worked nearly three decades as editor and
publisher of the association's official magazines, Plastering Industries and Walls &
Ceilings. Clay passed away on May 17, 1974,

Frank J. Krafft and Gerold B. Reed Jr.
Frank J. Krafft of Krafft-Murphy Company,
Alexandria, Va., and Gerold B. Reed Jr. of
Eastern Dry-Wall Associates Inc., Lowell,
Mass., were "the two men considered most
responsible for the successful consolidation
of iaWCC and GDCI," says Construction
Dimensions.
Krafft was iaWCC president from 1973 to
1974. In 1975, at the annual convention in
Honolulu, he was given a standing ovation
for his consolidation efforts. Reed served
as GDCI president from 1968 to 1969. At

age 17. Three years later, he was running
the family's lathing and plastering business.
A lover of hunting, snowmobiling and piloting aircraft, Arsena was deliberate and
unafraid to face challenge. He began diversifying his company's services in the early
1950s. "We deliberately started small and
kept impeccable job cost records on every
operation," Arsena says.
He told Construction Dimensions in
1975 that change in the industry was just
