Thank you for your inquiry about John Mordica.

I can furnish you with some details that I found with a quick search through our archives of Wire & Wire Products and the Wire Journal International magazines.

Specifically, I can send you PDFs of the following:

- an excerpt from an article in the January, 1995, Wire Journal International (pp. 48-9) marking the 65th anniversary of Wire Association International and describing Mordica's role in WAI's early years during his term as its first president from 1931 to 1936

- his obituary from the August, 1937, issue of Wire & Wire Products, which included a resolution from the association's directors honoring Mordica

- an introduction of the first Mordica Memorial Lecture from the January, 1940, Wire & Wire Products
