this is an interesting choice, and maybe provides some savings, McRae will get a boost, but maybe not as much as paying two assistants.

the interesting aspect is that Cursty's role just really became even more critical, being the only woman on the staff.

the influence of the MVB program and Knipe on all this is pretty obvious

not sure having that dual role is 'optimum', dedicated would always be preferrable, it's manageable, however nothing was worse than the previously having two full time jobs like the prior arraingment and the hubby-wife lacked 'independence'.
