lige Jeanie Chiles,
independence, Missouri.
Dear Miss Janie:

Some one very kindly sent me the Section B sheet of the
-Independence Examiner as of Friday, September 10. This
page carried a very fine tribute to your wonderful teache
ing skill and exceptional personality.

I read the paregraph where I was not one of the recalcitrants.
Really, Wiss Janie, I thought Iwas. I think I caused you 4
lot of grief, but it is a wonderful thing that when a person
grows older the memories of the rascal who caused you so mush
trouble become dim with forgiveness.

I want to congratulate you on the exceptional record ©
that you made and the wonderful contribution that you rendered
to youth in Independence. You are a symbol of friendliness
and cooperative endeavor. And my wish for you is that you
have many, many more days to remamber the lovely things of
life which you always exemplified.

With all good wishes, I an, :

Sincerely, Your admirer,

Director of Physical Bducation,
FCA:AH 3 Varsity Basketball Coach.
