WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY Z. Smith Reynolds Professor of American Studies November 11, 1988 Mr. Sterling Houston 708 Nevada San Antonio, TX 78203 Dear Sterling: Thank you for the letter, for the vintage Vaughn and Cole. Just to hold them in my hands and read the liner roles took me back a few years — just a few. I'm not surprised at all that you quit the job. That was pending from the summer when the consultant introduced lard rather than butter, and reduction of quality to achieve commercial success. J Gary sent me 40,000 chicken wings from Bob's Smokehouse. He is such a delight. So your Mom has decided to get married — before you or Gary — and somehow, I'm not in the least surprised. Best wishes on "A'Lelia" and,n,of course, "Driving Wheel" which I think is so wonderful. Strength to you, to your heart, and yo a AngeJ/5u MA:mg Box 7314 Reynolda Station • Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27109 • (919) 761-5114
