FERGUS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Cc. G. MANNING, PRINCIPAL LEWISTOWN, MONTANA July 13, 1945 Mr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Forrest: While this is not strictly a letter relating to Rotary, I wish to express to you my appreciation of the opportunity of associating with you at the International Convention and for your fine contribution to the group. I have just completed our District Assembly work and finished my schedule for official visits. Where the gas or trans- portation facilities will come from to enable me to travel some 4500 miles in meking the visits is yet to be found. Now, if I may change to business and recall our conversation relative to available material for physical education and coaching, I should like to say to you that I am in need of a good man who can teke over physical education work with boys and do the coaching in basketball and football. He will have an assistant to help him with the coaching work. This position will pay $2500 to $2800 for the first year and we may, if necessary, stretch this amount a bit. J should like, however, to keep within the schedule if possible. There is a pretty good future in the position at Lewistown and I am sure anyone would agree that it is a rather desirable community in which to live. I am enclosing an information sheet which will give you more details about the school set-up and the community. I shall be very grateful to you for any assistance which would put me in contact with men who might be available for the position or I am willing to let the matter rest in your hands by saying to you that I would be very pleased to accept a man whom you might recommend. Will you please use telegraph wires collect for any messages which you would like to send. Thanking you for any services which you may render, I J : ) | Sincerely, Ob90f atte F CGM: GT
