Never wear Bermuda shorts if a photographer might be present.

Jefferson-Pilot Broadcasting was a planning company. There were countless meetings, retreats, sessions, conclaves and conferences. Want to know how many paper clips the company will buy five years out? Just look on page 867 of the current Strategic Plan. An exaggeration, of course, but the Crutchfield (and later Jorgenson) administration lived by The Plan.

This photo, taken about 1960, shows the management team at a pool-side meeting at Mr. Crutchfield's home. Note the symbolic ceramic rooster atop the pool house, crowing silently in tribute to 4XD's humble beginnings in a chicken house.

In these blowups, hover your mouse over the individual for his identity.
