Mr. U. Floyd Rible,
740 Miselissippi Ste,
Lawrence, Kangase

Dear Floyds

7 I was desolated to receive your letter of information
telling me that you wore leaving use I felt very guilty in not
making more friendly contacts with you while you were here, but
I have been so doggone busy that I mve just mglected ny friends
for war and business reasonse ‘ 7 |

Mpg. Aidlen and I called on you and lirs. Rible early but
you were out, and then when you called we were out. Living so
close to each other, it does seem that we should see each other

more often. :

When Jay Jakosky was here we played golf together, and
we wore quite sure we were going to play a lot more, but after
Jey left it seems as if our comtacts were broken in a golfing
way. And in Rotary, being tied up with administration and
running the program off kept me so confomded busy I couldn't
visit with my good friends. | |

All of this is a darn poor alibi for not having seen
you more because it has been my loss. However, I do want you
to knew that we terribly regret losing you, but we know that
where bigger things aall a fellow that is where he should go.

I trust you have oodles ani oodles of success, and I want you

to know that if we ever go to the coast you will be one of the

fellows that I will be wanting to see first. It ms been grand .

to have you in Rotary and you have made a very definite oontri- \
bution. But it has all been do short.

With every good wish, I am

Rotarily yours,
