On Wednesday, at the JBT Headquarters in Warwick, Rhode Island, industry leaders, staff and the family of Nat Earle, turned out to participate in the dedication of the JBT Flagpole to honor the leadership of Nathaniel C. Earle, president of The Jewelers Board of Trade, 1989-2002.
"On April 4, 2002, The Jewelers Board of Trade lost a valuable leader whose insight and unwavering fervor ushered JBT into a new era of service to the jewelry industry. As the consummate teacher, Nat Earle led by example and proved the rewards of hard work and determination," JBT said in a statement.
Taking part in the dedication were Paul W. Nordt, III, chairman, Board of Directors; Dione D. Kenyon, president; and Anne Earle.
