SIR: I have been reading about Nat Lofthouse and his worthiness to receive a knighthood. I honestly hope he becomes Sir Nat.
However, how can they overlook a man who I nominated some time ago for an award. This man devoted 50 years to physical training and teaching boys the art of wrestling. He spent three, sometimes four nights a week, selflessly, and without payment, never asking anything in return. His payment was the satisfaction he got from helping young boys develop into young men of character and confidence.
