Bellflower, California
April 14, 1970

Dear Bill:

I am sorry I cannot attend the banquet which will be given you May 28 in honor of your services as head coach at K.S.N.

Your inspirational leadership and coaching was responsible for the remarkable success of the Kansas State Normal in winning the large majority of the State Championships in Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track from 1914 to 1917.

I had the pleasure to participate in the pole vault in the track meets from 1914 to 1917, I also enjoyed playing on the State Championship Basketball Team of 1917 which won eleven of twelve conference games. We lost a close game of 33 to 29 to the Kansas Aggies who were the Missouri Valley Champions in 1917.

On our team Captain Harold Cutler was All State Forward, Guy Cross was All State Center, and Karl Kaiser was All State Guard. Best wishes for your continued Happiness.

Sincerely yours,

Harry O. Van Petten
