Jay R. “Dick” Gorman's favorite saying "That is really dumb"; still rings in everyone's ears that knew him. Dick received his higher education at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He earned both his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in architecture. A dedicated officer in the U.S Corp of Engineers from 1955-63, he moved on to Kaiser Gypsum Co., in Long Beach and was responsible for promoting the product line in California, Arizona and Nevada. Dick met Walt Pruter at Kaiser Gypsum Co. and they worked side by side for the rest of Walt’s career. Dick took over as Director of Technical Services for the Plastering Information Bureau in 1965. It was a division of the Southern California Plastering Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to the upgrading and the promulgation of lath and plaster construction in the Southern California area.
