He has been unselfish and contributed time and expense toward the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Intermural program and the Euless Recreation Program. On three occasions when the Euless bus was inoperative and he loanded us the Hurst Bowling Alley bus free of charge for the complete summer. It is from this past experience that I personally believe his extablishment would add to the total recreation program in our city even if in Mr. Peterson's position it is a business venture. I know from past experience his morals standards are high and he demands this same high standards from all participants in his program. It is on this past experience that I could say in complete honesty I personnally believe his establishment will be a credit to our community."
