"Bill" Schroeder, Chuck Benedict CO-CHAIRMEN: Irv Terry, Rudy La Russo EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: David Marmel July 8, 1969 Mr. A1 Freeman The Sands Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Als Thank you very much for the photographs you were kind enough to send. There is one missing, however, which I would need for several purposes. I am re- ferring to the group photograph of the athletes only. The one similar shot which I received today, was of the athletes and City of Hope officials. I trust you have received the information you asked for, and I am still attempting to get KTTV to provide you with a video tape of the program. Best regards.
