Show September 15, 1971 Ing. Rafael Rey Johnson Relaciones Publicas Hylsa De Mexico, S. A. Xoxtla, Pue. Dear Ing. Rey; Both Hugh Douglas and I would like to thank you again for a most delightful day at the Puebla Steel Works. We particularly enjoyed our tour of the mill, explanation of the process and general information of overall economics of steel making in Mexico. Another highlight of the day was the visit to El Meson Angel and the conviviality of lunch with you and your associates. This, of course, I shall long remember. We have finally returned to San Francisco and a serious heat wave. The traditional air conditioning system that normally flows through the Golden Gate has broken down. Temperatures are presently in the high 90's, a near catastrophe for this place. Hugh Douglas and I both want to thank you again and trust it may be possible one day to reciprocate when you visit us in San Francisco. Yours sincerely, Weston Bourret Vice President WB:co |
