been promoted to private secretaries for a firm of very successful young businessmen. I received a letter from Charlotte Swanson McManaway. Now that she and Marc are millionaires, due to his great success as a dentist, they're moving to Venezuela. She always wanted to go back. I hope they will be happy. She mentioned that she had seen John Osman and Richard Cutright. John owns John's Chevyland and is Richard's chief competitor. Richard owns Fairlaine Haven. A few of our friends own their own companies here in Chicago. Francis Maxwell owns The Maxwell- house Coffee Company. Mike Mankin has his own art school. Sumie Kurachi is the karate instructor at Bill Rincker's Health Resort. Pam Jaycox Loy manages Loy's Hybrid Corn Farm. Carolyn Painter owns the DuPont Paint Company. Linda Van Meter owns a clothing store, specializing in styles for junior pe- tites. Dwight Higgs and Glenn Higgs own Higgs 85 Higgs Used Cars. Did you, by any chance, see where Debby Richeson McDaniel won the Olympic ice-skating champion- ship? She was always a tremendous skater. I phoned to congratulate her, and she told me that Mike Lilley and Lonnie Waymoth are investigators for the F, B. I. They are in the arson division. Wasn't it great, Bill Starr winning the Nobel Peace Prize? And, I'm so anxious for Gary Brummer's new book to be published, He spent ten years of research on pre-marital sex before he wrote one word, John Monnet, James Scott, and Frank Chisler have formed a new cycle club, They call themselves The Heavens's Devils. The Chicago Motor Club is now owned by Gary Koester, Mark Fuesting, Larry Patton and Paul Deters. Our new baseball team--The Purple Sox - may have a chance at the pennant this year with Roger Pagel as manager and those outstanding rookies Jim Phillips, Greg Habbe, Ken Koen- ig, and Delbert Red Morgan. Randy Hakman draws the ads for Heath Ice Cream Bars. Shirley Ziegler Hoene is the first woman ma- rine. Linda Boone Pagel is a WAC. Doris Bowman manufactures bows and arrows, and Judy Buening makes bean bags. Cheryl Henderson sells insurance. Pat, of Pat McWhorter's Salvage Yard, has hired Ronnie Walls, Mike Budde, and John Jackson as chief mechanics. I hear that Kelly Newburn is a chef at Diamonds here in Chicago. When I had dinner there last week, I saw Judy Ricketts, who has traveled over the U. S. as an Evangelist, and Steve Upton. Because of his unique ability to converse, he was a special guest on Johnny Carson's Show. John Hartleroad plays championship hockey with the Red Barons. I wonder if he could beat Mr. Neet? That reminds me, did you know that Richard Poynter is teaching school? He has eight study halls a day. Patsy Ricketts owns a cricket farm. Pam Leith and Donna Nippe work at the Ramada Inn. Don Stuckey is a Methodist minister He and Terry Varner are trying to convert Charles Shelley and Bruce Long. Charles has developed a new formula for shelli beans and Bruce owns a chain of Gulf Filling Stations. Judi Beyer Macklin now lives in Indiana with Ronnie. Judy Loy, Elaine Hirtzel, Sheila Kralman, and Joyce Lilley are airline steward- esses in Chicago for T. W. A. Some of our classmates have been a surprise to me. Many have reached their intended goal. Ihope they are all happy. Maybe during our reunion in five years we will see more changes in the ever suc- cessful Class of '66, Always, Janet

fabulous bookstore, the Hetzel-Payne Corner, Audrine Bennet and Lynn Moody hold regular seances with James Parks, Ron Williams, Dave Wilson, John Tolch, and Ron West. They are trying to persuade Tom Tipsword, owner of Tippy's Tavern, to join them. I heard that Mason, Illinois, is a blooming little town. Joe Bushue is the mayor with Vicki Bushue as his secretary. Linda Hays and Patrick Michael own a ioint partnership in their men and women's clothing store with Sharon Mason as the bookkeeper. Judy Pasquele manages the Mason Drive-ln. Rick Welch, owner of Welch's Wine Company, is having a difficult time keeping his product in stock. Dave Landers operates a rifle shop. Steve Kaiser's and Paul Huntington's Edgewood Drag-O Way burned down the other day. This will be disheartening news to Linda Percival Poland who will not be able to drag her 86 Vette. I almost forgot to tell you about the main attraction of Effingham 's night life. The multi-millionaires Tom Britton and Dirk Anderson have converted the court house into a swingin' nightclub, Much of its success goes to J. C. Marshall's and Bill Whitehouse's band, The Bald Five, and to Bill Krueger, who manages the gambling floor. Credit is also due to Tony Matlock, the bouncer. Have you encountered any more of our classmates lately? Write soon and tell me what's going on in the windy city, Always, Jane Janet Wilhelms Lakeshore Drive Chicago, Illinois June 1, 1986 Dear Jane , On receiving your letter, I realized how little I have heard from some of my friends back home. Times have certainly changed. I was pleased to hear the accurate account of our classmates you have seen and heard from, I am equally sure that you will enjoy hearing of the ones I have had contact with. The doorbell rang the other dayg When I went to the door, Arvil Bass was standing there. He is a Boy Scout executive selling cookies. While conversing with him, Larry Ford drove by. Did you know that he is competing with A. J. Foyt at the Indianapolis '500? Several of our classmates are now famous. Remember Mike Askew? He lost 120 pounds and since he was unable to play football, he took up tiddeley winks and is now Worldfs Champion. Randy Brunet is a 6'10 all pro center of the Boston Celtics. Janice Beebe and Willis Inman are vocalists in the St. Louis Muni Opera, The TV series, The Young Marrieds is becoming more popular here since Mary Jo and Kelly Tucker have replaced Annerose and Steve Geibel. Don Steely's new book How to Become Mature in Ten Easy Lessons has hit the newstands. Linda Brummer has made a new record LITTLE BRUMMER GIRL. Lenny and Larry Lane are the new stars of the Doublemint commercial. Also, Dannie Connally and Ken James star in the 'Brillcreme commercial--Ken's the one who comes out of the tube. Have you seen the movie, The Group? It is tremendous, I was really amazed to see the lead parts played so well by Candace Moeller, Jean Conour, Roberta Evans, Lydia Sigafus, Cheryl Barton, and Terry Slifer. They all displayed outstanding talent. That reminds meg Jack Conour received his PhD. from Vassar in that new course, twinology. The latest gossip in and around Chicago is the resignation of Pat Fitzsimmons as head coach at Minne- sota, Rumor has him going to Newton, Illinois, And, believe it or not, Bob Griffin was refused residen- cy here due to his attitude. He thinks using an anesthetic is busy work. Garret and Susan Wagner opened a school for gifted children--theirs! I talked to Susan only the other day. She visited in Cham- paign and had seen Patsy Soltwedel, Donna Yeakel, Karen Bingman, and Ann Brown. They had all just
