He ini Radio News Service 5/8/46 Farewell to Hutch (An editorial which appeared in "Relay", R. C. A. Communications Magazine, following the death of Raymond D. Hutchens, its editor. ) This is "Hutch’s" last issue of Relay Here in the pages of our family magazine which he made so interesting for all of us, are the traits of his personality, the handiwork of his spirit and his mind. * * * "Hutch" had a feeling for people. He established Relay , not as the conventional type house organ of a large corporation but as a medium of human interest to human beings. * * * Tne scope of his articles ranged from an expert’s techni¬ cal explanation of the intricacies of the 7-unit printer to an avid and bubbling discourse on how to open oysters by radio, an article titled, "Ever Tune in on a Clam?" which was widely quoted by some of the nation’ s top humorists. This issue of Relay was made up by Hutch. This is the way he wanted it to look. No changes have been made other than to attempt some expression of sadness with the same simplicity and dig¬ nity which he would have used.
