Doc, I have appreciated everything you ever done for me
or my friendse I certainly want you to kmow that you have always been my
greatest aid and advisor in college and I am glad you weree You have done
much to help me and I won't ever forget ite

I know when you helped Jean and Dick why and what fore
It helped them both as schooling would have been impossible for both otherwisee
They are both deeply grateful to you for ite I don't believe you were disap-=
pointed in eithere If you were I hope you will let me knows

I know my grades and etce were poor the first 3 semesters of
collegee However, you know they have improved and that I am way above the
board nowe I am sorry if I have failed in other respects. For the last year
I tried hard to please everyone I could and make friends and those who disliked
me change their mind somee I really thought I was doing bettere

Doc, I told you before that if I had not made myself
scholastically eligible and otherwise, that I would expect anything from youe
We made a man's bet and I intend to keep up my end of ite Naturally you are
the one who determines my worth and whether or not I made goode That's the
way it was and still is as far as I am concernede

Until this summer my athletics were to important to mee
Now, it has a different light to mee I honestly believe your many lectures
and etce on scholarship first and athletics first has gone home. Athletics
have taken a different color to mee I believe for the best to.

I have never intentionally let anyone down in any ball
gamee I have tried what was my best at the time even though it was very poor
at timese I could never do that Doc because I love to win to well. About my
attitude Doce It's changed so much lately. It's really a pleasure to look
to next year. If I ever have it Doc I shall have it when I play againe My
attitude will be the beste You can thank Jean for thate She has done so much
for me even though she thinks so littlee I am lucky I have her and I hope
my luck never failse

Doc your the coach what you say goese If you want to
use me you'll get the best I've gote Otherwise I*tll be on the side rootinge

There is a lot here but it's all straight and you can take
it for what you think it's worthe I slipped once with my mouth and all I can
say is I'm sorry and never againe

Doc whether or not I goto school depends entirely on
Dre Franciscoe His decision is final and law to me. Nothing else will enter
into the decision I makee

You don't think I'm in shape and I can't go the routee
Im not sure about that myselfe I think I can if my legs aren't shote
Actually Doc, I'm better than I figurede If you think I'm not explain to
mée I've kept myself as best as I can what these inactive 5 months will
do I* don't knowe
