Upon entering Iowa, several students emphatically advised me to 'stay away from Gordon.' Had I followed that advice, it would have been one of the most crucial mistakes in my 35 years. Ironically, you have helped me as much as any professor or teacher throughout my academic career. I appreciate your help and personal interest. Sincerely, Warren. 8/6/70." Unbound. View Sample (PDF)
