The news broadcast went on to say that America1 s famous air-ace Norman Sharp had Just completed another trans- Atlantic flight. Norman did end up in the clouds for his aims were always pointed skyward. More surprises though—and this was a flash—Mauri ? Grieser, the small town boy, who had made millions and was known as the playboy of the East, was eventually caught by one of the glamour girls he had been eluding for five years. From small town heart breaker to playboy of the East, (Maurice had done pretty well). The next day, desiring to spend my money, I wanted to have my portrait painted so I went in search of an artist. Stopping before a studio, I rang the bell and waited. I felt as if I were seeing things when I looked into the sweet, demure face of Myrtle Falsken. She thought I'd be pleased to know that she was new Mrs. William Kotik and that Bill had established a very fine business. (Now I know why Bill always looked at Myrtle with that look of sublime reverence). They told me that Mary Ann Wiesen had taken up nursing and was now a competent nurse in one of Chicago's leading hospitals. Myrt also said Marie Schlickbernd was a Missionary traveling from Maine to Mexico. Myrt and Bill asked me to spend a few days with them while I had my portrait painted. I accented the in- vitation gladly. Early one morning, while Myrtle and I were getting some rolls for breakfast, we stopped in a little bakery. Behind the counter selling rolls w s Francis Williams. He told us that he had Just used the knowlede-e he learned from Al Furtak since he didn't study in school. After a wonderful vacation in New York and promises to return, I was homeward bound. While the train was stop- ping in Fremont, Nebraska, a young lady with a child boarded it. I recognized her immediately as Milada Walter. She told me she was married to the boy she went with way back in 41 and that they divided their time between the 3 r farm and filling station. I asked Milada if she knew whsre Kathryn Mahnke was. She informed me that Kathryn was a private secretary to Major Bowes and was seriouslv marine eyes at the office's messenger boy. „ (| nov; knew what all my classmates would be do.i.ng in 51 . I assure you I was very satisfied with all and i cided the class of 41 was tops.
