  Retirement of Thomas S. (Tom) Strathairn as Big Island agent for Inter-

  As a token of his long service, Strathairn was presented with a gold watch 
by Kennedy. Presentation was made before a gathering of company directors, 
officials and veteran employees.
  Strathairn has been a member of the Hawaii county police commission and 
member and chairman of the liquor commission. He has a daughter, Miss Pamela 
Strathairn, a son, Dr. Thomas Scott Strathairn and a grandchild.
