WATKINS, TREASURER We & WELDA RURAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS A EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP LEE € ORDER, PRINCIPAL WELDA, KANSAS September 26, 1944 Dr. F. GC. Alien Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have read your latest Jayhawk Rebound with much interest and feeling. I feel that the splendid work you are doing for all the boys in the service and their loved ones at home merits a special word of praise and encouragement. I think it so magnifi- cent and thoughtful of you to send encouraging words to the boys over there and consoling thoughts to their loved ones at home. I think it marvelous for these boys and their loved ones to have a person with such capacity for friendship and understanding as you to keep in touch with so many boys and be able in such appropriate manner to offer such fine encouragement and inspira- tion to them. What a Godsend it would be if we only had a few more such inspirational friends and leaders. I did not know T, P. Hunter very well but from what I saw of him and what I have heard he must have had qualities that were well above the average. I remember seeing him at church in Lawrence on the Sun- day that Pearl Harbor was bombed. Please accept thanks from me for the fine things you are doing for these boys and for our country in helping to win this war. With best personal regards for you and the splen- did work you are doing, I am Sincerely yours Lee Corder
