TOBYHANNA — A second lieutenant assigned to Tobyhanna Army Depot in 1955 who rose to become the depot’s second deputy commander is among the first group to be inducted into the U.S. Army Communications–Electronics Command’s (CECOM) Hall of Fame.

Mount Pocono resident Mason Linn, who served as civilian executive assistant (or CEA, now called deputy commander) from 1970 to 1990, is one of five former Army officers and civilians inducted April 7. The CECOM event reflected great pride and distinction to unveil the newly created Hall of Fame at its headquarters on Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland.

Linn is one of only three individuals to hold the position as CEA/deputy commander since Tobyhanna was established in 1952. He retired from that position on Nov. 30, 1990, following more than 35 years of military and civilian service.

During his tenure as CEA, Linn drove the evolution of Tobyhanna from a regional supply and distribution organization to a worldwide operation as the U.S. Army’s largest facility for the repair, maintenance, overhaul and fabrication of communications and electronics equipment and systems.
