Dear Mr. Duncan: 
I am having photostats made of the data in regard to the beginnings of theCompany. Th s includes enough original letters explanatory of and revealing enough of the qualities the Believers in Commercial Aviation head to have at that early date. Also the human investment in a more or less unappreciated form by the government. This alone would have discouraged less stout hearts. The I am bringing this explanation ( via letters and photos) down to the fine point of George "Buck " Weaver. Then the potential value of him understood by pictures showing at the different ages the steady climb to at least initialing the success of Waco. 
Contemporaneously I have pictures of Elwood Junkin showing the beginning of his dreams by pictures at different ages in ships ( then called freaks) that he designed and bringing that to it's inevitable application -- WACO. 
You see the average citizen is interested in anything bearing on Aviation NOW, and find it difficult to turn their minds back to other skeptical days. My relation to aviation has created a universal appeal to many because in as much as I have lived the phaseof sweetheart, wife, mother, and wideo twice at a young and non- air minded age, their hearts have been all tied up in my living and such real living within aviation that they have an interest that is vital . Since I ( and th two children ) are dependent on WACO -- as always -- they are willing to believe too.

Then there is the first Charter -- Weaver Aircraft the dissolution of the same and some pitiful statistics and the complete life history -- the romance of WACO and in the pictures and perhaps the added [[strikethrough]] pe [[/strikethrough]] pictures of the child of each of the two boys -- seems to me that this all should tell a story any one can understand and then when tis universal language, be
