Dear "Doc",

Eight short and interesting months have disappeared
since I last saw Kansas and it won't be long before I'M
heading back that way again--probably about the middle of
April. I've enjoyed my work out here more than I expected
to in strange surroundings--fouwr months with the Salt
Lake Tribune-Telegram and now four months with this
electrical construction company.

A couple of weeks ago the first steel was poured

from the first of three blast furnaces and yesterday noon
the first slabs of steel were rolled out in the rolling
mill. Yes, it won't be long before the construction end
of the business is washed up and I'll be heading back to
Valley Falls, Kansas, for a short vacation before getting
back in the newspaper game-~this time in the middle west,
I intend to spend several days in Lawrence visithng with
the Svoboda's and with my old acquaintances on the Hill.

Wednesday evening I had the pleasure of seeing our
phenomenal "Thin Man" John Buescher perform during the
last half of the Dow Chemical-Provo Steeler exhibition
basketball game, The same day I received your very
welcome and interesting "Rebound" which I took along to
the gane knowing that John would want to the addresses
of some former Jayhawker cage "greats." Sure enough--
he wanted A/C Charlie Black's California address as
Dow Chemical has several games scheduled down that way.
Having a date for the game I had to cut short my visit
with "Bish."

The high-school sized court preventdDow's tall boys
from displaying their basketball talent to the best
advantage and even prevented "Bish" from attempting his

: - favorite corner shots which won many games for Kansas.
However his three long shots which swished through the
ho@ép without touching the rim were proof enough that his
eye is as good as ever.

fembers of the Dow team include Bob Hunt, formerly
of Kansas Wesleyan; Billy Hassett, from Georgetown U. and
a brother of the NY Yankee's first baseman Buddy Hassett;
Ellefson, a past member of West Texas! tallest basketball
team in the world: and of course Milo Komenich who can
really move around the floor for a big fellow.

}

That's about all now hut keep those "Rebounds" coming,
