Remarks from Mr. Newman's In Memoriam Registry Sponsor
Mr. Raymond Reed sponsored Mr. Newman for the In Memoriam Registry and shared the following remarks about him...
"I wish to express my deepest sympathies at the passing of Art Newman. I knew him as my station chief in Cheltenham, England.
He did a great job in looking after a diverse personnel group and their families. He was a manager who worked as much for his people as they did for him, and he helped make our tours a fun and productive time. I remember him with respect and affection. ~ Ray
