CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
September 23, 1983
The Honorable Mayor MdUrice A. Terre
350 Pan American Drive
Miami, Florida 33133
Dear Maurice:
Thank you for the cordial reception that you and the
city manager, Howard Gary gave to me.
I also appreciate the sound advice you gave me regarding
where to place the replica of the Statue of Liberty provided
to the Florida committee by the Florida Cabinet.
I agree that placing the Statue of Liberty in the Centro
Comunitario Dr. Manuel Artime Buesa in Little Havana
will be an ideal first step, since this is essentially
the hub of the largest ethnic group in our fair state.
I will also implement your further suggestion to open
a Statue of Liberty headquarters in Liberty City.
I have asked Mr. Miller Dawkins to join the Advisory Commit—
tee in accordance with the suggestions of both yourself
and 1.4r . Gary .
While I realize this is inconveniently short notice, I
would appreciate your asking the Commission's approval
.to install the Statue so that we could unveil it before
the end of next week, as time is running out. It is also
an appropriate time, as it is close to the sixth anniversary
of the tragic death of Dr. Artime which is November 17,
1983.
Provided your schedule (along with those of the committee
and commissioners) permits, I would like you to dedicate
this event on or about October 1st.
-- Singer y yours,
