Dear Phog:

I am delighted to have your letter of the 15th saying that you will be here
for our recognition of the basketball squad on March 31st.

We are not trying to make a banquet out of this but simply plan to have the
squad as our guests at a regular Friday noon luncheon meeting, Of course,
Coach Stockebrand and his assistants will be there to present the individual
members of the squad. It happens that that is also the date of the annual
election of directors, but the way that is handled in this club it does not
interfere with program time. My chief thought is to have these boys meet
the man that I consider to be top-notcher of all basketball coaches (and
that ain't hay) and have you meet them.

As for your appearance before the school, I did tell you that if you wanted
to address a high school assembly I thought I could arrange it. I have said
nothing to school officials as yet and will be guided by your wishes. Please
drop me a line or give me a ring in this regard.

I hope that you can get here early enough and stay long enough after this
luncheon meeting for me to take you around Independence and introduce you

to some of my friends. I certainly appreciate your accepting this invitation,
Phog, and want to do whatever I can to make your visit enjoyable if not
profitable.

Rotarily,

IDT/gd de D. Turner, President
