1969 Letter From Chief Walker to Robert Lindboe on San Diego County Council Stationary
John W. Ackermann Scout Executive Telephone 298-6121 Boy Scouts of America San Diego County Council 1207 Upas Street San Diego, California 92103 April 18, 1969 Mr. Bob Lindboe 2310 Prospect Berkeley, California 94704 Dear Bob: It was nice to see you again and to know that you are well and getting along fine. Sorry to hear you are going to be a foot soldier. But with your Scout experience flooded rice patties won't be hard to sleep in. Keep your rear end down thats getting the purple bug the hard way. Yes, another year has gone by and many more faces have passed by but the good leadership you set down your year as Area Chief is still being felt. Keep up the good work and in a few years you will make flag and this old Indian will be on the sideline cheering his head off. I almost made it. Abernathy will do a good job if we put a sidewinder with him to keep him awake. Good luck Bob in your new adventure. Just remember people are people wherever you go. Don't let them get you down - be firm but fair. Sometime when you think of it drop this old Iniand a line.

Dear Bob:

It was nice to see you again and to know that you are well and getting along fine. Sorry to hear you are going to be a foot soldier. But with your Scout experience flooded rice patties won’t be hard to sleep in. Keep your rear end down thats getting the purple bug the hard way.

Yes, another year has gone by and many more faces have passed by but the good leadership you set down your year as Area Chief is still being felt. Keep up the good work and in a few years you will make flag and this old Indian will be on the sideline cheering his head off. I almost made it.

Abernathy will do a good job if we put a sidewinder with him to keep him awake.

Good luck Bob in your new adventure. Just remember people are people wherever you go. Don’t let them get you down – be firm but fair.

Sometime when you think of it drop this old Iniand a line.

Ha-weta-akin-me-in

Sincerely,

Chief (signature)
