Dear Mary Lib:
Last night on the plane home from New York, I had a few quiet moments to reflect on
our three wonderful days together. Vicki and I are so lucky to be privileged to have been
in your presence these past few days. As I watched you visit with all of the dignitaries,
your grace and charm electrified the room. I was so proud to tell all around me, "That's
the most wonderful MAYOR in this country. " Many thanks for this wonderful
nomination and giving us the opportunity to tell other people that there is always Hope
for all families, and a lot of special citizens really care about the welfare of our children.
Our enthusiasm for our work has been elevated to another level of dedication because of
people like you. Thanks for your personal support, plus your fine staff of dedicated
citizens that want to make this city the finest it can be.
We were glad, too, that Ray was able to join its. What a joy he is to be around. You are
a lucky woman.
Our Love o You Both,

Dear Jeffrey:
Thank you, thank you for a most wonderful and exciting day in New York
City. Looking back I wonder how we survived all the activities you
planned and how we all carried them out. We just needed more time.
The Lewis Hine Awards are truly magnificent. To hear all the stories that
each recipient works with daily is just so rewarding and humbling. To be a
judge for that committee is no easy task. You must be so proud of all the
people you work with and each Lewis Hine Awardee you meet.
Both Ray and I enjoyed meeting each and every one of you. Your staff
was so very pleasant though we only met a few of them. Both Arden and
Susan were especially thoughtful to the Baums and us.
Again, my thanks for a whirlwind day with such terrific people. Give
everyone my best regards and if you are ever in Texas, do come to Euless
for a special treat.
Sincerely,
Mary Lib Saleh
Mayor
