Dear Thelma N., Ten years ago you asked me To wriTe you a IeTTer giving you The low-down on all The old gang. Well, I am a liTTle laTe, buT Wallace and RuTh Jr. cerTainIy keep me busy. Well, whom do you Think I ran inTo yesferday? None oTI1er Than Bill Blevins! You remember him, The guy who used To do so well in bookkeeping. Well, he and Donna Harris are married, and are doing splendidly on Their caTTle ranch in Elfrida. While I was Talking To Bill, who should walk up buT Ed CaThcarT, who is coaching aT Valley Union High School. ll hear he screams and yells aT referees iusT as former coaches have done.l Ed is unmarried, buT, from whaT I gaTher, is a mosT eligible bache- lor. Oh, say, you remember Virginia Troglia? Well, she was quiTe The denTal nurse- for awhile. She was known Tar ancl wide for her abiIi+y To sao+he pain. II hear she eiTher gave The vicTim whiskey or a IeTT-hook.l BuT only Two weeks ago I aTTended her wed- ding To IvlarTin Morfenson. AfTer eighT years of going TogeTher off and on, They finally decided To Tie The knoT-Thank Heaven! AT The recepTion, whom should I see buT EsTer McGinTy, who has become quiTe a career girl. From whaT I gaThered, she's a very compeTenT secrefary. HssT! . . . ll also hear she's aTTer her boss.l You probably already know ThaT Pauline and Ed goT married Too. Poor Ed! She really leads him around by The nose. And remember how she used To Talk up ThaT fiffy- TifTy business? BuT I do have somemore news for you. I was IisTening To- my favoriTe radio sTa- Tion when I heard Ed's voice. Here are his exacT words: Why pay anywhere from Ten To Twelve dollars Tor rings, when you can have a beauTifuI seT, absoIuTeIy Tree! JusT pay The posTman 52.98, plus posfage. There's a Iimi+ed supply: so send your posT card righT away To CIinT-ThaT's CIinT-C-L-I-N-T, Texas. Well, I guess he has To IeT off sfeam somehow: all he says aT home is Yes, dear. And ThaT in a very meek squeak. Anyway, I hope Bruce N. hears Ed's adverTisemenT. Bruce is on his way To Texas, you know, where he will marry Donnalee N., his old-Time girl friend. Those rings would come in mighTy handy! Seems as Though Bruce could never quiTe geT her ouT of his sysTem. I know you remember Glena G. Well, she sTarred in a movie I saw recenTly. ITs' TiTle was, Tom Mix'n Cement She surely makes a good cow-girl. She sang one song ThaT really knocked me over. In TacT, I had To be carried from The Theafer. While leaving, whom should I see buT James M. and whaT do you Think? James has become a morTician. Can you imagine! And I hear his Tlowers and wreaThs are simply a musT. I asked him abouT Jim A., and he Told me ThaT Jim is now owner of The PIan+a+ion Bar. IT seems ThaT Jim has quiTe a bay-window, buT is advancing in The business world wiTh Tremendous speed. As for WaI+er M., I hear he purchased a huge planTaTion in Oklahoma and is making hand over TooT. Folks don'T see much of him IaTeIy: since he has gone bare- TooT for so long ThaT he can'T wear shoes. Well, Thelma, ThaT abouT finishes The doings of our gang, and I simply musT geT back To Those kids before They Tear The house aparT. Good-by, RuTh Thompson 1 ' I I ' ' Iifligiliiimii ,, ,,. ,,,, MEM W... mwaifmx
