Dear Phog:

Recently an argument has arisen in these
parts about a basketball player that you should
remember quite well as an opponent, and I wonder
if you'd be so kind as to settle the issue for
Some of us. The man is question is Bill Martin,
a Stellar guard for Oklahoma Univ of some years
back, and the question concerns his height. How
tall is Martin? Do you recall of any All-American
honors that he garnered while playing for 0.U.
or later with the semi-pro outfit, I believe it
was Phillips 66, after he left college?

And now a word as to my activities, /I've
been in England about a year and have served out a
tour of missions as a pilot on a Fortress. Since
the middle of May I have taken over a chairborne
job in London, and it appears likely that I may
be here for some time,

it is not an uncommon thing to run into
former KU men wherever I go, and it's always a
pleasure to talk over the good times we had while!
on Mount Oread, Perhaps you know that my kid sister,
EBlizabeth,is starting her second year there now.

 

What are your prospects for the coming
basketball season, not for publication of course,
aS to the caliber of team you'll be able to send
forth? I sincerely hope it will be a good one,
and you have my best wishes for a winning season.

Sincerely yours
