Mr. H. W. Hargiss

Dear Bill:

One of the good things that happened to me while a student at Kansas University was meeting you in the fall of 1930, and during the following 4 years having your guidance and inspiration in Track. You emphasized the importance of determination and a positive attitude toward our efforts in sports. I have found in the many years since then that these same things are a must in business, and in all activities of my life.

While I did not succeed in the mile and two-mile runs like Cunningham or McComb, I enjoyed every minute of the track opportunities I had under your direction. It is a great privilege for young men to have an opportunity to come under the leadership of men like yourself.

Congratulations and best wishes to you at your big celebration. Wish I could be there to say "Hello" personally and thank you for all that your efforts have meant for me.

Sincerely

Eugene F. Niswenger
