Dr. Sam Smith
President
Washington State University
Pullman, WA 99164-1049
Dear President Smith:
The past month of going through the personal effects of Gertrude Gannon-Bryan, has not been without some bright moments.
I would like you to know that Richard Old was especially respectful of our desire to carry out her wishes that Washington State University be given certain papers and memorabilia of interest which had belonged to her father, the first president of your fine institution. Mr. Old’s knowledge and interest was contagious. He is to be commended for his loyalty, efficiency and compassion.
We look forward to continuing the family tradition of WSU involvement.
