INTRODUCTION
This,
our second year, has proven to be one of substantial
progress and I greet all our members, with the hope
that we can double and perhaps triple your number by
the spring of 1978.
We
had our second annual meeting and dinner, May 19, and
then about three weeks later our beloved Chairman, Tom
C. Clark, suddenly died.
Not
only have I lost a personal family friend of many years
standing, but during the past two years of sharing the
endeavor of launching this fledgling Society, he has
given me and us all wise counsel, guidance, leadership
and support, from which we benefited greatly.
As
we mourn his loss, I can think of no better way in which
to adequately express our own feelings than to have
published in Yearbook 1978 for your perusal the
magnificent tributes made to him by the Chief Justice
and his son, Ramsey Clark, at the memorial service held
on June 22 at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington,
D. C. It was probably one of the most tender and therefore
touching services of its kind I have ever attended and
thus so appropriate for "Justice Tom."
