"His statesmanlike qualities, sense of fairness and deep concern for the good of the DHIA member has made him successful. He proves that flash, personal ambi tion and desire for the limelight are not prerequisites for an outstand ing leader. He has never sought position for self gain, nor has he shunned them when urged to accept a challenge in difficult times," said Giacomini.
