PROPHECY JULY 31, 1974 A large crowd has gathered here at Bradley’s Acres southwest of Bement for the launching of the first rocket ship to the moon. Robert Bradley graciously consented to let scientists Corky Carlin and Dave Spearman launch their rocket ship on his farm. The general contractors who supervised building this rocket ship, The Marilyn, were Paul Larimore and Harry Porter. Financier for The Marilyn was Ken Phipps, wealthy Milmine stock broker, who is here today with his secretary, Sue Hannon. Sue is one of the highest paid secretaries in the country because of her amazing ability to take dictation at two hundred fifty words per minute. We see many familiar and famous names on the passenger list of those making the excursion to the moon and back. Among them are Don Stout, Democratic Senator from Illinois, hoping to win more aspirants for the Democratic Party should there turn out to be life on the moon; Madam Sharon (Clow), world renowned hat designer, searching for new designs for her hats; Peggy Randall, a top notch lawyer from the Randall-Robeck Law Firm, taking the trip to settle her nerves while Mary Robeck, her partner, handles their business until Peggy returns; and Ray Tate, agriculture professor at the University of Illinois, going to test soil on the moon. Barb Bolsen, Sandra Metzger, and Clyde Perry have been hired to provide entertainment throughout the rocket’s flight. Barb and Sandy sing together over WTVP, Decatur, and are known as the Silhouettes. Clyde can be heard strumming his guitar each day over WSM, Nashville, Tennessee. Metropolitan Opera star, Rachel Day, and her agent, Chalmer Hinton, will also be aboard. Chalmer thinks the high altitude may help Rachel’s laryngitis. Dietitian in the rocket’s cafeteria is Marjorie Bolsen, who has been spending much time checking supplies with her chief cook, Joe Lieb. Assisting Joe in preparing the meals will be Violet VanLandingham and Joan Thomas, famous for their delicious “home cookin’.” Among those here to see The Marilyn launched are Don Hooker, a multimillionaire after finding oil on his farm; Bob Gallivan, the operator of a dude ranch near Ivesdale; John Sebens, better known as “Curly the Wrestler”, idol of the TV wrestling fans each Saturday night; and Joe Olinger, New York Times editor, with Jo Ann Fendley, his secretary, to cover this historic event for the metropolitan newspaper.
