I coordinated with John when I, too, worked in the Department of Labor in the Division of Occupational Analysis. We researched and subsequently published the Dictionary of Occupational Titles which was used by Counselors in the United States Employment Service offices throughout the the country. It was a pleasure working with John--he knew so much about the program.
