Dear Docs

Wish to offer a tardy thank-you for those two
swell pictures fou sent me. Both met the order completely and it
won't be long until I have one in a book, the other framed and on
a wall of my room. :
| Hope Bob and Mitt Will comply some day before
too long.

As you've probably heard I gave up my job on
the Star for what I hopé will be a season whth Brooklyn in pro
football. On the face, of course, this looks like a silly thing to
do, but IT-have two good reasons.

First is that I want to help my folks who need a little

boost right now due to my dad's i111 he&lth and oe, that I think
I can do myself a'lot more good by playing a season then trying to
land a sprot job back there than sitting on the Star where I can't
get ea ihe jnoré’ desk. 3 | |

Of course it's the biggest gamble I ve ever taken, but
I don't figure it will be the last by any means. I have a lot of
confidence in sticking with the club and am -convinced Igm doing the

right thing.

Thanks once again for the pictures. No telling when I'll

see you again as I leave for Princeton,N.J. in a couple of days.
