My 58 Years at the MRICD: Where have they gone?

摘要

Armed with a B.S. in zoology (1947) and a M.S. in Physiology (1949) I began job hunting. I applied for an opening advertised at The Edgewood Army Chemical Center. The application was returned marked "Does Not Qualify". I was Curious as to why did I not qualify? Not willing to accept their decision, I wrote to the Civil Service Board requesting an explanation. I then received a revised rating of 70, just enough to qualify for an opening at the Biomedical Research Laboratory (BML).
