Mickey Brutto sent this photo from Naples, Florida along with a donation for the fund to purchase Rowlesburg High School. He wrote a note saying:
"Recently I read that donations for the cause are being accepted for the project. Enclosed is a donation for your project. Hoping that your project is a successful one.
Many years have gone by since I attended RHS. I walked from Manheim to get there daily. Since I left RHS, I journeyed on with much success along the way. I have a picture of the RHS football team sitting on the front steps of the high school which includes me. This picture hung in front of the director's office at WVU,
I am sure your project will be a success."
 
Freshman in 1929,
