[[underlined]] Cassius M. Davis [[/underlined]]: "Cash" Davis had been another of Potter's assistants and was a substation man as well as a sort of administrator, handling the budgets and the personnel records, raises, secretary and stenographer problems, etc. He was a very good dresser, liking well-cut English tweeds. He was a smooth guy and made speeches here and there, particularly AIEE kinds of things. He was also supposed to be a good application engineer. But my criticism of Cash was that you just couldn't get any help from him. You'd go to him with a problem but you'd leave empty-handed. Maybe it was because my problems were usually locomotive problems and he was a substation expert. But he was an unsatisfactory boss in this respect. He was a pleasant man, however, and I liked him well enough. I remember getting my first lead on his function when I was about to make my first trip for TED and asked Brandenstein how I went about getting a cash advance; to whom did I go? To which Brandy answered, "Why, you go to [[underline]] Cash [[/underline]]," and he gave me a characteristic Brandy laugh. And that was about all Cash ever meant to me as I recall it--the boss paperwork man. His wife was a more memorable person than he was--Marguerite--a big, strapping woman with a queer, gnarled shape that made her look like a tree at the timberline. She was an aspiring actress and took part in many productions at the Erie Playhouse and was quite successful at it. During the war, Marguerite got a job in a local factory and labored as a machine tool operator, I believe, to do her bit. They had a son, who didn't turn out too well I think, and twin daughters, one of whom was Ann Davis who became quite famous as a television actress and is still acting on TV and on stage as far as I know. Along in the 30's somewhere, Cash was afflicted with a detached retina and had surgery here in Erie, I believe. It wasn't too long after retinal reattachment surgery had been developed or Cash would have lost the sight of that eye. But I recall hearing the story of how Cash had to lie absolutely immobile as far as his head was concerned, for some two or three weeks, his head anchored between sandbags. When Cash retired, I think he went to California and I have a vague remembrance of hearing that toward the end, he got pretty fuzzy in the head. But I guess that's liable to happen to anyone if they live long enough.

I don't know why I didn't include Henry Guy in the list of "Big Bosses"  because he and I did as much together as anyone, in fact, perhaps more and I succeeded him as assistant manager after he retired in 1945. So here is something in regard to him:

[[underlined]] Henry I. Guy [[/underlined]]: Henry was a Virginia gentleman, hailing from Bedford, Walt Harris' home town also. However, whereas Walt came from genteel but poor folks, Henry came from genteel and reasonably comfortable folks judging from the family
