Dear Perry,
How nice to hear from you. It has certainly been some time and
I wish our paths could cross again soon. I was in Cleveland just a
few weeks ago both for an off-the-record interview with Tom VaP& and
his editorial board and to have dinner with a group of fifteen leading
business executives. Had I realized that you were in Cleveland, I
would most certainly have asked to have you included with the dinner
group so that we could have said hello..
Unfortunately, I am going to have to decline your very kind invi-
tation to address the Forum in the first half of 1980. It is just the
kind of thing I like to do and enjoy. The demands for such appearances,,
however, are never ending. At this point I do not feel I can justify
a return trip to Cleveland so soon. I am conscientiously trying to
get around the country and speak to and with various types of groups
in many areas. While I realize that this last trip to Cleveland did
not cover anywhere near the size of audience you would have at the Forum,
I still feel that I should touch some other geographical bases before
returning. On top of that, the cal6ndar is already mercifully full
through the spring.
I apologize for not being able to be more responsive. Perhaps we
can work something out at a more distant time. Alternatively, if anything
should bring me anywhere near Cleveland on a Friday, I will give you as
much notice as I can and see if we can work something out.
Again, thanks for thinking of me and very warmest wishes.
