Military Operations Research Society (MORS) Oral History Project Interview of Jerene E. Thomas

摘要

Oral Histories represent the recollections and opinions of the person interviewed, and not the official position of MORS. Omissions and errors in fact are corrected when possible, but every effort is made to present the interviewee's own words. Mrs. Jerene Thomas is the wife of the late Clayton J. Thomas, FS, MORS President from 1973 to 1974. The MORS Clayton Thomas Award was established in his honor in 1998. An oral history interview of Clayton Thomas was published in Military Operations Research, Volume 4, Number 2, 1999. This interview was conducted on April 8, 2015 with Mrs. Jerene Thomas and Dr. Bob Sheldon, FS in Ashburn, Virginia and Mr. Jim Bexfield, FS, participating via telephone. Mrs. Sherry Watkins, Mrs. Thomas's oldest daughter, assisted in editing and has added some of her own insightful comments.
