About Charlie Moran
Decatur, Texas,
April 15, 1943.
Mr. Charlie Moran,
Horse Cave, Kentucky.
Dear Coach:
Mrs. Dodson and I have just re-
turned from our trip to Fort Knox
where we delivered our daughter
to her husband, Lt. H. M. Mote.
One of the bright spots of this
trip was the brief visit we had
with you, near your farm, and on
that fine concrete highway which
I was so glad to learn, was named
for you.
And, speaking of name-sakes, I
believe I told you that my son-in-
law’s middle name was Moran and
that he was a football coach. Imag-
+ ine my surprise when, an hour or
so later at Fort Knox, I was telling
Mote of my visit with you, he told
me that he was named for you. His
father, it seems, was a hot base-
ball fan back in the days when you
were a star for the Dallas Giants.
Incidentally, I believe I have heard
you say that was in the old days
when most players carried files in
their suit cases, for sharpening up
their cleats before each game.
It was nice to see you—so hale
and hearty as you appeared to be.
But those blue jeans you were
wearing didn’t fool me a bit. I
know that attractive farm I saw
there is not due to any work you
have been putting out.
After leaving you, I found my-
self wishing that C, M. Henderson,
Scott Moore, Dutch Hohn or any of
the old gang could have been with
me for our short visit.
May I suggest that you tune in
your radio on April 21st, 8:30 p.m.
(Central War Time), 820, 950 or
1200 kilocycles, for a special A. &
M. College program, I know you
will enjoy it.
So long, Coach, and I hope to see
you again, soon.
