Dear Dr. Allen:

Thanks so much for your pleasing comments about
my work. Coming from one who has been in position
to see all of my faults as well as the few better
characteristics, it is deeply appreciated.

_My shift in duties was wholly my own choice
and was made after considerable thought. In fact,
the Committee wondered if responsibilities couldn't
be altered to permit me to handle both jobs, but
details connected with them were so conflicting
that I didn't believe such a set-up was wise. How-
ever, it was nice to know that my coaching work had
been considered satisfactory. :

It is difficult to look forward to a future
with less intimate contacts among basketball coaches
and players. I enjoy administrative work, though,
and believe it offers compensations to me ’which will
offset the losses. At gis time I feel that the
move is a good one for,“-- only the future can show
whether or not I an meting a mistakes

Thanks again for your well wishes, and may I
extend my kindest personal regards.

Yours truly,
