Dear Mz, Cooke!

_ Glenn Gatman, 4 greduate of the University
here last year, and captain of our golf team, dropped in

_ the office to pay me a visit the other day, I congratue

ieted him upon winning the Missouri Open e few months

ago, aid he teld me there was a small possibility of his

obtaining & job in your bank; I thought he seid with

your apr, Abernethy.

i just want to say a few words regarding
Glenn Oatman, I think he is one of the finest young
men that we have had in the University for a lone time,
Whea Glenn wag in the eighth end ninth grades he caddied
for up, Irving Hili, Glenn hed no visible means of ob
taining an education at the University, so Mr. Hill
accosted ue end said that he wanted me,to find a job for
Glenn.

i told him that we hed very few jobs that
were not alpeetiy teken by athletes, He said ell, z
want you to make one. ‘This bey wants to go bo Kae
We did meke a job out of thin air, We found a place
where Glenn could work his way through school, and after
a very difficult ee Gienn made it, One year he
was fiat on bis beck for several months, but he persevered
and eame through, :

| i would recommend Glenn Oatman without a
reservation or evasion, He is loyal, conseientious ani
intelligent, as well as being clean and most capable,
He has no bad habits thet I know of, and he has a host
of friends. :

i merely want to add this testimonial of
mine to Gienn's worthwhile character and worth, Any
consideration that ean be shown him will make his ma ry
friends here in Lawrence very happy.

- With kindest regards ard best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

FCAsAH Director of Physical Education.
