Dear Art:
It is with .a great deal of regret that I tender herewith
my resignation from this board. I do so only because of
the press of business and other community commitments
which must take priority.
I have enjoyed the four years spent on this board and
hope I've been able to make some small contribution toward
a better Sanford for tomorrow. I extend my heartfelt
thanks and best wishes to each member of the board, the
city employees, and the City Commission. I will miss the
Thursday evening sessions and the association with so many
fine people. I hope to be able to drop in and visit
occasionally in the future.
Sincerely,
Signed: David N. Berrien
Arthur H. Harris, Chairman
