Mr. Roberts:

In accordance with instructions from Mr. Borough, I am submitting below an outline of my education and experience as a mechanical engineer.
I received my education in the following Brooklyn schools; Adelphi Academy and the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.
I afterwards took a special course in sugar house work at the Audubon Sugar School, New Orleans, La.
Worked on sugar plantations in Louisiana and Cuba on designing and construction of sugar houses for about five years and for ten years I had charge of the manufacturing of sugar at various plants, employing upwards of three men.

I might mention that I can speak and write Spanish fluently.
From 1907 to 1909 I was employed by the General Fireproofing Co. in their New York office as sales engineer designing and selling special steel filing equipment and superintending the installation of same.
From 1909 to 1920 I was employed by the Berger Mfg.Co. as sales manager in their New York office selling sheet metal building material including steel filing equipment.

In 1920 I organized Williams & Record, Inc., and was its president from the start until 1929. We maintained a manufacturing and assembling plant at Long Island City.
Our business consisted in furnishing and installing, as sub-contractors, special steel equipment in over 300 hundred public schools in the various boroughs in New York City, hospitals, court houses, jails and various other buildings.

From Alice Ayer Williams:
Ramon was an exceptional person and loved so much by us all that I know you will enjoy a review of a few incidents in his life.
He received his education at Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N.Y. and Cornell University, N.Y. State and was a member of Psi Upsilon Fraternity. After college he was a year with A. H. Bull Steamship Company, as Supercargo and had some interesting experiences on the many trips to southern ports. He started his Wall Street career with the firm of Tucker Anthony and Company, members of the N.Y. and Boston Stock Exchanges and N.Y. Curb Exchange. He became a partner and was Representative of the firm on the floor of the Curb Exchange.
He was a member of Nassau Country Club, Heights Casino, Cornell Club and Squadron A, ex-member Association and former member of the N.Y. Yacht Club. He was an enthusiastic yachtsman and enjoyed sports of all kinds.
During the 1st World War he served as Ensign in the United States Naval Reserve Force for eighteen months. He became an authority on Naval Navigation and wrote several books on the subject. Worked on the second revision of the Mixter Primer of Navigation and was author of the third revision of the "Standard Navy Text."
When he was still in High School a company was organized to train teachers and older boys and Ramon was elected Captain. He had spent the summer at the Platsburg Army Training Camp, so was well able to take over and did such a fine job that the Company received commendation from several sources and I was told by Dr. Alder, the Principal, that they brought enthusiastic applause from the grand-stand in the big New York Parade.
[BOLD:]HERE ARE A COUPLE OF INSERTS[:BOLD]
I am putting inserts from a couple of wonderful letters I received at his death which will show how much he was admired by those who know him.
The following is from RICE BREWSTER:
"Dear Mrs. Williams:
I want you to know how much we, who knew Ra, loved and admired him. His cheerful friendliness and keen sense of humor always made it a delight to be with him. It is impossible for me to picture him in any other mood.
In appearance as well as in spirit he seemed to retain the fresh enthusiasm of youth."
From Felice Mixter - now - Mrs. FINDLEY DOWNS:
"Dear Mrs. Williams:
I had always the greatest admiration for Ra and vast respect for his ability and all his wonderful qualifications.
He was always the same, the most poised, the most balanced and delightful person, with a great capacity for doing the work he had undertaken in the most efficient way.
His brilliance and personal charm won the devotion of all those who worked with him and we shall all miss him immeasurably even tho' the particular job was finished and brilliantly so by him."

Biography:
From Catharine Scholtz Labine:
A Gift of Art: memories of Angela W. Scholtz
23 January 2010
Good afternoon.
It's not news that Grandma Angela was a talented woman. We've been in awe of her creations throughout the years. She had many, many passions: her miniatures, her painting, her prints, athletics…and she carried it off with a magical quality. There is a reason for this, and perhaps it was Grandma's secret ingredient. As involved as she was with her pursuits, she was fascinated by other people's interests. She had a way of finding out what someone liked to do. She'd either know who that person should meet, or she would figure out another way of encouraging them. In that manner, Grandma was like her mother, Alice, who would go to great lengths to celebrate others' accomplishments. Just ask my brother, Bill, about the poem Alice wrote for him when he was only eight and caught his very first fish.
Grandma Angela would often ask what her great-grandkids were thinking and doing. She wanted pictures, but never portraits…only photographs of them doing what they love most. And, knowing mine is a family of writers, she asked me to send stories the kids had written. Amongst others, I sent a story that my son, Mike, wrote about an adventure his Grandpa Andy and Andy's brother, Fred, had in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey during World War II. Dad, Fred and a friend traveled by train so they could sail in a regatta, the Atlantic Coast Lightning Championships. They were young, and in their innocence decided to spend an afternoon before the races hanging out on the beach. Well, there was a war on, the beach was closed, and when the Coast Guard came around to pick them up, having the name "Scholtz" was no advantage. In Grandma's note to Mike in which she related her impressions of the story, she wrote: I was so engrossed…I desperately wanted to know how it would end. Mike thought that was funny since she was Andy's and Fred's mom, of course she knew everything turned out okay. I know, though, that Mike felt honored by her remarks because Grandma was so willing to be swept up by the telling of a story she knew well.
Grandma and Grandpa lived on Leeward Lane in Riverside for over 40 years. My favorite room in that house was their living room. There was always something creative going on, whether it was Grandma's miniature period pieces on display, or Grandpa building his model ships. When we were very young, Grandma would have the grandchildren gather around the armchair so Alice could recite poetry and tell us stories. Those words had us transported.
So, for Grandma, who took enormous delight in encouraging the imagination of a child, and for my dad, my brothers and my cousins who will remember this well, I'll read a familiar poem:
The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are, you are,
What a beautiful Pussy you are."
Pussy said to the Owl "You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing.
O let us be married, too long we have tarried;
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows,
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose, his nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling your ring?"
Said the Piggy, "I will"
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon.
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand.
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
I love you, Grandma.

Angela W. Scholtz 01/19/10
Angela W. Scholtz died quietly in her sleep on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2010 in Essex. She was born on May 13, 1907, daughter of George and Alice Williams, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
During her long and prodigious life, she enjoyed participating in diverse activities. In her youth, she loved competitive swimming. While still in her teens, she won several New York State freestyle championships, and she took great pride in having once raced against Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel.
Angela Scholtz was a graduate of Packer Collegiate Institute, Class of 1927, in Brooklyn. In that same year, she married J. Henry Scholtz, Jr., also a Brooklyn resident. As a young mother during the 1930s, she continued to follow her love of competitive athletics on the tennis courts of Old Greenwich and Riverside, while raising two sons.
When her sons became interested in sailboat racing, she also learned to sail and got the entire family to participate in the sport together. She crewed on several of the family's racing sailboats. She also raced her own single-handed dinghy at Riverside Yacht Club during the summer season as well as the winter frostbite racing season. At the time of her death she was a member of the Riverside Yacht Club and the New York Yacht Club.
Angela Scholtz loved artistic and creative endeavors. For many years, she designed and printed her own Christmas cards using monotype imaging. She also became interested in the construction of miniature period rooms. Angela was active in local and national miniature associations. She was commissioned to design and build a whimsical miniature historical model of the town of Greenwich for the 350th anniversary of the founding of Greenwich. She donated the model village to Essex Meadows Life Care Retirement Community in Essex, where she lived for the past 18 years.
Angela Scholtz was predeceased by her husband and by a son, Frederick H. Scholtz. She is survived by her son, Andrew A. Scholtz, and Claudia B. Scholtz of Naples, Fla.; her daughter-in-law, Sally K.
