You have done a fine job. It is unusual indeed to find a person of your ability and statue who is willing to give the time necessary to properly execute a post such as this to public service. Your willingness to do this was.our good fortune. When you advised us over a year ago you did not desire reappointment after your present term expired, we keenly felt the forthcoming loss. However, after realizing that service on this board consumed a portion of your time that could be more pleasantly spent elsewhere, we felt your wishes should be paramount. Your guidance and advice to the alcoholic beverage control board will be sorely missed, yet the policy you were instrumental in formulating will serve to help guide that organization for years to come. Again we want to thank you on behalf of all the residents of Orange County for the outstanding job you performed."
