P. H. FALK SUPERINTENDENT THE MADISON PUBLIC SCHOOLS MADISON, WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, RECREATION, AND SAFETY 351 WEST WILSON STREET HOWARD G. DANFORD DIRECTOR September 3, 1943 Dr. F. C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I am making an application for a commission in the Navy as a recreation and welfare officer and have given your name as one of my references as one who has known me for a good many years, I thought I had better bring you up to date on my activities as it has been some time since I have seen you. As you recall, I was at Warrensburg from 1933-1935 as physical education instructor and coach. I went from there to Kansas City where I had six years as teacher of physical education director of intramurals, and for the past two years have been Assistant Director of Recreation here in Madison. I am sorry I did not get to see you when I was in Lawrence in the spring and hope on the next trip out that I will have the opportunity of talking with you a while. Best personal regards, J. K, Kennedy Assistant Director
