Before 'reading the citation of
the award to Fisher, Judge
Levin enumerated the awardee's
many local accomplishments, his
generosity, the dignity with
which he had led the Federation
towards new heights.
Fisher, in his response, said
he owed a great debt to the
Jewish community for the
satisfaction it gave him in his
work for Jewish causes. He
said he feels keenly the obli-
gation to save fellow Jews.
"We all have a duty to our
Jewish community and to the
general community," he said.
