On his seventeenth birthday Emory joined the U.S. Navy and served his country on the USS Mispillion (A fleet oil tanker). They traveled through the Panama Canal to join the Seventh Fleet in the Pacific Ocean. After a year of service Emory was honorably discharged. He returned to Elmira to finish his education, graduating from EFA in 1947. He was working for the A&P Company while attending the Jean Summers Business School. Emory and his brother Albert joined the Navel Reserves Unit stationed in the Brooklyn Navy Yard where he was responsible for financial and bookkeeping records. He was later transferred to the Naval Air Station in Alameda California where he returned to reserve status. Emory went to work for Westinghouse in the accounting department at the facility in Horseheads. Little did he know that this job would lead to meeting his wife. Margaret worked for Westinghouse where both Margaret and Emory bowled for the company teams. Emory asked Margaret for a date and they were married for 63 years. Emory worked for Westinghouse for 36 years at many different locations including Bath NY, Thousand Oaks CA, Pittsburgh PA, Sharon PA, and Bristol VA to name a few. During that time, he continued his education taking courses through several colleges including Elmira College. He continuously trained through many seminars offered through Westinghouse. He returned to the Horseheads plant in 1979 as a Division Comptroller with part of his responsibilities included working with off-shore accounts. He was able to include his wife, Margaret, on many of his trips to places such as London and Ireland where she served as a hostess. He retired from Westinghouse in 1988, returning as a consultant for Westinghouse and Toshiba Display through 2000. 1979 was the birth of the LPGA Corning Classis which was supported by Westinghouse. Both Margaret and Emory signed on as volunteers and continued that service through 2005. Emory and Margaret worked on many different committees. Emory served as Chair of the Transportation Committee for the last 7 years of his volunteer services. In 2002, Emory was named Corning Classic Volunteer of the Year, an honor he cherished. Emory and Margaret were members of Corning Country Club where Emory served on the Board of Trustees, his final 2 years as President. When Emory was transferred to the many locations for work, he always joined the local Catholic Church where he was asked to share his expertise serving on the Finance Committee for the Catholic Schools as well as for the churches. He would seek out and join the local country club so he could enjoy his favorite pastime, golfing. He continued to golf on a regular basis until he could no longer play the caliber of golf he enjoyed. As a part of his employment Emory was able to golf with his customers on such courses as Pebble Beach, Spy Glass, and Harbour Town. Family and friends are invited to McInerny Funeral Home, 502 W.

BOULET James J., Jr.
Executive Director of English First, Springfield, VA, died January 16, 2009 in Alexandria, VA. He was laid to rest on June 17, 2009 in St. Mary Our Mother Cemetery in Horseheads.  Published in the Star-Gazette on 7/12/2009

The freedom movement lost a valuable ally way too soon a couple weeks ago. James J. Boulet, Jr., executive director of English First and creator of watchdog web sites such as EEOCWatch.com and KeepRushOnTheAir.com, died of cancer on Jan. 16 at the age of 50.  Jim’s main focus at English First was stopping bilingualism in public policy. The group didn’t take positions on immigration issues, instead focusing on the dangers of a balkanized society that multilingual policies would lead to. His efforts were praised by well known proponents of both open immigration and assimilation, such as columnist Linda Chavez and National Review’s John J. Miller, and the English First web site is emblazoned with the torch of the Statue of Liberty. “Our symbol is the Statue of Liberty torch capturing the spirit of immigrants who learned English and became full members of American society.”  supported initiatives making English the official language of government, but not private businesses or associations, which is a stance that libertarians can go either way on. But Jim also dug through stautes and regulations to warn about bilingual mandates on the private sector, an effort where free-market groups, including CEI, joined him.  For instance, Jim and I exposed a bill from from then-Sen. Paul Sarbanes of Sarbanes-Oxley fame (or infamy) that would mandate documents in multiple languages that stores offering money transfers would have to create and produce. “The cost of complying with this is going to make Sarbanes-Oxley seem like chicken feed,” he told me for an article I wrote about the bill for Human Events. Perhaps because of this exposure, the Sarbanes bill went nowhere.  Jim would also expose the Equal Employment Oppotunity Commission’s intrusive mandates that increasingly prevent private employers from making English skills a job requirement or requiring an English to be spoken in their workplaces. A notorious example Jim brought to light was when the Bush EEOC actually went after the Salvation Army for firing employees who refused to learn English.  And Jim had the foresight last year to recognize the danger of the FCC’s proposed “localism” rule as a back-door Fairness Doctrine that could be used to silence talk radio. His started the web site with the catchy title KeepRushOnTheAir.com, which feautured a petition against the regulation and links to research on the localism rule, such as an American Spectator article written by me and CEI technology fellow Alex Harris on the issue.  Jim also had the great qualities of being a good listener to the ideas of different groups and of bringing a cheerful disposition to an ideological fight. He will greatly be missed.
