Dear Looie: Looks to me like you birds would have invited the Texas Private Fliers Association down for your airport doins. I ain't been invited either but I might come down and think it only fair to warn you. Us newspaper guys don't need no invitation. We come anyway, and if our press pass don't get us in, we climb over the fence! Best regards,
Cordially,
(George) George E. Haddaway, Editor

Surprised that you Am deeply hurt to think that you needed an invitation. My apologies. To satisfy your insurmountable ego consider this as an invitation and don't fail to be here.
