X X january 5, 1954 Dear Dr. Slaybaugh: The class of '44 held their first reunion last night at the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City and although my brain is still slightly befuddled by last night's revel- ries, I'll try to relate to you the varying degrees of suc- cess experienced by members of the class. Albert Bud Miller, just as short and a little heavier, is now famous as the D.A. who brought about F.D.R.'s conviction on the grounds of misrepresentation. Bob Boone, alias Baboon, has made quite a mark for himself in the literary world by taking over Beatrice Fairfax's column, Advice to the Lovelornf' Dale Patterson of Perryville has garnered quite a reputation for himself through the motto, There's nothing like a Patterson prepared cadaver. He now serves the area bounded by Baltimore on the south and Philadelphia on the north. Patterson is being ably assisted by H. Wilson Ewing, jr., who, due to a few unfortunate fiascos, is chauffeur- ing the Patterson prepared stiffs. Wilson was forced to abandon a highly lucrative career as successor to Lucky Teter by his militant spouse who feared that his possible demise would remove all means of support for her and her three children. J. Watson Christie is now a hell-fire and brimstone minister in the Ozarks. He told me confidentially that to gain the confidence of his fiock, he had to make his rounds on a donkey and carry a jug of mountain dew to pacify the more violent members of his congregation. Swede Carlson, since he has left the demon rum alone, has established a highly successful trucking and moving business. Swede was one of the first to use the helicopter for commercial purposes. This apparently stemmed from his avid love of his P-47. Pete McLain, always successful as an outdoor man, has Hnally settled down as Conservation Commissioner of New York City. Also, Wild Pete is president of Ducks Unlimited. Pete, the eternal cosmopolite, still maintains his palatial home in Connecticut, as well as a sporting lodge in Saskatchewan. Stacy Satterthwaite of Kenya Uganda Tanganyika fame just fiew in from Africa where he is filming his latest picture, The Lives and Loves of an Ostrich, Stace has become quite a naturalist and authority on big game. Vic Nix, now considered by most to be the peer of African Golfers, is proprietor of the U.S.S. Bird-cage, a vessel anchored off of Los Angeles and definitely out- side the U. S. territorial limits. The enterprise is evi- dently prospering because Vic has just donated S100,000 to the school to build two or three new dormitories, the only reservations being that smoking be allowed in rooms and no time limits be imposed on seniors Sat- urday nights. Bob Preston, always athletically minded, has been appointed head coach of the New York Beaglesf' Little Press after playing five years of stellar pro- football has astounded the sports world by the intro- duction of the Y formation. Press will undoubtedly be the successor to Knute Rockne. Dick Windy Windisch is now making use of his loquacious talents as a labor leader. Windy has just succeeded in enrolling the Carlson Trucking Corporation. Lieut. Comdr, George Bailey, a graduate of Annapolis, has diverted all his excess energy into constructive chan- nels. He is at present one of the most strenuous boosters of the Submarine Air Corps. john Sones and Harry f the Weaselnj Williams with johnny as front man and the Weasel as the brains have endeared themselves to the hearts of the F. B. I. through their shady enterprises. At present the locale of their activities is the Sahara desert where they are selling bath tubs to the Nomads. Bob Finney, the lothario of Bel Air, has finally settled down to an enervating career as Hollywood's most eligible bachelor and foremost actor. Well, I guess this marks the end of another chapter of the history of the class of '44. Hoping to see you soon. HARRY WILLIAMS
