Tribute t o Pr es i dent
The Chair was taken by the Senior
Vice-President, Mr. Maurice Curran,
who called on Mr. Desmond Moran
to propose a vote of thanks to the
President. Mr. Moran said that as
the senior member present, it gave
him great pleasure to pay tribute to
the President of the Society, Tom
Shaw. Over the past t wo years he
had crossed swords w i th him on a
few occasions and had to admit
that he learned a lot. The President
had undertaken a tough job, not
only in visiting Bar Associations
throughout the country but also in
representing the Society at meetings
abroad. He represented the country
well and he wished to thank the
President for all that he had done on
behalf of the members of the Society.
Mr. Mo r a n 's r ema r ks we re
received w i th applause.
After being seconded by Mr.
George Crawford, who described
Mr. Shaw as
"a
terrific President
who had been most helpful to the
ordinary member", the motion was
carried unanimously and Mr. Shaw
was given a standing ovation.
The Senior Vice-President then for-
mally declared the meeting closed. •
