Mr. George Trombeld
Personnel Director
Boeing Airplane Co.
Wichita, Kansas

Dear George,

I just met Ray A. Williams who mentioned the fact that he has
applied to you for a position with Boeing. I have known Ray
for eleven years during which time he wrked in the business
office of the University. His position during that time has
been as bookkeoper and inventory clerk.

In all those years I have found Ray a pleasant fellow who is
always willing to cooperate and a man who is interested in
going out of his way to help others. To my knowledge Ray has
always paid his bills very promptly and in my opinion is e very
fine citizen in this community. He owns his own home here in
Lawrence and is the father of a boy anda girl. It has always
been my impression that a man who owns his own home and raises
@ family is a very substantial citizen. For that reason I would
be gratified if you could find a place for this deserving young
Man.

I assure you it was a greet pleasure to heve you visit with me,
end I am locking forward to the time in the future when I shall
run

out and heve lunch with you and your very amiable bo§s, Mr.
Schaeffer.

With all good wishes for your continued success and happiness I
em
: Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
