have had no previous experience in
double entry bookkeeping. I seldom
needed to explain a procedure more
than once. On top of that, most Navajos
speak good English."
Still, setting up the accounting sys-tem
and doing the preliminary work
required that Dave make twelve trips
in the past year to the hospital site at
