Dear Dr. Gi 1 bertson,

August 2, 1984
I have received your letter of June 4, 1984 informing me of my selection to receive the
Distinguished Mycologist Award and of the presentation to be made on Tuesday, August 7 at
Colorado State University.
I feel deeply honored by my selection, but do not feel up to attending the presentation
and social and must be content with receiving the award in absentia.
Please extend my best wishes to the members of the MSA.
Sincerely,
Charles Drechsler
