Dartha Dreyer who used to be old pals still clinging together. They are both chief nurses there at the the Well-Bones hospital. Also there nursing was Corlyss Peterson, but she doesn't get far be- cause she is too busy with her new husband, Roy Grell who is an electrical engineer. I then went to the basement of the hospital and found Bill Hi- ett feeding the furnace. Being a hobo was hard on his con- science. I talked with him for quite a while because, as usual, he likes to chew the fat. He said that Earnest Evans was a captain on a navy ship and that Bob Reid was cleaning gutters in the Bronx. He said George Lantzberger had joined the navy and was still popular with the girls. I walked into the pool hall named Come and Get It , run by my old classmate, Leslie Hammer. I found Russel Baker and Bob Sizelove playing cards. Russel had had his leg shot off in the war of 1942 and couldn't work. If Russel didn't work, then Bob would- n't. Leslie tells me that Vonnie is a school teacher up in the moun- tains and is still a man-hater. I then went over to the warehouse and saw Tommy Carlson waiting to have his rice tested. He said that his wife, Gertrude Killingsworth who really wanted to be a nurse was now nursing their two children. I walked to the office of the warehouse and saw a woman whom I recognized by her red hair, bending over the books and files. It was Calley Fawns. She said she went to Business College for two years. I went toward Richvale and found a new shop. It was The Smart Iitterbug Shoppe run by Rose Olmstead, and her old pal Edlo White was designing all the clothes. I went on a little further where I found an experiment station. To my surprise I found Kenjiro Kadowaki owned it. He said that the dredger had dug up his garden in Rio Bonito and he was now trying to discover a scientific way to grow vegentables. He told me he had married Annabelle Nakashima after a courtship of two weeks and she was now in the city studying art. I went back to Biggs and I was about to get on the train, I saw Marvin Lundberg there. He said he had quit his job as janitor at the school and was going to hop a freight with me. We stopped in Gridley and found an office named Super- Sleuth , a woman's detective agency. Anna Rya was the G Woman behind the bars - I mean desk. She told me that Evelyn Anderson had married a forest ranger and was drawing mount- ain scenes. I boarded the train again and had an accident somewhere in Los Angeles. I woke up in the hospital with a blonde nurse stand- ing over me that I didn't know. The next day I was in better shape and recognized my nurse as Gladys Switzer. We talked of our classmates of 39 and laughed over the times we skipped classes and put tacks in our dear teachers' chairs. Someday we hope our class will have a reunion.
