Robert E. Dineen
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

March 6, 1980

Dear Mrs. Garrett:

It only seems like yesterday when Ray and you were in Milwaukee and we were trying to interest him in becoming an executive of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. We were very anxious to have him come with us because he had the kind of qualities we looked for in good men. But, as I look back, I think he made the right decision. Ray loved the law and was cut out to be a lawyer. I am sure he would have developed into a first-class executive, but he would have been in the wrong field considering his talents.

Mrs. Dineen and I were genuinely sorry to learn of his passing. It is always bad when death takes good people like him. We have very happy memories of him, and we wanted you to know that you and the members of your family have our deepest sympathy.

I would have written you earlier, but Mrs. Dineen and I were in Florida and did not learn of his death unwil we returned to Milwaukee.

Sincerely,

Bob Dineen

[NOTE: RAY GARRETT WAS RECRUITED BY NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE LATE 60S.]
