cialS who have worked with him.
Among them:
James v. Bennett, director Of
the Federal Bureau Of Prisons
Much Of the fine work that he
has done over the last 81 years
has necessarily had to be anon
ymous or for some reason kept
confidential. but I know from
personal contact with some of
the situations and cases he has
handled that he has contributed

persons involved and the i'm
provement Of our city as WELL"
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle.
