Atlanta, Georgia 30308 Re: Atlanta Stadium Dear Arthur: During our regular progress meeting this morning we discussed the need for some sort of commemorative plaque which would list the names of those responsible for the Stadium. This could take the form of a bronze plaque mounted on a stone base located between the two center flag poles at the Capitol Street entrance. We will be glad to work up an appropriate design if you desire. It will be necessary for the Stadium Authority to decide upon the text of the plaque including the names of individuals and organizations to be included. Since considerable time is required to cast such a plaque and since necessary foundations can best be provided before the concourse slab is poured, we suggest that appropriate action be taken as soon as possible.

W. Atlanta, Georgia 30308 Re: Atlanta Stadium Dear Arthur: During our regular progress meeting this morning we discussed the need for some sort of commemorative plaque which would list the names of those responsible for the Stadium. This could take the form of a bronze plaque mounted on a stone base located between the two center flag poles at the Capitol Street entrance. We will be glad to work up an appropriate design if you desire. It will be necessary for the Stadium Authority to decide upon the text of the plaque including the names of individuals and organizations to be included, Since considerable time is required to cast such a plaque and since necessary foundations can best be provided before the concourse slab is poured, we suggest that appropriate action be taken as soon as possible, Sincerely, HEERY & HEERY .

Aldredge (Alan Kiepper) Others Eddie Glennon .Ernie Johnson Mrs. Ann Drummond George Goodwin Sidney Scarborough Mr. Johnson explained that the date of the Houston Stadium dedication had not been set since the President would participate and had not announced the exact date. It would be either April 9, 1965 or April 12, 1965. Mr . Johnson was instructed to keep in contact with Houston officials and notify the Chairman or Stadium Manager once the date was set. Mr. Forio stated that should Houston's dedication date be April 12 he would endeavor to obtain his company's plane and transport the committee to Houston to observe their dedication ceremonies. It was the consensus o f the body that a presentation to Mr. Montgomery by the Sales Executive's Club should not be a part of stadium inauguration activities on April 9, 1965. It was felt a presentation at this time would detract from the honor Mr. Montgomery was receiving. Mr. Forio announced that he and the Stadium Manager would call on participants in the inauguration activities to acquaint them with their respective duties. The Stadium Manager announced that Boy Scout Color Guards and the Murphy High School Band had been obtained for the April 9 activities. �Page 2 March 24, 1965 - Minutes Dedication Committee Mr. Forio instructed Mrs. Drummond, Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Johnson to prepare publicity releases for the April 9, 1965 inauguration activities, and to include in such releases the dedication date of July 29, 1965.
