At our First Annual General Meeting held in St. Croix in Oc-
tober 1963, Arnold Krochmal was elected secretary/treasurer and
in that position he continued to provide dedicated and energetic
service to the Society until his transfer from the area in 1964 when
these duties of secretary/treasurer were transferred to Dr. George
Samuels and later shared between Dr. George Jackson serving as
secretary and George Samuels serving as treasurer.


 The invaluable services rendered to the Society by these
distinguished scientists and by our present treasurer Dr. Miguel
A. Lugo-Lopez and secretary Carlos Cruz, are well known and ap-
preciated by the great majority of our membership. To all these
gentlemen, as well as to our past presidents and members of our
board of directors, we all, I am sure, would wish to pay fitting
tribute on this the twenty-first anniversary of the establishment
of the Caribbean Food Crop Society.
