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

Dear Bill:
Recently a friend in Adel sent us a clip
from the Adel paper reporting on your
speech on November 28th to the All-State
High School foot ball players in the meeting in Iowa City.  The most interesting
point was your quote from Nile, "I am
more convinced than ever that desire is
80$ of the success in athletics".  And I
am sure that was in his mind for every
serious activity he undertook.
Last Monday I watched the David Hartman
interview with Tom Harmon, Glen Davis and
Gale Sayers. And Tom Harmon said almost
the same thing, which promted me to send
a note to Tom on that point. Surely it is
a prime factor in the accomplishment of
every good work.
I don't see the Iowa papers regularly but
some times your name appears in the press
west of the Missouri, and I rejoice in
reading about what you are doing, and
remember the year you and Nile spent together.
I won't be 90 until next April, and enjoy
good health and activity.
Happy New Year, and many more.
Sincerely Nile Kinnick, Sr.
