As a result of our improvement program after some years we had Bud properly dressed, tutored in speed reading and public speaking, driving a company car, a member of The Pacific-Union Club, and clearly headed for the top of the corporate ladder. The question arose as to whether the name "Bud" was appropriate for one so destined. I never could trace the origins of this ground swell to rename him. Bev denies any responsibility and only our associates in Cyprus Mines took the bait and began to call him "Murray." But the Cyprus people were just getting over addressing each other as "Mr.". Nothing caught fire elsewhere. "Alexander" suggested a ragtime band, "Murray" a dance studio, and initials might have been OK for "W.H." or "E.O." but "A.M." sounded like a time of day. "Bud" may not have the ring of a majestic name like Holmes 'A Court but "Bud" he was and "Bud" he remains because his every action over the years gave the name and the man a special meaning to all of us privileged to work with him. 4.
