 McGinnis was principal of the NYPO from 1948 - 1960. 
 
 
 
Drucker joined the NYPO in 1948 at the age of 19. At that time the section was: 
 
Robert McGinnis - principal 
Stanley Drucker - assistant principal and Eb 
Napolean Cerminara - 2nd clarinet 
Leonard Schaller - bass clarinet  
 
In the summer of 1960, McGinnis took a professorship at Indiana, retired from the NYPO and Drucker became principal.
