Clas s Pr ophe cy In the year of 2003 I found that my year of good fortun had at last arnved That fall I sold the sheep that I had been herd1ng for forty f1ve years I got a very good prnre for them so I decxded to take a tr1p South for the av1nter My rheumat1sm had been bothermg me anyway Wh1le I was waxtmg 1n a l1ttle town 1n the hxlls of Alabama I saw an old man and h1s wlfe commg to town wxth a strmg of about a dozen chlldren followxng them The fam1ly looked t1red and they were all barefooted The old man seemed to be famlllar When the fam1ly passed by I happened to recall who he was Sure enough lt was Bob Jarruson After I left Alabama I went on to Flomda and went through the capltol bu1ld1ng I also went to see the Governor's home The Governor 1nv1ted me 1n and wh1le we were v1s1t1ng a charmlng woman walked 1n the room She was all decked out ln furs and the Governor 1ntroduced her to me as h1s w1.fe It suddenly dawned on me that the woman was Carol Ferguson another of my old class mates Then I headed West toward CalLforn1a As I was gomg through I saw a lot of good cattle country and of course that attracted my attent1on I stopped a feav days to look lt over I went out to a dude ranch to borrow a horse to rlde out mto the country on Wh1le I was at the dude ranch I met an old lady who was all dressed up ln western clothes and also boxmg gloves She started out w1th that old western talk as most dude ranchers do I asked her what she had those box1ng gloves on for and she rephed that she had been out punchlng was'7 Another class mate Prudy Pa1ge That was enough for me so I started r1ght on towards CalLforn1a Whenl arrxved 1n Hollywood I was much surpr1sed at the pretty homes there As I was dr1v1ng by on beautl ful home I not1ced an old cowboy about seventy years old He rem1nded me of Hopalong Cassldy of the olden days but thenl remembered that he had dxed a few gears back thought the cowboy was Just one that I had seenun the n1ov1es But later I recalled thatl hadn't seen any mov1es so I drove back that way to look h1m over aga1n Sure enough lt was Glenn Kerr1gan an old student from Ashby H1gh We had qu1te a v1s1t and he showed me all around Cal1forn1a Whenl left Cahfornxa I headed for Nebraska I was runmng low on money so I thou htl had better head for home Whlle I st1ll had some left As I was drwmg through Utah I chscovered that I was on the wrong road because I h dn seen anythmg but sagebrush and sand for many m1les A few m1les on I came to a school house and stopped to f1nd out what road I was on The teacher of the school was a hardworked women of about seventy years She was do1ng her best to make the k1ds behave She told me that I was on the rxght road and that she had once l1ved 1n Nebraska Then I recogxzed her It was Mabel Ferguson Drwmg toward home I thought how good 1t had been to see them once a a1n after so many. years by Arthur Dubs 13 , . , . . . . . .
