Description

Schulz replies to an old classmate—"I never was much of a student"

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, April 3, 1967. Letter to former high school classmate Sherman Schultz, in full: "It was very good to hear from you after all of these years. I am amazed at all of the great things you are doing at the observatory. As I recall, you always were one of the bright ones, and I am glad to see that you have fulfilled your youthful promise. I have had contact with Miss Paro who used to teach Illustration at Central, but outside of that, I have had no contact with anyone else. Of course, I never was much of a student and didn't take part in many of the activities so don't really expect to have too many good memories. I really appreciate you taking the time to write, and hope that we will be able to see each other again some day." Schulz makes a pair of corrections to the text in his own hand. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, as well as a copy of a provenance letter from the recipient, in part: "Charles and I graduated from Central High School in 1940...In 1967 Life magazine had a cover and article devoted to Snoopy and pals. I determined to wrote 'Sparky' (as was his nickname) and congratulate him on his success...Evidently I was the first and only one of our large graduating class to acknowledge his early success...with this in mind I could safely say that letters from Sparky to former classmates could be rather scarce at this time in history."
