Born September 12, 1919 Baltimore, Maryland Class Prophecy May 11, 1955 Hotel Paloma Lima, Peru DEAR JOHNNY: I guess it's about time that I write to you. The last time I wrote was seven months ago, and a lot has happened since then. I have been wav back in the mountains, 300 miles northwest of here, making a relocation for the Trans-Peruvian Railroad. As usual in making a relocation, we had to walk the whole way, taking notes, etc. It took us six months to cover the whole route, and I tell you I'm ready for a rest. I'm staying here in Lima for three weeks, just taking it easy and making out my report, and then I'm heading for home. Oh, yes, I have some news to tell you. Guess who was sitting in the lobby of the hotel when I walked in? It was Tom Mitchell, and as usual he knew something about every member of our class at Nottingham. Tom is now a banana salesman for the United Fruit Co. We had a long talk, and I found out a lot of things which I shall pass on to you, By the way, you said in your last letter that joe Reese was head coach at Notre Dame and that he had married that redhead of his, but you didn't tell me that you, John Brenner, had been made head coach at Southern California. What's the idea of that? Did you think that I was psychic? Of course you heard about Randall being made Admiral of the Pacific Fleet, didn't you? Everyone expected that, though. And you remember George Cairnes? Well, he and Harry Davis went together and bought a big rubber plantation in Brazil. They are doing very well. Dear old Happy Harner is still on the railroad, and is doing well. Phil Andrews finally got himself a wife and is very happy. He is a big butter and egg magnate in New York. johnny Bustraan is a Civil Engineer, too. He and I were working together about eight months ago in Mexico, but when I came down here he went home. He couldn't stay away from those half-dozen girls of his any longer. Were you the one who told me that Wallenhorst took Abe's place as general handy-man at Nottingham? He really loved that school, and from all appearances he still must. I heard over the radio yesterday that Frank Evans had been made Chief justice of the Supreme Court, and his old roommate, Art Turner, was doing a hne job as AttorneyfGeneral. Good for those two. Dave Snow is still at Nottingham, but in a different capacity this time. He has taken over the gov's classes, and is now teaching Trig and Solid. Tom Mitchell also told me that Don Pletts is a movie star, that Bill Spehnkouch is a fertilizer salesman, and that Elmer Smitley is a Customs Official. Mother sent me a big write-up about Duke Alexander's recent triumph in the Olympics, and as usual the writer was jack Henderson. He's really gone places, hasn't he? There was also a big write-up about Dick Lynch's pitching five no-hit, no-run games in a row against the Yankees, with Frank Gibe catching. Mother also told me in her letter that Bill Price had been made mayor of Chicago, and was doing right well. In the last copy of the Noltingbam Newr that I received, I read that jim Trone was Chief of the Dental Clinic at johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, that Sidney Venable had been named pastor of the West Nottingham Church to succeed his father, and that Vance Mitchell was teaching French at Nottingham. Don Balderston owns a large fruit farm, and Marshall Page is a wellaknown doctor in Baltimore. Another gent who has done quite well for himself is Speed Roberts. While still in college, Speed discovered an extract to pep up your gall bladder and has made several millions from this discovery. He is also National Open Champion in Golf, and does a little tutoring in French on the side. And last, but by no means least, is our football captain, Sammy DeBlasis. You'd never have known it to hear him talk, but Sam was very much interested in high finance, and today is a real figure in Wall Street. I haven't much more time to write but I've given you a slight idea of what I know about our former classmates at Nottingham, and until I hear from you again, I'll leave you. Take care of yourself, and I'll expect tickets to Southern Cal-Notre Dame game next fall. S8 long. EO.
