DEAR DR. ALLEN:
| WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME THE JAYHAWK REBOUND
AND WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT | ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. | AW
ALWAYS INTERESTED IN WHAT THE K.U, BOYS ARE DOING, ESPECIALLY
THOSE WITH WHOM | WENT TO SCHOOL.
MY SINCEREST CONGRATUBATIONS TO ELEANOR ON HER MARRIAGE.
THE BOY COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN A FINER GIRL AND IN MY ESTIMATION
HE ALSO RECEIVED THE TOPS IN FAMILIES. THANKS BOR THE
INVITATION. ONLY WISH IT WERE POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE THERE.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING OUR USUAL JOB OF PATROL WORK FOR THE
PASK FEW WEEKS, WITH LITTLE TIME OFF FOR RECREATION. HOWEVER,
| DONT MIND A BIT AND IT GIVES ONE A GREAT DEAL OF SATIS-
FACTION TO SEE THE GREAT CONVOYS GO OUT. THE MORE THAT
GO, THE SOONER WE'LL ALL BE BACK IN KANSAS.
__— ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO WE HIT PORT AND MY FIRST MHOUGHT
WAS TO SEE A FOOTBALL GAME. | SAW AMOS ALONZO STAGG AND
HIS COLLEGE OF PACIFIC TEAM PLAY THE COAST GUARD. THEY MON
BY A 14-7 SORE. KEEP AN EYE ON HIS TEAM; THIS SEEMS TO BE
HIS BEST IN MANY YEARS. PAUL CHRISTMAN IS PLAYING WITH
DEL MONTE PRE FLIGHT AND MUST BE WELL OVER 222 LBS. IT
REMINDS ME OF THE DAYS WHEN THEY PLAYED US IN BASEBALL AND
| He cou HARDLY MOVE AROUND THE FIRST BASE SACK.
oe REMEMBER ME TO MRS. ALLEN, MIT AND FAMILY AND. OF COURSE |

 

AGAIN FOR THE REBOUND AND FOR WRIT
