Glass Prunhecy 1960 Having been working hard for the last ten years, I decided it was time for me to take a trip and visit some of my former classmates. I had hardly turned on the highway when I saw a sign advertising the Troth Here ford Ranch owned bv Raimond Troth. Raimond is a wealthy rancher and in his spare time is a Hell Driver for Joey Chitwood. I continued on in to Mound City and left my car at nBEANIF'S GARAGEH owned by Freddie Dean, world famous mec- hanic. Then I took some clothes down to Don Agard's Cleaning Shop. Having worked up an appetite I went into the 'GREASY SHOONH Barbara Amer's famous re- staurant, and had a turkey dinner. The poor fowl originated on the williams Turkey Farm, owned by James Williams and his wife the former Marv Ann Bruce. The attratiye and efficient waitress was none other than Waneta Priest Martin, who was working for Barbara while Glenn was in the Air Force Wishing to keep my usual well groomed presentable look, I went into Donna Master's Beauty Shop and had my toenails manicured I had hardly stepped out on the street when Joyce Williams drove up in her new Cadillac Joyce is in Hollywood now and her screen name is Tallulah Turnbull She offered to take me to Pleasanton to catch the bus when I boarded the bus I noticed it belonged to the Harlow Bus Company, owned by Frank Harlow Frank became interested in bus driving while in High School.
