Dear My. Aitken,

I am very happy to write you concerning the qoniittintions- of Mr.
Glen Oatman--who you are considering hiring for the position of
Professional of the Li neoln, Country Club.

I've know Glen Oatman from the time he was & aN in high schoole

Mr. Irving Hill, the president of the Lawrence National Bank said
- te me, when Oatman was in high school, "Phog, I want you to give j
Glen Oatman a job at the erate He wants to go to K.U."

I said, "Mr. Hill, we deo ont have any job that I know of, but I'll
try to help hin."

Mr. Hill said, =~ @ job for ‘nde ~~ he's a fine boy and he needs
help® °

Glen Oatmen was caddy for Mr. Hill and with this in mind I started
a SiteHole ccelf course on the top of Mt. Oread and put Glen Oat-
man in charge of the tees and the fairways. Of course we had to
 gtart from scratch and were limited in our expenditures, but Glen
Ostman set about his tasks in a workmanlike manner. We paid him
on an hourly basis. He worked his way largely through school with
the work that I could give him. He graduated in the School of Bus-
iness and has done a splendid job. It was through Mr. Hill that
Blen Oatmen got his positicn with the paper manufacturing company —
in St. Louis. Mr. Hill is also president of the paper manufacturing |
company here called "The Jeyhawker Box Works".

Glen is a very clean and fine young man. He does not touch liquor,
or did not at all when he was at the University and I've never seen
him drink. In other words, he's a fine young gentleman. He has a
_ pleasing personality and it's my opinion that if you enous hire hin
you would find him to be a teacher rather than an ordinary "pre".
Glen coached the Kansas golf team after his playing eligibility was
over, and he did a fine job of it. It is a pleasure for me to
recommend him to you.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation
FCA pe : Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach
