Gentlemen:
On April 1, 1967, I completed twenty-five (25) years of service on the Richmond
Fire Department, thus becoming eligible for retirement on pension. Aft4r Muth thought
and consideration, I have decided to request that I be placed on retirement May 15, 1967.
I wish to express my appreciation to the present and previous City Administrations
under which I have had the pleasure of working, for their co-operation and support.
I have seen many changes in the Fire Department during the past twenty-five (25)
years and am certain that the future will bring more improvements and changes in fire
fighting procedures. It has been a most happy experience working and association with
a loyal and devoted group of men such as we have on the Richmond Fire Department.
Respectfully,
/s/ Henry Clark, Captain
