Dear Allen:

Pursuant to my telephone conversation with you this morning,
T am enclosing some data on Lieutenant T. P. Ihmter, U. 8.
Marine Corps, who was killed in action on Guam, July 21, 1944.
I. think there is enough material here to ere a very fine
memorial service to ham

I am sure that you may gount on any cuisines music you
may desire if you just let Director Russell Wiley mow. As I
told you, we plan to use T. P.'s picture on a screen during
the ahae't time between halvoty

fT. P. was deeply and sinserely religious. You will see some
evidence of this in the enclosed letters. There has been much
divorce in hie family - his mother and father, and all his
sisters and brothers, and once he said to me, "What do I have
to Look forward to?"

In my letter to Lt. James Surface, which is enclosed, I have
recounted an incident when he failed in five hours here at the
University and how he desided to stay and make it up. His
sincerity ad honesty were reflected in everything he did. At
the time of the Kensas-Southern California game in Kansas City,
as he watched the play from the bench, he remarked to one of
his nn “Now I know why I'm not in there playing.” ,

He was a grand character, and in my opinion, epitomized all
that Sina, genteel, Christian youth possesses.

T. Pe Hunter was a member of Ph Kappa Alpha. One of his
fraternity brothers, John R. Baldwin, the som of Colonel Karl
Baldwin, has given the University a check for $100,00 to be
- used as a “living memorial” to T. P. Hunter. ‘The name of the

donor is confidential, of course, as he does not desire any
publicity, wes

If there is any more information that I may be able to give
you, please call upon ime.

Sinoerely yours,

Varsity Basketball Coach.
