Dear Gerry
Tony advantage
nor I had
Penna has come to the conclusion
so far as the Pittsburgh case is been members of the NAAC and in
that it would have been of some
concerned if neither Mr. Higham Mr. Higham's case EGNEP Boards
Although it will not affect the present situation Tony has recommended that it would be as well for Mr. Higham and me to resign from these and
other Boards which could conceivably be involved in future actions
You
will understand that the reason for this is to dissociate the Parent Company
as fully as possible from the operating companies and that it does not imply
any change whatever in the method of operation or the present responsibilities
of individuals concerned including yourself
The formal resignations will reach you in due course and I understand
that it will be necessary to amend the Articles to reduce the minimum number
of directors to three
In view of the other changes we are contemplating
and about which I wrote to you recently it would hardly seem appropriate
to appoint other directors at this time but it will of course be necessary
to go through the formality of appointing a Chairman
I suggest that you
discuss these formalities with Max as soon as you can and it would seem
logical for either him or for Herb to become Chairman
It would I think be as well for this
file and so I am sending it to your home at his private address
letter I am
not to appear on the office
also sending a copy to Max
Yours sincerely
WFG
