IN MEMCRIAM L. E. Pete WI-IITE, JR. I have lost my oldest partner. L. E. Pete White, Jr., who has been by my side as person- al manager and public relations director for nearly 20 years, was called to be with the Lord on Friday morning, September 25, 1970. Pete and I had dinner together the night before his most recent and 'Fatal bout with cancer. This summer, he was with me at The Summit, in fact, he was always with me. He was never further from me than a telephone. Directing all my rallies, conventions, suppers and press conferences, he was as essential to me as my right hand. I really didn't think I could make it without him, but I guess God saw differently. Thank God, Romans 8:28 still holds true: Ancl we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. As I write this, I have twin emotions overwhelming me: Sadness for Pete's aged mother, for his wife, Ruby imy executive assistantl, and for their grown sons, Pete and Chris, a lawyer and a Lieutenant in the Air Force, respectively. And gratitude to God for allow- ing me to share Pete's life and talents. Goodbye Pete...we fought them together...you did your best to keep the press honest about me and to honestly communicate to the nation what we were doing. You were rough on me at times, but I needed that, too, for no man gets so big that he doesn't need counsel and warnings. But, you were always there. You always thought I would drop dead of a heart attack, so you protected me. It was you we should have worried about. We saw what God could do with a dream. You were a good press agent, here, now you have graduated to my press agent in heaven. L. E. Pete White, Jr. was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1919. Reared in St. Louis, Missouri, he graduated from high school in 1936 and from the University of Mis- souri in 1940. In 1948, he formed his own advertising agency. He was founder and president of White Advertising Agency, Inc., and ot W 8. W Advertising, Inc. He was current president of the Tulsa Chapter, Public Relations Society of America. He was active in the Tulsa Press Club, Tulsa Tennis Club and a member of the Tulsa Ad Club and Tulsa Chamber of Commerce.
