Lee Suttell
Baton Spinning
Mr. Suttel on the advisory staff of the Slingerland Drum Corps Division handles all problems concerning baton twirling. He qualifies as an authority on this subject in that his recent outstanding achievements include twice winning the National American Legion Baton Spinning Contests for the years 1929-39, 1930-31.

Received letters from him. 

Yours Sincerely
Lee Suttell
