C 67,55 MOP QC? Time has been moving rapidly and it's now the year 1964. A tour, patterned after that wonderful old movie of 1954 entitled Cinerama , is being offered this summer. We're on our way with hopes of meeting someone we know. With every- thing packed, we'll meet in the lobby of the Palmer Hotel, established by Dwight Palmer. That desk clerk looks familiar, of course, it's Dick Huml. But, before we go, those four elevator operators look familiar. Why, there're none other than Jack Larson, Gilbert Vizensky, George Balek, and Joe Kelly! Well, of all people! It's Tom McGreal, the angora king, and Dick Hedberg, the oil-well tycoon! I wonder if Larry Lass is still teaching bookkeeping at Vassar. We ought to be on our way. The doorman, Eugene La Plante, has already hailed a bus for us. Nancy Quinn! ! I wonder how long she has been driving busses. The bus is taking us to the Schroeder Airport. That Sally surely has a great business, all her sons are pilots! Thanks to that new atomic gasoline, invented by George Halverson, we reach the airport quickly. There's a K 8: K hot dog stand run by John Krammer and Bill Kohl. For those who prefer pizza, there's also Sharon Behren's beanery. We'll get our tickets from Shirley Nelson at the terminal and check with the stewardess, Jean Tegelman, to see if our plane and pilots, Mark Verke and Roger Gilday, are ready. After receiving parachutes from Jenny Patelski, We'll get our takeoff schedule from Donna Martin in the control tower. Finally on our way, we are provided with entertainment by Jerry Healy, newest singing rage of Greenland, and Bruce Mix, popular cartoonist. Not wanting to be out done, up pop Virginia Harness and Marge McCann, stars of the ever-popular Bloomer Girls. Entertainment over, we settle back and watch the great patches of land glide under us. That huge odd-colored one is owned by Larry Hostetler, peanut manu- facturer. We also pass over Mike Hruby's rhinestone mine, but we are more interested in the sight ahead, Niagara Falls. If I remember correctly, Harold Wilson, Fritz Baumann, Victor Lubkeman, Bob Jarnigo, and Joe Pechulis are going on an expedition over these famous falls to find out what is at the bottom. As we fly over the Atlantic Ocean, we admire the new bridge which connects Europe and the United States. This marvelous bridge was designed by Edwyna Chernik and built by John Wells' Water Spanning Company. Our first stop is colorful Spain. After everyone has disembarked, we discover that the airport attendant, Henry Kapell, forgot to push the portable steps up to the plane--- Finally released from the hospital, we decide to take in a bull fight. After seeing Jim Quedenfeld and George Hucker warm up the bulls, we watch a thrilling expedition of skill by Lois Loecher, star matadoress. Before leaving for Venice, our next destination, We are given a farewell party by Joanne Haak, wife of a castanet exporter. In Venice, we take a tour by gondola. Three guesses who the gondoliers are!

Bob Duha, Nick Ryan, and Rod Johnson! We glide past several canal swimmers whom we don't know Qthat's a switch! ll. Boarding our plane again, we head back to the States. This time we go by' way of the Florida Keys, which were recently purchased by Bill Terry. After a perfect nose-dive landing in Florida's Cypress Gardens we stroll over to catch Bill Gebhardt's Water Show. We arrive just in time to see the water skiing ballet. That gal who just went under is Gail Pedersen! The three fellows standing on each other's shoulders look like Mike Hehn, Fred Miller, and Bob Langosch. Yes! That's who they are! Now for the most exciting event ---- the feminine outboard race! They're all together at the start, but Janet Caddy and Elsie Catardi break away from the pack! Rose Marie Larsen turns a corner too short and loses her motor, but she's determined to finish. Mary Herman runs her boat on land, but the motor's still going. So is Mary! Hey! How did Jon Cugier get in this race? It's really thrilling, but we won't be able to see the finish ---- we still have to make New York' and Washington, D. C. In New York we visit the Club Hollocker, owned by Stewart, of course, and stay for the floor show in which Phil Vos is the featured band leader. Max Morris is the star soloist. After the show we stop by to say hello to Eddy Frazier, editor of the New York Times, and the nationally known columnist, Shirlee Ross. Strolling down fabulous Fifth Avenue, we see the new five-story barber show we've heard so much about. I think that's Joe Gutowski, head barber, waving at us from the fourth floor. Hey, look! It's Bev Van Patten painting the flag pole on the Empire State Building It surely is a small world, isn't it? We have one more stop before we return home, I want to see good old Washington, D. C. Arriving at the D. C. Terminal, we are greeted by Carolyn Heeter, who will be the escort during our stay. At the beautiful polo grounds established by Joanne Pad- dock and Barbara Waldweiler we have lunch in the elaborate clubhouse decorated by Arlene Gorski, famous interior decorator. I just received a telegram by way of messenger girl, Ann Schwicht, inviting us all to a grand ball in the White House. Our hostess will be Wendy Midgley, First Lady of the Land, with Sharon Weber as the featured soloist. Anyway, her chauffeur, Jim Gonding will be here in a few hours. This will allow us just enough time to have a memorable group picture taken by the well-known D. C. photographer, Marge Schlegel. I thought the doorman at the ball looked a lot like Phil Burgdorf. I also noticed our state representative, Eugene Balmes, was present. Good boy! Back at the airport we stop to watch Fred Bartlett refuel the plane while Marge Matteoni checks the engines. After everyone has boarded the plane, we find a few new passengers making the return trip with us. Dave Runyard, wealthy mink trapper, Roberta Jach, prominent voice teacher, and Evelyn Philips, leading necktie designer, are among them. After a long and tiresome trip home, we find it is time to say good-bye. Have to get back to work, you know, because of that little detail called a boss. Z4
