Dear Ruth:

Zam sorry that I missed you and your brother when
you were here for the homecoming football game. It so happened
that I was chairman of the Nomination Committee that selected the
officers for the U. of Kansas World War II Memorial, the Scenic
Driveway with Campanile. I an enclosing one of these for your
perusal, as I thought you might like’to read about it. They always
arrange & setup like that for us so that we are never in our offices,
_beeause the university oi’ficials realize that it is a good time to
have a meeting of that kind to get the old timers back. ‘Then there
were two or three crippled high school boys who wanted me to examine
their injured knees, so I was busy as a perverbial one-armed paper
hanger with the itch. I did want to see you but it was impossible.

I see that they are giving you plenty of work to do
and I know you like that. The fact that you have transferred back.
to the athletic office, I am sure is a happy experience for you.

The added fact that you are in Pensacola in the winter time shouldn't
make you unhappy either. I certainly envy an opportunity to bask in
the Florida sunshine this winter. :

yo I am also sending you our varsity basketball schedule, —
as I though you would like to see one. |

With all good wishes for your continued suecess, I am

‘Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
