However he did marry and had a family of several children. I have met members of the family and they may now be in North Andover, Mass. Having seen the orignal discharge papers of George Shelnutt, it is now my belief that he settled first in the Carolina's since discharge had the Seal Of State of South Carolina and not Virginia. C.

A former New Hamphire Recreation Director and YMCA Official has been appointed program director of Boston's University, new George Sherman University Union, according to an announcement by Staton R. Curtis, director of the Union and Dean of men at the University. Clarence B. Shelnutt of Amhert, Mass., currently serving as program coordinator of the Student Union at the University of Massachusetts, assumed his duties on Monday Jan 7, a few months before the opening of the new $4.400.000 Sherman University Union, largest building of it's kind in New England.
Dean Curtis said that Mr. Shelnutt will be responsible for coordination of a University-wide program of cultural, social, recreational and out-of-class activities in conjunction with the new Union. "By beginning in January, he will be able to develop an effective program by the time the Union facilities are opened," the Dean explained. Mr Shelnutt has held his present post at the University of Massachusetts since 1950.
He has also served as the director of University's summer school activities program.

The Amherst man holds an Outstanding Achievement Award from the National Recreation Association, in recognition of outstanding service he rendered on the New England Council of that organization.
Recently, University of Massachusetts students granted him the top honor, students of that school can confer upon a faculty member, by voting him to membership in Delphia, an honorary society for persons who have made outstanding contributions to the well-being of the college community.
