Ozzie Kristen LetterOzzie Kristen Letter

Apr. 22, 1970

Dear Bill:

On this you day, please accept warmest greetings from one of your little guys on the cinders from way back in the 20's.

The experiences that you and Fran made possible are deep in my memories, and that training will always be appreciated.

Bill, one thing I'd like to add as a special bit of gratitude: One day I mentioned that my trumpet playing days were limited because of the teaching duties.  You gave me hell for thinking of such a thing, and told me I should NEVER give up playing.  I followed you advice and am now playing more that ever and liking it!

Good luck, Bill,

Ozzie

Family name has been changed.  I was Oscar Kutsrliuski, class of 1930, now Ozze Kristen.
