Mr. and Mrs. Johnston in Jerusalem
Retirement Can Be Exciting
Retirement for many ex-
Fieldcresters has meant a full
life of travel and excitement.
Sometimes, there’s a bit too
much excitement, as is
demonstrated by the experience
of Randolph C. Johnston, a
retired divisional vice president
of the Fieldcrest Marketing
Division, and his wife, Anita.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1
East, the Johnston’s arrival in
Israel coincided with the
shooting down of 13 Syrian
planes and they also had a front
row seat for Israeli troop move
ment to the Syrian border, only
30 miles away. All in all, it
proved to be a very exciting trip.
Happily, the Johnstons
arrived home safe and sound. As
proof, they sent the photo shown
of what Mr. Johnston calls the
“Scottish Brigade” of the Israeli
army. In reality, it is of Mr. and
Mrs. Johnston in Jerusalem.
Mr. Johnston was with
Fieldcrest for more than 30
years, serving in the latter years
as regional manager of the Lake
States Region.
Laugh A Little
As the guest was leaving the
small village hotel, he suddenly
turned to the not-too-bright-look-
ing boy leaning against the desk.
“Quick son,” he called, “run
up to Room 30 and see if I left my
brief case on the dresser. Hurry!
my train leaves in minutes.”
A few minutes later, the boy
rushed back. “Yes, sir,” he
panted. “It’s there all right.”

Hill Named Section Foreman
Correction
When Odessa F. Turner
retired January 1, she was
incorrectly listed in The Mill
Whistle as having worked at the
Karastan Rug Mill. She retired
from the Fieldale Towel Mill and
should have been so listed. She
had 25 years of continuous
service at the Fieldale plant, all
of the time in the Sewing
Department. The Mill Whistle is
glad to make this correction.
C. Richard Hill, Jr. has been
named a section foreman in
Woolen System Picking and
Dyeing at the Blanket Greige
Mill.
Mr. Hill joined Fieldcrest in
1962 as an inspector server at the
Bedspread Mill. After working
as a shearer tender and
production control clerk at that
mill he became a supervisory
trainee at the Blanket Greige
Mill in 1968, and an assistant
foreman in 1969.
He became a management
trainee later in 1969 at the
Blanket Finishing Mill, and a
