Mr. Joseph P, Cosand

The Junior College District of

St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri

4386 Undell Blvd., St. Louis 8, Mo.

Dear Dr. Cosand:

It was a sincere pleasure meeting you and Mrs. Tygard. The courtesies and cooperation shown to me by your staff will always be remembered. From the time I filed for the office of Trustee, I was treated as if I were one of the staff members of the College

District. I shall never forget the past campaign.

I have always been interested in the Junior College and higher education for the

St. Louis area. Your attention is invited to the enclosures supporting higher education by the American Legion and myself. I wrote the original resolution which was submitted

._ by my Post, Naturally we were all pleased when the city and the county voted for the

^ P Junior College District.

It was noted during my short campaign that many citizens were not familiar with the new college. Some were confused, they thought I was running for a local scho I board.

There were many Legionnaires who stated that they could not vote for me because they did not live in my district. I tried to explain the new college district program, hoping they would support the college in the future.

Again, I want to thank you, the Trustees and Mrs. Tygard for keeping me Informed, As a Vocational Rehabilitiation counselor for the State Department of Education, if I can be of any service to any of the disabled students, please be free to call on me.

With best wishes,

Daniel L, Chance
