Dear "Doc":

I greatly enjoyed your letter of January 4. In
my former letter I failed to say that our youngest
is also a basketball player. Herewith enclosed I
am sending you a program for the Maryville game
last night. You will note on page 7 a picture of

our "baby". The Maryville game last night was a
very close one, Maryville nosing us out 33 to 30.

Mrs. Parker and I were interested in the news of
your family. I shall be glad to report on ours.
Mary Elizabeth is married and lives in Cape
Girardeau. Her young son, Bobby, was one year
old day before yesterday. I know now how a
grandfather feels. You, ot course, have known
for some time. Bobby is a perfect specimen, if

I ever saw one. Jimmy, our oldest son, is with
the Aluminum Company of America, in Cleveland;
Walter, Jr., is doing his second year in graduate
physics at the University of Missouri. Billy is
here. He finisnes, I believe, at the end of next
summer session. He thinks he is interested in
journalism but at present is a bit discouraged by
the fact that the cubs receive such small pay and
many of them upon finishing schools of journalism
do not find employment. So I don't know what the
future holds for hin.

tell your son, Bob, tnat I wish him every success
in carrying out his plans to go to the Harvard
Medical School. If a boy has the stamina, the
field of medicine is one of the most attractive.

Mrs. Parker joins me in the very best of good
wishes to all of you.

Most sincerely yours,

 
  
  

. We PARKER, President
