Dre George A. Esterly, the patron saint of athletics on Massachusetts
Street, wrote me from his beautiful Estes Park summer retreat. “Let me thank
you for the Rebounds, I enjoyed it so much that I hope I may be favored again.
So many of those boys I know so well, that I enjoyed it more than I can tell
youe" We will be sending you another Rebounds, Doctor, and your many friends
who receive this still count you the number one peppereupper, when enthusiasm
is needed for any athletic team that can beat Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Kansas State or Iowa State. In fact, you started supporting Kansas teams long
before some of these schools were ever in the Big Six or the Missouri Valley.
