Kingsley M. Clarke correspondence regarding Nile Kinnick - Bob Feller Historical Marker dedication program, 1964

Dear Bob:
We are very happy to have your
letter of yesterday, and especially grateful for the prints you enclosed.    In fact,
we didnot know that you had joined in the
picture taking.
The picture of the boulder and
tablet is superb.    I hope I can do as well
on my next trip to Adel. And the personnel
you chose to flank the marker pleases us
no end, the smiling and the unsmiling.   It
was wonderful to  see you four men again,
who were such close friends of Nile's.
Earlier this week we wrote to Max
regretting that we will not be in Iowa City
for the reunion of the Iron Men, At first,
When Evy suggested it last Spring, we thought
we might like to see the boys and enjoy the
game. But more sober thought brought the
conclusion we would find it a trying time.
Thanks again, Bob, for your kindness, and if you find Omaha on your route
please plan to call us and spend a little
time with us if you can.
Sincerely
Nile C. Kinnick, Sr. Bob Hogan
