JOHN P. DANDALIDES
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT
26 November 1979
Dear Lee:
Foundry. You wear it well.
You're a legend in your own time!
Fifty years with the same company is unheard of today
and for this I commend you. But I must also commend
you for your contribution toward the success of the Company
I know that Valley enjoys its excellent reputation in the
industry because of what you represent even in your own
private life. And I know that it's no coincidence that
while you celebrate your 50th, Valley is having its best
year ever.
The same can be said for your contribution to AMETEK
these past 10 years both as a Director and as a
General Manager.
But we don't want to forget to pay tribute to someone else
who also deserves some of the credit. I'm sure you'll
agree that none of this would have happened without Alice.
December 7th should be her evening, too.
Sophie joins me in extending warmest wishes to you and
Alice on this happy occasion. Our one wish is that the
good Lord grant you both many more happy hears ahead.
Cordially, \
Mr. Leon S. Peters
