from his wife. Saturday morning after I had been home for a half an hour who should come walking in but Ann and her fatnily. She has twin girls about eleven years old. They live on a ranch in Wyoming and are quite well to do. When I heard from Duane he was taking a barber course. He said he was going to come to Chicago to be a barber. His wife is a. beauty operator. I also heard from Shirley Koeppa last week. She is still in Sioux City working in the St. joseph Hospital as a nurse in the operating room. Last Friday Linda and I flew to St. Louis with Bill. I heard La Vern was living there so we stayed with them a few days. Saturday while shopping I rnet George Schultz and I'll bet you can't guess what he turned out to be? A detective! He didn't have much time to talk be- cause he was working on an important case. Shirley Harder is a beauty operator in Chicago. I see her quite often. I guess she is going to give up hair-fixing and demostrate some kind of new hair- dryers. This will give her a chance to travel all over the United States. She isn't married and I don't think she is going to for a while. Ihope to hear from you soon. Tell me some news about Martinsburg. Yours truly, Marianne Rakow TR IP TO LINCOLN At 5:30 on a cloudy morning we sixteen sleepy but happy children left Martinsburg. We ate breakfast, that is coffee and doughnuts in Oakland. Long before we reached the capital building we could see the dome shin- ing brightly. Everyone was anxious to see the capital building first so at about eleven o'clock we were walking up the steps leading to it. It was the most beautiful building any of us had ever been in. We got to see the Rotunda room, governors private office, court room, ect. I believe we were one of the luckiest school groups ever to visit it. For we got to shake hands with Governor Griswold. At Antelope Park we ate our picnic lunch. Beaking a few dishes but having a grand tirne. Next we went to the Lincoln Zoo, seeing all kinds of animals. One cheerful ambitious, little monkey swung down and took Shirley Harder 's handkerchief.
