- A man named Charles E. Tompkins appears on First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s 1943 staff Christmas list as a White House engineer. However, the words “transferred” and “replaced” are handwritten next to his name, suggesting he had departed that year. Further details about his life and career are limited at this time. (1)
