Nile Kinnick and Nile Kinnick Sr. letters to William C. Stuart, 1941-1983

1983-01-05: Front

UNITED  STATES   DISTRICT   COURT
SOUTHERN    DISTRICT   OF   IOWA
chambers   of  WILLIAM    C    STUART Chief Judge
DES    MOINES.    IOWA    50309
January 5, 1983
Mr. Nile Kinnick, Sr.
423 South 89th Street
Omaha, Nebraska 68114
Dear Mr. Kinnick:
It was good to hear from you and learn
that you are continuing in good health.  I learned through Bob Hobbs that you had not too long ago taken a motor trip to Alaska.  It is great that you have remained so active.
I gave some thought to sending you a
copy of the remarks that I made about Nile at the All State High School Football Banquet. As I was not sure of the condition of your health I did not do so.  I see that your address remains
the same, so I will net hesitate in the future if something comes to my attention.
As I prepared my remarks, many vivid
and pleasant memories returned to my mind.  I was a little hesitant about making the speech as even after all these years, I am inclined to get emotional when I think about Nile.
I sincerely believe that he would have
been one of the real leaders in our government and we' certainly could use his good judgment, integrity and sensitivity at this time.
I will be able to take senior status in
about three and one-half years.  I intend to assume a light workload at that time as my wife and I both
enjoy traveling.  It may be that we will be able to duplicate your trip.
I wish you a Happy New Year and continued good health.
Sincerely, Bill
W. C. Stuart
P.S.I am enclosing a copy of the rough draft of my remarks. The time was limited and I could have gone on and on about
Nile.
