Dear Dr. Noto,
Just a note to add some information on
the ILA for the "History of Leprosy, a Tabulation View" (I
refer Jo Robertson's email dated 15 February 2008).
--
President 1938-1943 Prof Emil Marchoux (Paris,
France) (IJL Vol 7 p 595, 1939)
Prof. Marchoux, who made many outstanding contributions
to leprosy, died 19 Aug 1943 (IJL Vol 12 p 116, 1944)
-- Dr. H. W. Wade's name was put
forward for President of the ILA, and approved with acclamation, at an
Extraordinary Session of the ILA held at the 2nd Pan-American Leprosy
Congress in October 1946 (IJL Vol 15 p 98, 1947).
-- During the interval August 1943 -
October 1946, the affairs of the ILA seem to have been handled by the
Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. E. Muir.
-- Dr. W. Felton Ross was Treasurer
1988-2002.
So much for now. I will attempt
to add more information at a later date. Congratulations to Jo
Robertson for her initial summary, and to you for the excellent
service you are rendering by the LML to the worldwide community of
those interested in leprosy. (attached
updated table)
Best wishes,
