Oscar Jean Louis Hiestand, né 29-11-1927 GE, décédé le 19 mai 2002 à Genève.
Vor kurzem ist Oscar Hiestand, der Genfer mit Deutschschweizer Wurzeln, im Alter von 75 Jahren seinem langdauernden Krebsleiden erlegen. Oscar wurde 1973 als Profigewerkschafter Zentralsekretär des damaligen Typografenbundes (heute comedia). Ab diesem Datum und bis 1987 war er auch im SGB-Vorstand. Die Fusion zur GDP (1980), die den früheren Typografenbund und den Buchbinder- und Kartonageverbandvereinigte, prägte er entscheidend mit. Oscar galt während dieser Zeit als Vertreter der klassischen Sozialpartnerschaft. Erst nach seiner Ende der 80er Jahre durch Krankheiterzwungenen Frühpensionierung fand er zu seinen anarchistischen Wurzeln zurück. So verwunderte nicht, dass er sich in den 90er Jahren erneut engagierte, als Mitglied der Genfer Sektion von comedia resp. GDP und von deren Rentnerkommission. So werden wir ihn auch in Erinnerung behalten ­ als Menschen, der trotz Krankheit am aufrechten Gang festhielt.30.5.2002 SGB-Pressedienst

Orris Sidney "Sparks" Hiestand, 87, a lawyer who worked for the federal government and in private practice as a procurement lawyer, died of a heart attack Jan. 3 at Carriage Hill Rehabilitation Center in Bethesda, where he had lived since 1963. Mr. Hiestand worked for the old Atomic Energy Commission, first in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and later in Washington. In 1969, he became chief counsel for the first Congressional Commission on Government Procurement; its 1972 report spurred the creation of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy and made many recommendations for improving federal law and processes. In 1973, Mr. Hiestand joined the law firm of Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, where he continued his work in procurement law and Energy Department issues until his retirement as a partner in 1986. Mr. Hiestand was born in Tulsa, graduated from Indiana University and served in the European theater of World War II as an Army ommunications officer. His military awards included a Bronze Star. He enrolled at Northwestern University's law school after the war, graduating in 1947 at the top of his class and as editor of the law review. He immediately went to work for the AEC. Mr. Hiestand volunteered for the Procurement Round Table, where he served as a pro bono director emeritus. He published numerous articles in Public Contract Law Journal about federal procurement and acquisition policies and practices. "Sparks was a man of great dedication and intellectual accomplishment, who applied his skills to one of our government's fundamental and most important functions," said John Daniel, a colleague from Morgan, Lewis and the Procurement Round Table. "His influence on procurement law was substantial, bringing organization, transparency and efficiency to federal procurement practices, and will be felt for a long time to come." He enjoyed fishing ever since his days in Tennessee. Survivors include his wife of 62 years, Frances Emily Hiestand of Bethesda; three children, Emily Lucille Hiestand of Cambridge, Mass., Andrew Sidney Hiestand of King George, Va., and Partap Singh Khalsa of Herndon; three grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter.

Through the Years With Purpose and Delight By Patricia Sullivan, Washington Post Staff Writer
Early in her life, Frances Emily Watkins Hiestand worked at Chicago [Illinois] advertising agency Foote Cone & Belding, where she wrote breezy copy for the iconic "Which Twin Has the Toni?" campaign for home permanents. The campaign invited readers to guess which identical twin had a $15 professional coiffure and which used the $2 kit. It was a raging success, so much so that "Toni" became popular slang for all home permanents. Hiestand wore the accomplishment lightly, much as Toni's straight-haired (and thrifty) customers would be wearing their off-the-shelf permanents, according to the ad. Their tresses would be "so soft, so smooth, so natural looking . . . because Toni Creme Waving Solution waves the hair gently -- leaves it soft as silk with no frizziness, no dried-out brittleness, even on the first day." It was a glamorous time for a young woman from Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, and Birmingham [Alabama]. She had prepared for it by graduating from the University of Alabama and getting an MBA at Northwestern University in 1944. But for Hiestand, as for so many women of her generation, life was not entirely about a job, a career or a singular achievement. Work was just part of the mosaic of family, church, volunteerism and hobbies. "She gravitated to every beautiful thing, and her fascination with the world made her seem timeless," said Dorothy Dunn, whose son married Hiestand's daughter and who became a friend. "I remember just what a delight she was, just so easy to be with, totally warm and cordial and dear. . . . She had a marvelous sense of humor and also was open to new ideas." While she lived the big-city life, she wrote letters to the good-looking Army captain she had picked out of a trio gathered beneath her college sorority's balcony. She said she fell in love with Capt. O.S. "Sparks" Hiestand through the beautiful letters he wrote from Europe during World War II. At Wrigley Field in 1945, the newly discharged soldier turned to his faithful correspondent and asked her to marry him. Frances Emily Watkins said yes. It was a stellar year for Chicago Cubs fans, too; 1945 was the last year that the team won a National League championship and played in the World Series. After they wed in 1946, they moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where her husband worked for the Atomic Energy Commission. Hiestand had children, volunteered for her church and founded a club for the housewives left alone when their husbands headed off to work and the children to school. "My mother loved being a mother and a wife," said her daughter, Emily Hiestand, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. "Her only firm rules were church on Sundays and good table manners every day. She made sure that her children learned to swim, pick blackberries, sit up straight and tie knots. . . . She regularly took her children to visit their Tuscaloosa relatives, introducing them to a family heritage of storytelling, music-making and kinship, and, it must be admitted, more deep-fried cuisine than some experts might recommend." She planted a garden of indigenous wildflowers, which her friends called "Emily's weed garden." She began to watch birds, an avocation that grew over time as she learned the habits of many Eastern birds from the mountains of Tennessee to her Bethesda back yard to her eventual winter habitat of Sanibel Island, Fla. Her husband's work took the family to Bethesda [Maryland] in 1963, where she chose the Greenwich Forest neighborhood for its mature trees, which served as a bird sanctuary. As her children grew up and left the household (in addition to her daughter, she had two sons, Andrew Sidney Hiestand of King George, Virginia, and Partap Singh Khalsa of Herndon [Virginia], and eventually three grandchildren and a great-granddaughter), she returned to paid employment and founded Publication Services, a communications consulting firm. In 1982, she became executive director of the National Contract Management Association, a job she held for three years. In 1990, Hiestand took vows as an elder of Bethesda [Maryland] Presbyterian Church, where she had edited the church newsletter. She also taught English to recent immigrants and new citizens. A long-standing wish to visit China was thwarted by frail health, but many of her students were Chinese, and Hiestand said with delight, "It seemed that China had come to me." Her husband of 62 years died January 3 [2008]. She died, at 86, of a heart attack February 27 [2008], at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda [Maryland].
