Dear Pat,
I found that reference, but very little else. I did a quick search on each of the three named office holders and discovered that their president Seaver Leslie comes from a small town and was recently married. I discovered little else about either the society or their office bearers as either they don't do anything or they are very secretive.

Firstly, who or what is the organization "Americans for Customary Weight and Measure". They do not appear to have a website. Dear Martin, You might understand who 'Americans for Customary Weight and Measure' are if you see that they are affiliated with the British Weights and Measures Association (BWMA). See: http://www.bwmaonline.com/ACWM.htm The article at http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/article.asp?aid=3485 is exactly the same.
