No. 2 tracts men to him that his organization becomes a team ? Kenneth Royall, former secre tary of the army, declared that the "best qualities of each type" were fused and merged in Mr. Thorpe. "He was kindly but determin ed. He inspired loyalty but his associates knew he expected re sults. He moved with the ease of . the perfect gentleman he was, but did so without losing one whit of the true steel in his make-up." In Western North Carolina, and among the people of West ern North Carolina, the speak er said, Mr. Thorpe found his true ivche. Here he inaugurated a pro;' am for developming the natural resources of this region. 'Here around us is one of these projects ? born in his im aginative mind, carried forward by him through contests and difficulties, and linally complet ed in his life-time as one of the uniquely outstanding power developments of this country". Speaking on "Thorpe Develop ment", Frank L. Magee, vice president and general' produc tion manager of the Aluminum Company of America, told of Mr. Thorpe's achievements ? in Mexico, in New York state, in j Piedmont North Carolina, anu j finally in this region? as a rep resentative of the Aluminum company.

At the conclusion of his talk, j Mr. Magee asked Jack Forgrave j Thorpe and Foster Broton Thorpe, young grandsons of the man whose memory was being honored, to unveil the plaque.
