Lyons, Kansas April 9, i940 Dr. F. 0. Allen Director of Physical Educatioh University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doctor Allen: I want to thank you for calling Iola in my behalf. Superintendent Fleming wrote that you gave me a. nce recommendation, and although I didn't get the position, I surely do appreca&ate your effort and interest. I am sorry that I did not. get to see you in Kansas City, but.you were awfully busy, and I didn't want to bother you. Although I have enjoyed my work here at Lyons, I would like to make a change this year. We have had a pretty good record in my four years here- wan two league titles in football, two in basketball, ana owe in track. I have also been working on my Master's degre in physical education at the University of Lowa, and by the end of next summer will have all but fave hours completed. Thanks again for your interest. Sincerely
