A photo of the Eddie Jacobson Memorial Chapel plaque. It reads "Eddie Jacobson endeared himself to his friends and neighbors of every faith; served his country during war; held his friendships inviolate; gave of his time and funds unstintingly; and fervently persevered to make the state of Israel a reality. He helped to make possible a haven for persecuted Jews throughout the world." This is similar to 66-150. Mr. Jacobson was a good friend of President Truman.
