Description

After his playing career with the Bears in the 30s and 40s, Gene Ronzani became the coach of the Green Bay Packers. This February 9th, 1951, two-page letter on attractive Green Bay Packers stationery “To Bob” states the reasons he believes “Bob” should join the Green Bay Packers in 1951. Quarterback Bob Thomason joined the Packers in 1951, so this is possibly written to him. Coach Ronzani's letter and the signature are strong (“9-10”). The letter is in great shape and comes with a Diamond Matchbook of Eugene “Tuffy” Ronzani as a bonus.
