Dear Chuck:

Thank you for your good letter of the S@th ultimo
regarding possible jobs in the recreation department of
the Park Board. I talked with some of the boys here and
the only men that I lmew of who could qualify was Jack
Ballard who lives in Kansas City.

It happens he is a Sig Alph, and Frank Gage, the
mayor's son, had already directed Jack to the proper
sources. Unless a boy lives in Kansas City the position
would not be available. And when the boys do live in
Kansas City they generally get on to the ropes before
we have an opportunity to advise them.

you te know that I appreciate |
I am always glad to hear from
I am hoping to drop in to have
that long-promised visit with you, and if you don't buy
me @ iumch I will buy you one.

Remembering our early days with much pleasure, and
hoping to renew some of the reminiscences, I am

Praternally yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
