+ BLACK AND GOLD + PROPHECY 1945 was a big year for me. I had been appointed news reel photographer for Fox studios. After my appointment, I picked up my camera and mer- rily tripped along to the great plane awaiting me. I had always trembled at the thought of getting both feet off the ground at the same time but with Melvin McFillen as my pilot, I faced the future unafraid. Pilot McFillen had behind him ten years of brilliant and faithful service in the United States Air Corps. I had no special duties for my first assignment. I was merely to photograph interesting sketches to be called The Human Side of the News. We were fly- ing along at a good rate when I noticed a man on a parachute go drifting by the plane. I wanted to know if I might be of any service so I pulled up along- side the parachute and said, Hello, in a sociable way. To my astonishment, the person was no less than Leonard Roberts. He had been doing fancy jumps for an air circus for years. We stopped at Omaha and I noticed a few small signs which read, Pat- ronize Sweet's Stock Yards. I determined to see if this fellow Sweet, could be my school mate, Flo. I found that it really was Flo. He stood before me in a bloody apron and was talking to Michael Seminew and Forest Kille, who were stock breeders. Having a two-hour stop at Omaha, I went to the circus. The elephants led the procession and on the head of the first animal sat Stanley Gilson, dressed as an Arabian prince. Next c.ame the white horses. It took my brea-th to see Iva Lou Gaskell, dressed in spangles and- ruffles, riding -horseback on a mag- nificent horse. Now came the aerialists and I waited eagerly to see that death- defying triple spin enacted by the famous aerial team, Eckel and Simmons. On leaving the main tent I went into a side show to have a certain Madame Ronanofsky tell my fortune. I suspected the madame of being a fake and found that she was none other than Madelyn Black. I asked her if she could tell me anything about our classmates and she said she had read that Dorothy Cousino had made millions of dollars on a new type of potato peeler, that she had in- vented. Also, she said that Florene Charles excelled in the raising and training of Dachshund dogs. So on to Washington where we stopped to take a few reels of political ac- tivities. A most distinguished looking butler answered my knock at the White House door. I nearly passed him by before I noticed he was Vernon Albright. He was rather hard to recognize under his camouflage of sideburns and whis- kers. I was shown to the president by Harry Albright, his secretary. The presi- dent was in conference with Althea Kruse who was a representative striving to uphold the rights of the Gashouse District from New Work. The president welcomed me and invited me to stop for tea. He promised some delicious sandwiches and little cakes. His pastry experts were Catherine Bazavik and Anna Piscor. Ruth Long and Rebecca Jeffery did nothing but con- coct new recipes containing lobster which was the president's favorite food. While flying about the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, I saw Robert Leslie sitting in one of Our Lady's hands and diligently scrubbing her wrist. Every year, Bob starts at the top of her head and gives her a bath to the bottom of her feet. 1934 28
