That's so cool. "Dear Folks"

Cool, but I bet its a form letter to all the recruits.

With as few people as they actually recruit for basketball, I wouldn't be surprised if it was original. You also have to consider the state of copy machines and printers in 1980.

I agree that it's probably an original...especially considering that there are a few grammar errors or places that have a real conversational tone.

But, after the printing press some 500 years ago...making copies shouldn't be that much of an issue :laugh2:

That's a piece of sport's history right there. I would have loved to see the rest he received. Probably like the same stack a high school senior gets when they nail a few sections of the ACT perfect.

Cool.
