February 16, 1942,

Mr. Don Isett,
Cedar Rapids, Towa.

Dear Don:

I just wanted you to know that we followed through
on your suggestion regarding young Grutgmacher, of
Onagae I kmow his father very well, and sppke at Onaga
at Commencement time a couple of years agoe ~

Charles Grutgmacher is a senior at the University,
and I learn that he is not particularly interested in
football. He is not very large, and although he may
have been a high school star, he apparently did not
care to compete at the University. Mr. Earl Palkenstien, ‘
financial secretary of the Athletic Association, whose |
home is at Onaga, has talked to the boy, as has Vic Hurt.
So I believe we have done everything we can'in the
matter.

I was eager to do everything we could to help the
boy, but since he is in his senior year he apparently
isn't interested now in going out for athletica.

I want to tell you again what a pleasure it was to
see you at Iowa City, and to thank you for your courtesy

With kindest regards, I an

Very sincerely yours,

: _ Director of Physical Education and Recreation
