Dear Coach:

5; Here we are knocking on your door again, and this time
it s a story about yourself that we want. Jn view of the fact that
your teams have won 22 out of 29 Big Six titles, plus the fact that
your son Bob is a vital part of your current team, we'd like to do
a yarn on Dre Forrest ©. Allen and a view of his views on basketball.

Wetve got plenty of biographical dope on you, coach. Among
the notes we d like to have from you are: ©

What you consider the biggest reason why basketball has
mushroomed to such popularitye..oWhat you think basketball is headed
foresesHow it can be improved, if possible.o..What you think is wrong
with the game, if anything....“easons for your great success at

anSaSeeeewho is the greatest player you've coached...Greatest you've
seeneooa few notes about your basketball playing sone.-and anything
else of background interest that you care to tell about yourself.

And if you have a picture of Bob and yourself, taken
together, we could make good use of that, too.

Thanx much for past favors, and we're hoping you'll
be able to help us out again with this requesto

Sincerely,
By end fae
