The entry submitted by Corrigan High School was considered by our distinguish- ed National Awards .Tury to be one of the fifty outstanding entries worthy of award. The purpose of this letter is to tell you that this award carries with it a Freedoms Library for your school, a Freedoms Foundation gold award medal, and an all-expense paid trip to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, for one ill teacher and one fll student from your school. The teacher and student selected are entitled to an expense-paid trip using first class trans- portation facilities over any type of carrier that you wish to selectg air, rail, or automobile. Hotel accommodations and meals will be provided for them at the Valley Forge Hotel in near- by Norristown, Pennsylvania. We will meet them at the Main Line Pennsylvania.Railroad station at Paoli, six miles from Valley Forge, or will meet them at the Philadelphia Inter- national Airport. Because of limited facilities at Valley Forge Hotel, we can assure no addi- tional space for family or friends who desire to accompany them. Nearby Philadelphia, how- ever, twenty-three miles away, offers unlimited housing facilities. During their stay here, your representatives will visit Freedoms Foundation, Valley Forge Park, Washington Memorial Chapel, Washington's Headquarters, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross House, and other national shrines in this area. They will appear on radio and possibly television shows. The Freedoms Library will be shipped to your school following the Valley Forge Pilgrimage. Freedoms Foundation's honor medal will be presented to a representative of your school at regional awards ceremonies to be held during March or April. You will be given more com- plete information about this presentation at an early date. As soon as your representatives have been selected, please advise us of their names and whether or not they will need to have their transportation advanced to them. The responsibility for scheduling their trip is yours. We will furnish transportation and prepay it if requested over any direct route. Your representatives should arrive on the afternoon or evening of May l, and should plan to leave on May 4. They may, however, arrive as late as the morning of May Z and leave as early as the evening of May 3 if conditions demand. Information concerning this award has been given to your local newspaper for release on the afternoon of February ZZ. In the meantime we shall ask your cooperation in keeping this in- formation on a confidential basis until broken by the local press on February 22.. Congratulations! Sincerell' Yours' Kenneth D.
