Gus Stavros has contributed his time. his efforts and his leadership to help make not only his hometown and his county. but the entire Tampa Bay area a better place to live. The Governor of Florida recognized Gus Stavros as the "Free Enterpriser of the Year" in 1982. and this award merely follows numerous other awards he has received including the prestigious "Bilgore Humanitarian Award" in 1977 and Phi Delta Kappas "Outstanding Laymans Award" in 1979. Now the Bnai Brith "Great American Traditions Award" again exemplifies that special character of Gus Stavros. and it is especially fitting for the Bnai Brith to honor the son of Greek immigrants who gave him a love of life and an appreciation of his fellow man. I am fortunate to have been asked to serve as this years honorary chairman of the banquet honoring Gus Stavros. but I am even more honored to have met Gus more than 20 years ago and to enjoy his friendship. Gus Stavros is a most dedicated and outstanding citizen.
