Dear Friends: I am pleased to offer my greetings and good wishes to all attending the National Rabbinic Centennial Medallion Awards Dinner. I am confident that this evening will be a fine compliment to your ongoing centennial celebration. I offer my congratulations to each of the rabbinic honorees, especially my longtime friend, Rabbi Rafael G. Grossman of the Baron Hirsch Congregation in Memphis, Tennessee. For 100 years, the Orthodox Union has made an important contribution to the spiritual life of our nation. May your celebration usher in a bright new century for your congregations. My wife, Martha, joins me in extending our every good wish. Sincerely, Don Sundquist, Governor of Tennessee. DS:rp:gh.
