Sept. 26, 1941 Commander Naval Reserve Station Ployd Bennett Pield New York, N. Y. Dear Sir, I am very happy to recommend to you Mr. Gordon Durne whom I have come to know as a student at the University of Kanses and a member of the freshman basketball squad. Gordon is a very personable young man, blessed with a wirey physique and very quick Yreation, and responds to leadership in a highly satisfactory way. He is a very energetic young man end this summer held a responsible position in the Bank of New York. He is highly intelligent and has made fine grades at the University. If he had remained here he would have been eligible for the Varsity basketball team this year. I have found Gordon te be neat, courteous, and capable, and I am happy to recommend him without reservation. Sincerely, Director of Physical Education and Recreation FCA/pg Varsity Basketball Coach
