Re: Resolution on death of Paul Sramek, as announced
at Thursday Council Session, 1/28/66
Dear Mr. Maxwell:
r = � •y
iL
Paul Sramek, Mayor of Meadowlands, Minnesota (32 miles north-
west of Duluth) mayor for some 25 years, was an implement dealer.
He was very active in local and state civic affairs, Rotary, Lions,
Kiwanis, Boy Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, etc. He spoke
throughout the northwestern states on Americanism, dangers of
Communism, etc. Last year he spoke to St. Paul Kiwanis at
Capp Towers Motel on his travels through Communist dominated
countries in Europe, and especially of conditions in his native
Czechoslovakia, from whence he emigrated as a boy. Very active
in Western Bohemian Fraternal Association as chapter president,
state chairman and assistant on National Board of Directors (Suc-
ceeded me in the last two positions mentioned). Extremely per-
sonable, gregarious, liked to lead in singing. A rare type of
person who knew how to enjoy the arts, as well as good fellowship;
but extremely serious and dedicated to his country and fellowmen
when the occasion dictates.
Resident of Meadowlands 33 years.
Survived by his wife Ruth, and -? - children
