Theno Graves Letter
May 27, 1970
Dear Coach
Wish I could put on paper the
feelings I have for you.
To think of the satisfaction that is
yours as a result of shaping the lives and careers of so many people must be
overwhelming.
Your help and guidance to me has put
me in a position to enjoy a degree of success in the business world that would
not have been possible without your help. Many of your "boys" I'm sure
feel as I do towards you.
You have produced All-Americans,
World record holders and the such but I suspect the greatest satisfaction comes
from the fact you helped shape the lives of so many whose names did not draw
banner headlines.
The experiences your "ex's" have had
with you are many and varied and as I write this letter I'm reminded of so many
memories.
It was a great thrill to have you at
my company's twentieth anniversary luncheon for me in Los Angeles in 1966.
Regret that I'm unable to attend your
banquet.
Jo and I are leaving for the Orient. We'll be with you in spirit.
God Bless - again thanks.
Cordially,
Theno
