Dear Dons i

} t
You never miss a bet, Don. You are always right
on the spot, and the right spot at that.

I genuinely appreciate your fine words of praise
regarding our good basketbell team, To me it is a parallel
of the many struggles you have in your outstanding work
across the way. I can appreciate with you the hours of
‘travail and disappointment, Always fearful that the per-
formers will not come up to your expectations, but they did
in this case and I am thrilled to know that so many fellows
like you and our other good friends were able to be happy

with use

It is darn nice of you towite as you did.
Sincerely yours,

Direetor of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coache
