Dear Phog:

Just want to let you know how much I enjoyed seeing and
being with you on your recent visit to Ghicago and it was
indeed a pleasure to meet your lovely family-lMrs. Bess Allen,
Jane,Eleanor and Robert.Milton, I have not had the pleaure
of meeting just yet.

The cab ride from the Allerton Hotel to the Coliseum and the
discussion of various nicknames given you in the past brings

to memory an incident relative to my home life in Independence,
Missouri many years ago. Beleive me or not, my father always
spoke of you as “Frog” Allen and I can and alwayé will remeinber
so well the expiaining that my sister Nellie Port,ifty brother
Eugene and I used to do to correct him-but in vain. We almost
fell off of our chairs laughing at him and he especially got

a kick out of Mr. W.T."Big Pete” and"Dick", You know he was an
old time Sigma Chi and the eighth oldest living at the time he |
passed away at age 87 in 1957. If you remember he was quite a
"visitor" about the Allen Brothers Garage on Maple Avenue. It
is hard to realize that the aforementioned jovial and good
times took place over twenty two years ago.

Expect to be in touch with Hubert from time to time while he

is in Chicago. Do you remember that big old seven passenger
Cadillac that Elmer and Hubert "shoved down my father's throat “
in 1913?Most every member of our family had real pleasure for
eight long years out of that old bus.

My connection as sales promotion man with this organization is
only temporary. Intangible service is hard to sell, My main
thought in mind is to re-establish myself in Kensas City where
I will be among some real people.I wish we had more older Phi
Psits that had the enthusiasm and everlasting spirit of the
Fraternity that you have today and always have had,at least as
far back as I can remember.

Wishing you and your family continued success and hapiness,
I remain

Fraternally yours,
