Septer.li..1e L ., 1967 Mr . Richard H. Rich Rich ' s , Inc . 45 Broad Street Atlanta , Georgia 30303 Dear. .Mr. Rich: I would like to give you a brief r eport on the outstanding success of the portable swimming pools your foundation was gracious enough to provide to the City of Atlanta . From June 9 through September 1 , 1967 , we had trained 153 classes whi ch had a total enrollment of 27 .6 chil ren . In addi tion , some 23 , 077 participated during " 1 lay eriods ow t a t fall is here we have removed the swimming poo s from their outdoor locations an already t~ree of the four have been installed in the basements of various schools where showers and drain ge are available and they will continue to be utili~ed through the school year . The structures sustain virtually no vand lism (several other cities had terrible experiences) and we fully expect to place them back in operation come next summer . Your don tion fortunately was sufficient enough to provide heaters to raise the water temperature so there ' s no problem there when cold weather sets in . · 11 • ~le don ' t really know how to estimate the life expectancy of the portable pools but we can certainly say with great deal of assurance that literally hundreds of thousands of children in the coming years will enjoy something that would not hav been possible had it not been for the generosity of the Rich Foundation . Sincerely , Jack C . Del iu General Manag r of Parks nd Recre tion JCD1lg cc: Honor abl Ivan Allen, Jr./ �
