1 969 CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1984, fifteen years have passed since the 1969 graduating class of AlWood has left the cherished halls of its old Alma Mater. Invitations have been extended to all the members of this class to return to Woodhull for their fifteenth year class reunion. We have received several responses, from class members, telling what they have been up to these last fifteen years. DEBBIE ALLISON sends word that she now owns her own loan company, Loan with a Smile. It is reported that John Briggs borrows more from her than anyone else. GREG ANDERSON has been doing remarkably well in the dairy business. His leading product is Butterfat; he outsells all of his competitors. JAMES BLOOMBERG, the famous archaeologist, sends word that he is now in Norway digging up something from the past. Jim adds that he certainly isn't in ruins! PAULA BREDBURG and SHARON YOUNGREN have taken up positions as Head Sleepy Man and the Good Tooth Fairy. Poor little Sharon, however, acquired an injury when she tried to remove a tooth from Steve Nesbitt, who snapped her head off, as usual. DAVID BREWER, after 15 years hard labor has become a success working at the Draught House where he has set up his own (Drink at your own risk) Brewery. KENT BUBON has entered television. He has replaced the unforgettable actor Superman, alias Clark Kent. Unfortunately, he met with an accident last week when he tried to fly from a ten story building without his cape. PEGGY CAMPBELL is still employed at her father's supermarket. She now heads the meat department. BARB COWSER has finally succeeded in achieving her life's goal. She has found a shorter route from Woodhull to the Diner. She has dug an underground tunnel that runs from the backdoor of the Cowser home to the backdoor of the Diner. The one advantage of this tunnel is that it is cool in the summer and heated in the winter. RANDY COWSER has finally accomplished, by accident, what he has been trying since childhood to do. He spent a million dollars in two hours on medical bills trying to recover from the drink he bought at David's Brewery. JOE EIKER is now the head bouncer at the Diner. When asked about the pay, Joe replied, It's not bad if you like coke! MARIAN GILLETTE has become Mr. Miller's current event advisor-she keeps him up-to-date. He's her current thing. This may go down in history. ANNA GREEN sends word that she and her husband are in the process of moving to their newly purchased home, formally known as Jake's Place, in Ophiem. DON HENRIKSON, now the star fullback of the Green Bay Packers is earning $500,000 a year. You always expect more from people with naturally curly hair. VERNA HURSTROM has bought the skating rink and turned it into a go-go place. It's losing money because nobody go-go's there. DAN JOHNSON: When Carlos was asked what he's been doing these last few years he said, See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. ROB JOHNSON who is still doing graduate work at Harvard, reports that he will complete his schooling in June. Then, asked what he intends to do after graduation, Rob said that he hopes Basil Jordan will be willing to take him on as an apprentice. MIRIAM KLUNDT, who had such a beautiful singing voice in high school, is now with the Augustana Choir. She's the sweetest note they've got. CHERYL KNUTSON who has always been fond of animals says she still is; her husband's a real bear. Nice but Grizzly. RICHARD LANGSTON told us that he might not be able to come to the reunion because the stork just visited his home last night. When asked whether it was a girl or a boy, Rich told us that they didn't know yet. He said they tied it to the frontporch and if it lays an egg it’s a girl. MICHAEL LARSON and JERRY PRUETT have both made a career of the military service: they are both still Privates. When asked what they do during their Rest and Recreation they told us that that's their private business. PAM LARSON and BOB EIKER still double date with Barb Cowser and Steve Stromquist. In fact Pam and Steve announced their engagement last week. ANNAMARY McCLENNING danced her way to fame on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. 30
