Lead From Strength

My friend and associate, Otto Grigg, managing director of the Pacific Southwest Hardware Association, thoughtfully sent me a copy of your editorial in support ofthe idea ofassociation membership.

It was most refreshing to read such a strong and effective statement from someone other than an association professional and we appreciate it. Regardless of the profesion or trade, association membership plus participation is the best buy we can make, and you said it beautifully.
