Dear President Diemer:

 sateehtaen hth: il Aid iad Segetnlw' vp
George W. Diemer, Jr. It is a. lovely thing, and I prise it
most. highly.

As I iil ieee this memorial su Mente ten Nac Mo te
days when you and Jessie were in Excelsior Springs and Louie
Menge, I believe, was your coach. ‘hat a kaleidoscopic chain
of events! A story of a lifetime is told in so few words.

‘I ran eoross something the other day that I liked very
much, and I trust that you and Jessie will.

"fo the curbstone lad we said, “What is it?"
He said, "Vy kite". We said, "Where?" - |
' He said, "Up there in that cloud." We said, “io.”
He said, "Take the string and feel it pull.” f

To us a thread of life is snapped, and yet we feol
it pull, Ths fraim form in simple garb is at rest.
The widening work goes on. In it the man yet lives
and is and will be of the everlasting in all the.
ages.

Very sincerely yours,
