Dear Mr. Allen:

You will remember me as the Albany, NY. "Times-Union" sports writer
whom you met in Madison Sqyare Garden a few years ago with Pat Kennedy.

Since my induction in the Army two years ago as a $21 a month buck
private, I have contimed with my football aml basketball officiating.
last year I worked in Pennsylvania. During the past year I worked in tle
Denver, Colorado Area, and worked in the National AAU tournament just
completed as a referee with considerable success, according to the very
laudatory comments in the Denver sports pages.

I also handled som of the University of Utah's games when they played
in the Denver Area.

As I am now located at the PW Camp at Camp Phillips at Salim, I should
appreciate it if you would keep m in mind if there is any possibility of
an ousbider officiating in your confere nme during the next season. I am
a meinber of the National Association of Approved Basketball Officials and
of the New York State Association of Certified Football Officials.

Thnk you for anything you can do for m.

incerely yours,

én Lowemberg
2nd Lt CMP
