Special:Badtitle/NS90:User talk:Hjp3/Tulsa Section History

19 Mar 2014 I found this page while doing a google search for 'ieee tulsa'. It's one of the top hits. I corrected a broken link to the section's website and used the URL redirection subdomain of tulsa.ieeer5.org which points to Tulsa's webinabox site. I also noticed that one of Tulsa's early AIEE chairmen was H P Dougherty. Could this be the same H P Dougherty who was one of the first chairmen of the St. Louis Section? It most likely was. The 1940 federal census shows an H Dougherty, 4yrs college, maintenance supervisor, Telephone industry, b abt 1902, m Alice, living in Tulsa OK. In 1930 he is living in Oklahoma City with wife Alice where he was Plant Chief for the Telephone Co. He was a grad of Texas A&M class of 1922. Being a telephone company engineer it is possible he was transferred to St. Louis in time to be an early chairman of IEEE St. Louis Section. According to a Dougherty family tree he was b 14 Feb 1901, d 13 Dec 1969. He is buried with his wife Alice in Resurrection Cemetery in Oklahoma City.
