from December 19, 1900 to March 16, 1997; and
Whereas, Irving Weber for many years shared his memories and
historical facts with his fellow Iowa Citians; and
Whereas, the Iowa City Host Noon Lions Club, of which Mr. Weber
was a member, has published eight books of Mr. Weber's which set
forth an invaluable history of Iowa City which includes not only
historical facts but memories of events which shaped our city; and
Whereas, on December 12, 1989, in demonstration of the community's
appreciation for the historical legacy which Mr. Weber furnished
for us, the Iowa City City Council bestowed upon Irving B. Weber
the title of Official Historian of Iowa City; and
Whereas, it is only fitting that the Iowa City community honor Irving
Weber's work and remember Iowa City's history with a community
festival.
Therefore, I, Ernest W. Lehman, Mayor of the City of Iowa City,
Iowa, do hereby proclaim Saturday, August 8, 1998, to be
Irving B. Weber Day
Mayor
Signed in Iowa City, Iowa,
this 28th day of July, 1998.
