Specialist note

In 1987, before the trustees and officers of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund went to Thailand in connection with the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Ramón Magsaysay Foundation, our entire family had an audience with the king of queen of Thailand. Peggy and I brought two square dishes from this service as a present for the queen. They seemed to please her very much.
