Harold Spaet, Miami Metropolitan Commissioner and Jewish communal leader, has been named by Governor Farris Bryant to fill the Circuit court vacancy created by the death last week of Judge Robert Anderson. Mr. Spaet tendered his resignation from the commission for a term which would have ended later this month. His appointment by the Governor is through January 1965.
Judge Spaet, a past president of Temple Israel and of the Miami Jewish Home for the Aged, is also a former vice-mayor of Miami Beach and served on the Miami Beach City Council for eight years. He is also a former associate municipal Judge. He is now honorary president of the Jewish Home for the Aged and a member of the Board of the Children’s Home Society of Florida.
