Correspondence concerning the commemoration of Nile Kinnick, 1941-1997

NILE   C.   KINNICK
1114    SOUTH 79th
OMAHA    4.    NEBRASKA
March 3, 1955
Mr. W. Earl Hall, Editor

Mason City, Iowa
Dear Earl:
I can't tell you how pleased and grateful I am to learn
that the University has the negative for Nile's picture.
Pleased to know that it is available and grateful to you
and to Enoch Norem for the little news item that did the
trick. It is most unlikely that I would have made another
contact with the University in the effort to locate the
film as I had written to Eric Wilson first and he was
unable to find any trace of it in the Athletic Department
files.
As I told you, this has long been a favorite picture of
ours, and the only existing print that had come to our
attention was the one given by Nile to his aunt and uncle
in Adel,
I am writing to Fred Kent asking for a loan of the film
or the preparation of some 8 x 10 prints which I know
other members of the family will be very happy to have.
Thanks so much for your many kindnesses Earl. This one
emphasizes again that being helpful and friendly really
is your business. Newspapering is just one of the tools
of your trade.
Sincerely yours,
Nile
Nile C. Kinnick
