Dear Mr. Knabenshue:

In response to a request from Mrs. Florence J. Kestle, the Aviation Hall of Fame is attempting to arrange for your transportation to Dayton to attend the ceremonies when your father, A. Roy Knabenshue, is enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame.
[[pencil]]Tickets are confirmed at TWA here[[/pencil]]
We are trying to secure transportation for you on TWA Flight #20 leaving Los Angeles at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, December 15 and arriving at Dayton at 6:51 a.m. December 16. Return is planned on December 17 on TWA Flight #319 leaving Dayton at 3:45 p.m. for Chicago and TWA Flight #771 leaving Chicago at 5:00 p.m., arriving at 7:05 p.m. in Los Angeles.

You should confirm your intended flight with TWA in Los Angeles. We will mail the ticker to you if we can negotiate its purchase.

We are also still attempting to arrange other transportation on military aircraft for you.

Please advise me immediately if you plan to attend the ceremonies. If I do not hear from you by December 10th, we will cancel all transportation plans.

 Sincerely,
