A motion was made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the minutes of the previous meeting of January 20, 1966. The Chairman reported that he had received from Mrs. Robert L. Ziegfeld an acknowledgment of the resolution passed by the Board at its last meeting as follows: "Dear Simon: To you and other Directors of Lead Industries Association I am pleased to extend ray sincere and grateful appreciation for the very generous and welcome check that has just come to me and also the very handsomely engraved resolution. In spite of my gratitude I am sure this magnanimous gesture was inspired by Bob's long and loyal devotion to the duties to which he gave his efforts so whole heartedly. He truly loved every day of the thirty-seven years he was connected with the Association. I am sure I am not being presumptuous in assuming he will be missed both for his ability and deep feeling of affection for all those with whom he worked."
