Blogger Black Buzz received this letter from the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania State Civil Service Commission in 1974 for service as an Oral Examiner of Candidates for various Field Investigators positions within the States Civil Service Commission.

Mr. Ronald B. Saunders
Human Relations Representative II

Pittsburgh, Pa 15235

December 16, 1974


Dear Mr. Saunders:



You recently served as an oral examiner of candidates for Field Investigator. The oral examination is an essential part of their evaluation.

The Civil Service Commissioners and I know that the effectiveness of the oral tests is directly dependent upon competence, impartiality and integrity of the examiners. We genuinely appreciate your contribution of these qualities to the service of the Commonwealth.

Sincerely yours

Richard A. Rosenberry

Executive Director


* Note that Ronald B. Saunders was recommended to be an oral examiner by the former Pittsburgh Steeler running back James Brumfield, who was an employee of the Pittsburgh Regional Office of the Pennsylvania State Civil Service Commission. Mr. Brumfield was also an outstanding running back at Elizabeth Forward high school, and an Honorable-Mention All American running back At Indiana St, which is the same school that the famous kid from French Lick Indiana Larry Bird honed his basketball skills.
Jimmy Brumfield also played on my Flag Football team in the Allegheny County Flag Football League, which was headed by the former Steeler and Green Bay Packer Lloyd Voss. My Flag Football team also had two great Peabody high school standouts Vernon Philips and Dwayne Ashley.
Vernon Philips is retired from the Pittsburgh Public Schools and he was a longtime Principal at Peabody high School. Dwayne Ashley is the present Director of the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Parks, and Recreation.
