BY: Mr. Kephart
IN RE: MERITORIOUS AWARD - ALBERT WEBER
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Being Chairman of the Tuberculosis Sanatorium Committee has had its trying
moments at times, but like all things in life, there is the other side; and it is at this
moment that I find the pleasurable parts of being Chairman of this Committee.
To present a meritorious award to one of our distinguished citizens is always
an honor, but in this particular case, it gives me an extra measure of personal satisfaction
in having had the opportunity to work with this gentleman for over 15 years. I speak of
Albert Weber, former Member and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium. His stature is such that when he was appointed to the Board of Trustees by
this honorable Board, the other Trustees immediately elected him Chairman, and he served
as Chairman of that Board continuously until his retirement the first of this year.
Albert Weber was originally appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium on October 31, 1944, to fill the unexpired term of Dr. Charles A. Mooney,
ending December 31, 1944. Since that time he has been reappointed by this Board of
Supervisors for every term until his resignation on December 31, 1964.
He guided the operation of our Tuberculosis Sanatorium with an experienced,
administrative touch, and with almost an innate ability to always distinguish that fine
line between a policy matter and an administrative one. He has that rare ability of
minimizing another person's faults and maximizing his good points, which establishes that
desired atmosphere of esprit de corps.
Mr. Weber is a real humanitarian, who is always willing to give of himself for
his fellow man.
Oakland County is far richer because of Mr. Weber.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Tuberculosis Sanatorium Committee of the
Oakland County Board of Supervisors, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution
of appreciation, and that a copy of said resolution be affixed with the Seal of the
County of Oakland and forwarded to Albert Weber,
TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM COMMITTEE
