Clifton Springs, N. Y. June 29, 1945 Dear Jeannette, Since it was out of the question for you to come all the way from Hollywood to the Alumni Banquet, I will try to give you the dirt1' on all our old classmates of ‘35. I decided to save time and fly from A“ew York on 1'hurs-day, thus giving myself an extra day in Clifton. Imagine my surprise when someone said, For John’s sake, look who’s here, and of course I looked, and there stood Gordon Taylor and Jack O’Neil. You know they arc both connected with Columbia University, Gordon as Professor of Mathematics, and Jack as Professor of Chemistry. Gordon had seen Lucile Walters the day before at the Waldorf Astoria, where she is acting as hostess, and learned th: t she would not be able to get home at this time. Our plane landed at the Clifton Airport, which is managed by Pooch Albert Miner. He suggests a that we all have lunch together at The Tea Room operated by Mildred Williams and Pearl Hall, which, by the way, proved to be a suprisingly snappy place. This is a busy time of the year for a farmer’s wife, but Mrs. Robert Salisbury, our old pal Lee Knapp, came to Clifton early so that we could go to the banquet together. I sat between ‘'Chuck Moran, golf pro at the Rochester Country Club, and Paul Van DeMortel, who wore his navy uniform. The big treat of the evening was music by Pup Paul Quigley and his orchestra. Did you know that Skeesix Siegwald is Pup’s hottest clarinet player? Another rare treat was a pantonine put on by the famous actor, Dick Dickons, and Charles White, now mayor of Coonsville. Bet;y S uior was there with her husband, Ralph Salisbury. Alice Schroo also brought her husband, Elmer Compson, from Newark. Rosalie VanKerkhovo Walters looks as slender and trim as she did ten years ago.
