GOODERIDGEPETROLEUM BUILDING LOS ANGELES 15, CALIFORNIA U.C.CO. 1061 NOV 14 AM 11:53 RECD.MGMT. E.W.L.November 13, 1961Dear Mr. Littlefield:Please accept my sincere congratulations on your de-served elevation to the two top executive offices in your dis-tinguished Company. Such overwhelming responsibility would scare hell out of me, but I trust it will always rest easily on your shoulders, and that you will not hesitate to command, should any humble effort of mine be able to lend any assistance.It is significant that even the lowly denizens of "down under" celebrated the occasion by awarding you their vast Cooma project, and if the Pakistan brethren will now follow suit with Mangla, your tenure will start off in a blaze of glory!Unfortunately, my attempted contribution referred to in the copy of Stanvac's attached letter was a dismal failure this time, which may be just as well considering your joint venture experience with their Altona chemical plant. Furthermore, the subsequent marine work at their Adelaide refinery was unworthy of your blade, especially since their present expansion program should entail several more juicy morsels.With best wishes for continued success, I remainSincerely yours, J.E. Gooderidge.JEG:mEdmund W. Littlefield, President and General Manager Utah Construction & Mining Co. 550 California Street San Francisco, California |
