College Station (Brazos County), Texas - Wednesday, May 9, 1956 Letter from 'Mom ‘ Ciaghorn Byron A. (Scotty) Parham, Sen ate president, received a letter re cently from Mrs. Irene (Mom) Ciaghorn which expressed her ap preciation to all of the students here. The letter is as follows: Dear Scotty, Though I am still not up to writing myself, I am having my brother write this letter of Thanks to you and all of the Aggies for all you are doing for me. Of the first people I saw when I was brought to Baylor Hospital was an Aggie intern and believe me that helped a lot. I will be at home with all of this cast until June 10 when I go to the Meth odist hospital for removal of the cast and x-rays to help determine just what the next step will be— surgery or leaving the cast off. If I’m okay, then I will probably come back to Aggieland and will I be glad to get back. And so until I can thank you personally, may I say thanks a million to you and all of the other boys that have been so nice to me.
