Letter sent to President Richard Nixon by Mrs. D. L. Bohnstedt

Appre. Re: Dedication of E. High School 8 bill SQ 11088 Timberline Drive **** Utica, Michigan 48087 September 4, 1972 c/s-2 The President The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: As the mother of a seven year old daughter, I would like to thank you for providing the biggest thrill of her life. From the time the announcement was made that you would participate in the dedication of Dwight D. Eisenhower High School, Kara insisted that she must see you. We weren't some of the more fortunate ones with tickets to get inside or up close, and we stood for five hours in the heat and rain, but that didn't matter to Kara. With her face pressed against that fence, she saw you and Mrs. Nixon as you left and re- turned to your helicopter. She "had seen President Nixon and he had dedicated 'her' High School"! As far as Kara was concerned, you couldn't do better than that. I am truly grateful that you made it possible for her to experience this great day. Your visit was the highest honor any community could ever have, and we sincerely thank you, Mr. President, for making August 24th an historical day in Shelby Township. Respectfully, BittyJ.Sohnstedt Mrs D. L. Bohnstedt
