Columbia, Missouri

- Dear Mrs. Simpson:

I am sorry that Dr. Diemer and you did not make satisfactory
affiliation. There are so many administrators who have degreeitis.
Certainly a Master's Degree for that position could not be access bag-
gage. I know that you have a B.S. in education and I am quite sure :
that would be sufficient, but the boss thought otherwise. | fe

. Bob, Sr., is certainly having very interesting experiences
‘in Germany. Being in — retreat, without Adolph, would be a
pleasure.

I an glad that Bob, Jr., has orders for OCS.

I imagine that Phyllis and the young grandchild could make
formidable competition for grandparent. I imagine that we will not
get to Columbia until basketball season. I hope that you get into
your new quarters before then.

If, at any time, I can be of any help, please call upon me.
With all good wishes to you and yours, I am

Sincerely,

Forrest C. Allen
Director, Physical Education
Varsity Basketball Coach
