Farewell Party for Anthony and R. Mort, July, 30,1968 Digital
Scope and Contents
The audio recording documents an OSD Controller Hail and Farewell Party which was held to say goodbye to Mr. Robert Anthony and welcome the person coming into the position, Mr. Robert (Bob) Mort. The party was held July 30, 1968 in the main ballroom of the Fort Meyer Officer’s Club. Mr. Don Braisser (spelling?), the deputy assistant secretary of the defense controller speaks first and directs the ceremony. Mr. Mort then says a few words about taking over the position followed by a performance which highlights Anthony’s career as the defense controller. The performance consists of funny anecdotes and skits about problems solved and encountered by the controller office and Anthony. Lastly, Braisser gifts Anthony with a series of presents – a book on how to speak, a pair of skis, a guestbook signed by people who were in attendance of this party, a plaque, and cufflinks. The recording finishes with some remarks made by Anthony who talks about the pride he feels for the organization.
