     I just had lunch with William (Bill) Chaplick and his associate, Michael Brennan. They feel very strongly that your facility in New Berlin would be an ideal place to relocate their Milford Academy.

     I want you to know that I, like a lot of football coaches in this country, know that Bill runs a legitimate and needed educational opportunity in a well organized and purposeful environment. I think it will add dignity. It is a disciplined and successful program that will benefit your school district and become another plus in a town and town environment.

     Please consider them. Reach out to your leaders in the community, and I feel confident that it will benefit your area with good jobs and a new economic source to aid your area from many areas.

     If you would like to talk to me more about this so I may endorse Bill Chaplick more adequately, you contact me at the Syracuse University Football Office or at my office.

Respectfully submitted,

Dick MacPherson
