Dear Old No. 1 Utility Man:

Paul, I feel as if I had let you down by not
writing sooner, but I couldn't let a mimeographed
ietter go without a personal and warm expression
of friendship and best wishes to one of the finest
gentlemen and one of the finest captains I have ever
had.

I have felt many times that you were a member
of our family. You seemed so easy to get along with
and so understanding. I have evaluated your friend-
ship very, very highly, and my sincerest wish is
always for your safety and your continued success
and happiness. May every good thing come to you.

With all good wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
PCA :AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
