Max, you id © great job the latter part of your
basketball seagon. You certainly came through in great shape - some-
thing that Z was comvinced you could have done from the beginning,

the job, and we will be counting on great things when you return.

drop by and say hello. We will be here ell swmer, and es it appears
we will be pretty busy.

With all good wishes, I am
