Transcription of Olympic Village LetterKansas runner Glenn Cunningham wrote this letter from the Olympic Village shortly after competing at the 1936 Olympiad in Berlin. OLYMPISCHES DORF, den August 9, 1936 Dear Mr. Heath: Just received your letter and enjoyed hearing from you. I remember you very well. In fact, it seems only a short while ago that I was in athletics at Elkhart and playing in the ball games that you referred. I guess it has been seven years but it doesn't seem that long. The Olympic Games are over as far as track and field is concerned. As you know I lost my 1500 m. race. Lovelock ran a beautiful race. The weather was cold and rainy all through the games. Our boys came through in most of the events. Personally I wished for some Kansas heat for my legs. I hope this sheet of stamps is what you had in mind. Sincerely,
