Dear Mike - I realize that no words of mine could convey to you, the members of your committee and to all the pilots the happiness and honor which you extended to me in giving that dinner. I was most surprised at the turnout. I know I shall never be able to equal the fine things that were said, but I shall always endeavor to try to do so.

Will you please then accept my sincere and heartfelt thanks. I wish you would convey my gratitude and good feeling to all. I know all who attended did so at great personal inconvenience. Those who were unable to be present would have been were it possible. To each and every one I wish to say, Thanks for a grand evening and a great moment in my life
