Richard Overstrom is a state trooper in Massachusetts, and he came to the dinner in his dark blue uniform with “genuine gold” buttons. Our Class of ’47 turned out four very fine auto mechanics. Alfred Tee, John Badal, Bill Drachenberg, and Bill Payanis all went into business together. They own a huge auto repair shop here in Washington, D. C, and they have named it “The Four Busy Bees.” George Seddon is a dentist. If anyone wants a tooth pulled, his office is to be found in Brooklyn. Bill Norton is a promising young lawyer. It looks as though he will go far. When Howard Cable retires from his position as Attorney-General, I am sure Bill will be there to take his place. We had an elementary teacher in our midst. Jean Carlson, so patient with child- ren, makes a wonderful instructor. The only trouble is the little girls are complain- ing because the little boys are all in love with their teacher. Marceline Allario, or rather Mrs. Guarino, now wears a golden wedding band on her finger with that big beautiful diamond. She can cook now and Tud no longer gets indigestion. Betty Abel, a Powers model, attended the dinner wearing an adorable creation styled by Pat French, who designs clothes for actresses and models. Jack Puppel was also present. He owns a swank yacht club, you know, and Steve Baccaro and Donald Corr manage it for him. When I asked Betty Belmont how her stenography was coming on, she re- plied, “What do you mean? I’m a swimmer, not a stenographer. Why, do you know, 1 won the Florida State Championship for swimming in 1955? Wait until I see Esther Williams.” Norman Ericson is a jockey. He rode “My Lady Slipper to a quick win in last year’s Kentucky Derby. Robert Meigs showed us something unusual when he brought a few colored chicken eggs with him to the dinner. He is experimenting with these eggs and apparently there is some way in which he can obtain red, green, and purple eggs simply by adding dye to a hen’s food. Lucille Luddy is a graduate nurse and she is working in a grand new hospital in Nebraska. Two other nurses, Betty Lou Fleischer and Marie Venturo, were present at the dinner. Betty Lou is interested in bone surgery, while Marie is studying blood chemistry. Rita King sat next to me at the table. She owns a fox farm, and those beautiful silver foxes of hers are breath-taking. She brought pictures of them with her. After dinner Larry Kellum kept us enthralled for hours telling us his narrow escapes from elephants and lions which he hunts in Africa. He has already had one of his books, titled “Hunting,” published. Bill Dornfried told us something of his profession. He is a deep-sea diver, and he has brought to the surface of the ocean everything from sponges to pearls. Ronnie Griggs is heard on the radio every day. He is one news commentator that will look at both sides of a question fairly. After chatting a while we all settled down to listen to Lois Hill play the piano, accompained by Arlene Tack and her magic violin. Lois plays the piano for the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, and she has played in Carnegie Hall. Arlene has her own radio program, and everyone listens to her “Sunday Evening Hour of Music” each Sunday night. Well, we had a remarkable class, didn’t we? We didn’t all turn out as we had hoped, but I think we are all pretty well satisfied. We hope Miss McBrien, our Senior Class adviser, is proud of us. We’re proud of the way she brought us up.” I hope you are all well and I shall see you in Hollywood next year. Your friend, Bev Durity 25
