Correspondence concerning the commemoration of Nile Kinnick, 1941-1997

1994-08: Page 03

perhaps you might be interested in this.  It actually was inspired by your fine book "A Hero Perished".  I took some items from your publication, some personal items (I was at SUI when he was); some items from newspaper clippings; some info from friends etc and set them to music.  It made quite an appealing script which I offered free of charge to Iowa City and C. R. producers who turned it down sight unseen because "the name has no appeal".  As a consequence I'm producing it here which is admittedly NOT a very good site.  When one has very little (or no) choice they take what they can get.  Should you desire to attend I'd appreciate notification so that I can arrange good seating and proper intro.  You might even bring a few copies of your book, who knows.
