of Logopedics was adopted as our unified service project in 1964. It was
Rupe's suggestion, in 1966, that an "O.C. Cash Memorial Fund" be permanently
established at the Institute . . . the money was to be used in the field
of musical therapy.
In his spare time, Hall began painting as a hobby and had numerous showings at the Philbrook Art Center in Tulsa. Several of his original works were auctioned off for Logopedics at International conventions. In 1959 at the Mid-Winter Meeting in El Paso, Hall was on hand to witness the unveiling of his official portrait expertly done by Tulsa artist and barbershopper Delbert Jackson. The portrait currently hangs in a place of honor over the fireplace in the Past Presidents room in Harmony Hail. |
In 1972, after a four month battle with cancer, Rupert Hail
passed away on March 14, 1972 at the age of 70.
He was a former director of Tulsa's Community State Bank, past president of the Oklahoma Mortgage Bankers Association, and a trustee of the Oklahoma Osteopathic Hospital. He was also a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, the Tulsa Club and the Oklahoma, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois Bar Associations and the only "life member" of the International Board. Services were held at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa March 16,1972. When speaking of his love for the society, he cited this as one reason for the success of the organization. . . "we sang together, laughed together. Seldom did we know of a man's business life or his personal affairs . . . we only knew him as a good harmony singer". |
