I appreciate your invitation to appear in the
Men's Health and Physical Education section at the State
Teachers’ Meeting, but I feel like it would be overdoing
things as Chalmer Woodard has already asked me to talk
at the joint meeting, which will preceed yours.

I would suggest that you might possibly get Dr.
Elbel, Ray Kanehl, or Red Strait, who could make a very
good talk on some subject you might assign them.

Thenks a lot for the invitation but under the
circumstances I do not believe I had better accept.

. Sincerely yours,

Henry Shenk
HS sMF Director of Physical Education
