Dear Doc:

I am very grateful for your letter of March 9th, enclosing a
letter of recommendation for use in connection with seeking to
enter the service.

You were very generous; while I did really have a burning desire
to succeed, as far as humanly possible, in helping to make the

K. U. Basket Ball Team in my day live up to its usual high stand-
ard, when I stick with the facts as I remember them, and retain
the proper degree of modesty, I know full well that my contribu-
tion was relatively inconsequential.

Nevertheless, both of your letters were deeply appreciated, and I
do look forward with great pleasure to the day when I will again
have the privilege of visiting with you and other friends on Mt. Oread.

The other day when Lt went to the Local Navy Personnel Procurement
Office, I was surprised and very pleased to find "Gyp" Hill there
filling out his application. He is back from Chicago, once more
with Jordan Marsh Company of Boston, he and his wife and three chil-
dren now living in Braintree, Mass. It was a real treat to see hin,
and we took time out to reminisce about old times.

With regards,

Pop Leg
