Doar “poet:

Like everyone else, I keep thinking that I should
get into some branch of the service so that I might be able
to help. As most of my training is in physical education
i featurelly think that thie field is the one thet IT should
pet into if possibile.

I know thet it is impossible to enlist now, but
I thought that you might be eble to refer me to.someone
that could furnish me the informction that I might need to
be pleced in this field. I really would like to get into
the FBI but I do not sunvose I would heve » cualifying chance
with them. If you have any data that I could use concerning
the FBI I would appreciate hearing sbout it.

I see that you have developed another fine team
this yeer. I want to wish you the best of luck in working
towerd esnother championship season.

I heve a pretty good team, we lost to Newton
byyfour points end ELDorado by one point. I have three
boys gredueting this year that would meke some college
fine players. They sre all good students as well as good
players. If they get a chance I think that two of these
three boys plan to attend KU. The “Big boy" wants to go
to Kanses Stete for engineering. I am not trying to tell
the boys where to go to school, I just keep telling them
I hope thev go on to college so thet I can read and hear
great things sbout them.

The whole teem is pointing toward the class A
state championship this yerr and of course I would feel
good if they win the chempionship.

In closing I want you to know that I still
value your judgment 100% and also thenk you for all that
you have alreedy done gor me.

Resvectfully
