Mr. Fran Welch,
Emporia State College,
Emporia, Kansas

Dear Fran:

I certainly appreciate your kind invitation to attend the Bill Hargiss Dinner at Emporia May 28. Because my oldest son is getting married that weekend, it will be impossible for me to attend. Otherwise, I certainly would be there.

Bill is a wonderful man. Through the years he has been a great coach and has influenced many young men in a worthwhile manner. Above all, he is an outstanding citizen and American.

I was attending Kansas State University at Manhattan and Bill was coaching at the University of Kansas, I was always favorably impressed by the courtesy and sincere interest of this gentleman in all young athletes.

He treated friend and foe alike. Through the years, I have always looked forward with pleasure any opportunity to see Bill and visit with them.

Please convey to him my best wishes on this memorable occasion. With kindest personal regards, I am,

Cordially yours,

Frank W. Boyd, Jr.
