BiyiB d. h. s. periscope 9HHH c L A S S F R 0 p H 3 C Y Chicago, Illinois June 13, 1954 Mr. Franklin Kliever Superintendent of City Schools Dallas, Oregon Dear Frank: Although it has been some time since I have conversed with you, your frequent letters to me arc a constant source of delight, not only to myself,but also to those others of the class of ’29 whom I often see, for I have taken the. liberty of passing them along to some of our mutual friends. In regard to your most recent letter about tracing the other members of the old class, I ill say that those of our classmates who are here in Chicago have assisted mo, and we were so successful that I am now able to give you complete information about the entire class. Virgil Grant and Delbert Hunter are still in vaudeville, singing Mammy” songs, and although they do not seem to be as popular as they were last season, they are still making good money. Last year when I was in Paris with my wife wo wont shopping in the Rue do lc. Paix for some nor clothes for her. We stopped in to one of the fashionable modiste shops in the city and wore greeted in excellent French by the proprietor, but I was rather amazed when he called me by my first none as though I were an old acquaintance♦ A happy reunion followed and I found that Robert Haytor, for it was indeed he, had built up a -wonderful business around his superior kno ?ledge of women’s stylos. I see Beatrice Embroc quite frequently,as she is '.'endall De Haven’s private secretary. ’Yendall, as you probably know, is Police Commissioner of Cook County, and it is largely through his efforts that the gang rule of Chicago is almost completely broken. 1 9 jjjiiii
