  • Milwaukee Road
    ,­ T E MARC GREEN: -30­ Marc Green, director of information services, retired on March 31, ending a distinguished ca­ reer of 39 years with the Milwaukee Road. For 36 of those years it would be no exaggeration to state that Marc served as the voice of the railroad. Marc joined the Milwaukee in 1936 in the Real Estate Department. He transferred to the Public Relations Department in 1939 as assist­ ant editor of the Milwaukee Road Magazine, one of the railroad industry's oldest employee pub­ lications. Marc became editor in 1940, a post he filled ably and creatively until 1958 when he was named director of publicity. He was appointed director of information services in 1972. During his long career Marc wrote literally millions of words about the Milwaukee Road. His positions in the Public Relations Department provided him with a vantage point afforded to few people who have worked for the railroad. In the magazine, annual reports, countless news releases and an endless procession of other publi­ cations Marc reported the activities of the Mil­ waukee Road during some of the most exciting years of its history. Marc was also active in various professional associations. He is a former president of the American Railroad Magazine Editors Associa­ tion (now the Association of Railroad Editors) ; a member of the Chicago Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America; a member of the Chicago Public Relations Clinic; and a member of the Railroad Public Relations Association. Those who had the privilege of associating with Marc Green know him as a talented writer, a keen observer of the times and a loyal and ded­ icated employee.
