Dear Mr. and Mrs, Kinnick,
I am sending along prints of the three photographs
that I took recently at the memorial dedication at Adel. I
am quite sure you will be interested in having them.
It was a real pleasure to have been permitted to
attend the function at Adel. As you both know 1 had many
many fine visits with Nile during college days and afterwards, and also met and visited with Ben during some of his
training days in Florida. If my two boys turn out to be the
type of young men that Nile and Ben were I would consider
that my parental mission had indeed been a blessed success.
I am grateful for the opportunity, after all these
years, of meeting Mrs. Kinnick and George for the first time.
I had felt though that I'd known you both for years.
My best wishes to you both, always.
Sincerely, Bob Hogan
