Dear Sir:
Through the columns of the East
Cleveland Leader, permit me to
send this personal word of appre-
citation to the members of the East
Cleveland Business Mems Associ-
alton. They were most kind in in
viting me to act as Master of Cere-
monies at last years Annual Picnic
at Euclid Beach, an event l shall
long remember.
At that time, however, l men,
toned the possibility of my moving
to another suburb-thus making
me ineligible to officially partici-
pate in future picnics. The posi-
bility became a reality; for just
this week "Kousin Kay's Klan"
(not to be confused with another
Triple-K Klan) has moved to
Brecksville.
My wife, Virginia, and the Kay
kids were most reluctant to leave
after residing in East Cleveland for
nearly 9 years, and we are most
grateful for the many courtesies
which were extended to US.
l hope l shall have the oppor-
tunity to retain those friendships
made, via WDOK and WXEL.
Sincerely,
Walt "Kousin" Kay
