Quinn took on the job as if he were born to it. He moved his family into the Victorian, open-porched-Governor's mansion on Washington Place. In his inaugural address, he told Hawaiians: "The realization that I assume this office not by the will of the people' prompts me to vow that I shall meet all the people of our islands and shall in fact be their Governor."

Blough is an alloy composed of shyness (he is still not well known in the steel industry on a personal basis), unpretentiousness and Pennsylvania Dutch stubbornness. He likes to sing hymns and old folk songs, browse in art galleries, cook in the old-fashioned kitchen of the Victorian, Hawley, Pa. house where he and his wife spend their weekends. He has two married twin daughters. He has the temperament and patience of an experienced trout caster (which he is), the fascination for things mechanical of an engineer (which he is not). He rarely goes on vacation, but likes to stroll...
