Dear Toms

I spoke at Southeast High School last Wednesday night and
met a most outstending you man, Dwight Friecke. I understand
that either his father or mother works for you. The boy is
from a broken home, but if there is any finer shap that I have
met I do not kmow it. He is a sterling basketball player and

will be eighteen soon, end of course will go in the service.

But I would be most happy to have him as a student at the
University of Kensas some time after the fuss is over. He will .
need some financial help in the way of work but we oan provide ¢
that for him. I know what difficulties these boys from broken
homes have in working out their future beoause they do not have
an opportumity to go to the home base for the coumsel that is
So nesessary in the formative years.

: I thought I would write you and see whether it is the father
or the mother there working for you, and to know in general
what-type of salary thay are making. It will guide me in help-
ing him. It might be possible for me to see the parent, who,

I understand, is married again, which makes added difficulty

for Dwight.

I dislike to take your time in this matter but I would like
to have the backgroud so that I could oe ee
his problem when the opportunity cones.

With all good wishes, I an

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
