She received the following letter
in reply:
“Dear Sarah;
"Thanks a lot for your letter.
Can truly say that it was one
of the most delightful surprises
that has ever happened to me.
"Hoped that college would
hold many nice things in store
for me but never dreamed that
one of my first experiences
would be to stay at a sorority
house. Even thinking of such
an affair does things to me.
“Will be most happy to stay
with you and Charmayne. In
fact, the word happy is a very
feeble expression of my feel
ings.
"The list of events for the
Duck Preview really sounds
swell and truly appreciate your
obtaining a date for me. My
height is 5 feet 10 inches,
weight 185 and am a blond
with a crew haircut.
“Incidentlv, there are a
couple of other fellows coming
to Eugene with me and they
to want to stajt at the Tri-Delt
house.
"Since you haven’t time to
write me again, will see you in
person to discuss this in furth
er detail.
"All for now — thanks again
for your kind invitation and in
closing want to say that the
broadminded viewpoint of the
colleges is certainly to my lik
ing!
Sincerely,
Terry Dirks
