Dear Wetmore: 
WELCOME. This is a brief note. Thursday 22d I will be out 
of circulation from about 11 a.m. to 1 pm. Rest of the day I will be at 
0902 unless I have a call from Dr Koford who will be at the Internation¬ 
al, but I can’t say when he will call. I want them to go to BCI Friday. 
Friday will be a BUSY day for us, we will have our bull-session then on 
Corrosion andProtection, a wind up of the week’s sessions. You are wel¬ 
come to sit in on this. 
THURSDAY evening fiffiasifli 7:30 International Nickle is throwing a cocktail 
party at Miraflores and you and Perrygo are cordially invited and ex¬ 
pected to attend. We have 16 of the leading people on corrosion from the 
US and I am sure BCI will bebefit by our sessions. Yesterday I had 42 on 
BCI and all are sold on the place. 
FRIDAY evening we will have a buffet supper at the Tivoli (l believe) 
and you are also invited. I do not know yet what the damages will be 
for this, but it would not be heavy, and worth every penny of it. 
Saturday I go to BCI. 
NOW, I know you won’t do it, but I will not think ill of you if you phone 
me upon your arrival at the Tivoli from Tocumen• It will be nice to hear 
your voice. Maybe, I may drop in when you have bkfast, just for a bit of 
coffee. 
Warmest to you and Perry. 
sincerely 
Zetek
