Ralph Colegrove Letter
4-24-1970
Mr. Bill Hargiss
Emporia, Kansas
Dear Coach:
Naturally my thoughts ran
back many times to the good old days, the good times, as well as the
good games we had together at Good Old KSTC. I never made the Pro
Team but I did learn a few pointers about College football, and
certainly I give you all the credit.
I well remember how carefully, yet
forcefully, you told me what would happen to me if I ever let an opponent go on
the outside around my end.
I also remember when we played at
Wichita you called names of the players and I said, "Coach you remember that big boil on
my hand?" You stopped me and said "Get in there and play football -- It
will never hurt after it bursts."
I could never close this letter
without saying that I had a big advantage of my teammates, in that I know so
well your wonderful Christian father and mother.
I hope I may have a brief of this
gala event so that, especially, I can learn of your whereabouts, and when you are
sunning yourself.
Sincerely,
Ralph N. Colegrove
