Dear Coach:
With much pleasure I read in the Eagle where your old boys at Emporia had a
dinner and homecoming in your honor, May 28.
Wish I could have been with all of you.
Some of my old teammates did make it back including the Dutchman from Dodge,
that great all-round athlete George Holtfreritch. Haven't seen George since
'22-'23 season when we played for you at Emporia.
Another of your good ones at Emporia, Dunning laid out a championship golf
course called Pawnee Prairie here in Wichita, and it's going to be real test of
golf. Bob, as I remember played both football and was a good one for you in
track.
The same week-end you and your boys were together at Emporia, the Newton OLD
BOYS (1897-1928),
held their annual reunion, and memorial service in Newton. Many of this group
played for you at Emporia, and Lawrence. For this reason, knowing you might want
to learn 'where they are now', am sending you under separate cover the
particulars and a new roster on the Newton 'bunch'. Anyhow Bill, congratulations, and may you have good
health and happy days for many years.
Yours,
Carmen F. Newland
PS for your information, you and Frank Lindley were the TOP MEN, I played
for.
