Of particular interest to you would be the structure
of the Programs Department, which included the
Education staff. In addition, you will want to notice
that the Floor Supervisor [Warren Gerard] and his
Floor Aide staff [which provided some programs
directly to the public] was located within the Public
Relations Department.
