• Notes

  Source: E-mail notes from Walter Samuel Crewson's son, Walter Frederick John Crewson, 1-20-00. Walter Samuel "Buddy" Crewson was born 1-1-1903 in Sebring, Ohio in his parent's home. Walter worked in the pottery factory in Sebring until he went to college. Because his mother, Lily Mae Rigby Crewson, had saved money for college, he went to Kent State where he excelled academically in spite of working nights in a tire factory. At Kent State University he earned a BS degree in Geography, then, with a scholarship,went on to earn a MS degree in Economics at the University of Chicago. Years later he earned a doctorate degree in Education from New York University where he had the highest grade point average in the history of the school, evidenced by a plaque in the lobby of the school. Walter Samuel started out as a one room school teacher in Navarre, Ohio. Then he taught high school economics in Massillon, Ohio where his wife, Dorothy Doxsee was an English teacher and his son, Walter Frederick John Crewson was born. He was soon promoted to principal of Massillon High School, then to Superintendent of schools in Barberton, Ohio, Hamilton, Ohio and eventually, Levittown, New York. He was invited to work in Albany, New York for Governor Rockefeller and later accepted the position of Associate commissioner of Education for the State of New York, a position he held for 13 years, 1956-1969. Walter Samuel retired in La Jolla, California. He died at age 85 in 1988 after a bad crash with a group of motorcycles in California.
