Leonard N. Simons, presi-
dent of the Detroit Histori-
cal Commission, has received
recognition from the Asso-
ciation for State and Local
History with an award of
merit for service to the his-
tory of Detroit.
During the last two years,
Simons has largely been re-
sponsible for the preserva-
tion and restoration of the
Cadillac birthplace Museum
in France. He also has been
instrumental in the develop-
ment of the Dossin Great
Lakes Museum, the Fort
Wayne Military Museum and
the two major branches of
the Detroit Historical
Museum.

The .mistake of mistakes is
to imagine we can achieve a
better community by calling
on others to do more than
we are ready to do ourselves.
