PROPH ECY It is the summer of 1961. We were on our way to Yellowstone National Park on our two- day honeymoon when our plane went bad. We landed in a beautiful modern airfield. As we crossed the field, we saw a familiar figure coming toward us. As it drew nearer, we recognized it to be Stanley Miller, a l95l classmate graduate of mine. He told us that this was his airfield and the now very famous Stephen Hess had designed and decorated it for him iust 5 years ago. As we talked he told me Steve had married Marion Yohn and the two were living very comfortably in Des Moines, Iowa, with their three children. Marion was now a beautiful model in a large department store in Des Moines. Stand told us he would drive us into Des Moines for a visit with some of our classmates while our plane was being repaired. On the way we passed a large and beautiful farm of which we could see only a portion. At the office cornerpost we read KANTNER AND RABER, INC. As I stared, open- mouthed, Stan told us that this 4200-acre farm belonged to Forrest lPeeWeel Kantner and Paul Raber, now wealthy farmers who were supplying half of the U. S. with some of their products. On the way we were listening to the radio when we heard AND NOW THE SPONSORS OF WHATZAT BRING YOU THAT CRAZY HALF HOUR OF FUN AND LAUGHTER-DO YOUR FEET FALL FLAT WHEN YOU TALK WITH THAT HAPPY-GO-LUCKY PARKER--starring JOYCE PARKER AND THE SUNSHINY BOY, HER BROTHER AND ONLY TWIN, JERRY PARKER IN 'DIE NOW OR NEVER.' As we listened with aching sides to the twin comedians, Stan reported that Jerry was also a famous businessman in down- town Des Moines, owning a large TV and Radio Center. Stan drove us up to a beautiful white hospital where he said Nancy Johnson was a very successful nurse. Nancy was off duty when we reached her, so she took us to her home. Nancy reported that Lois was a great band leader with her own orchestra and was widely known for playing the clarinet, coronet and had her own TV program. She said Lois was now in Hollywood starring in a production being made by Paramount Pictures. Nancy also told us it was only a few blocks down the street where Donna Miller owned the famous Des Moines Newspaper and Dan Culveyhouse was her popular cartoon artist. We all walked over to see Donna and Dan and as we visited we learned that Gunther Wiedmann was a chemistry and German professor in the University of Iowa, and Geneva Smith was a school teacher in a small school in the suburbs of Chicago. Just then someone mentioned Gene Freshour's name, and Donna lbeing a newspaper womanl furnished the information. She told us Gene was a great secret service detective in New York City and Pauline Bontrager was his secretary. Going over our list of co-graduates, we ran across the name of David Kruse. Dan said Dave was a tree surgeon in the Forrestry branch of the State government. Stan said our plane should be ready, and, as it was getting late, we said goodbye to our friends and hurried back to the airfield. After thanking Stan, we continued on our way. Upon arriving in Yellowstone, we were very hungry, so we stopped at an exclusive restaurant to eat. On the sign read Horn lnn and Chew Awhile. Looking over our menu we came upon Lorraine Horn, proprietress. Entering a smart looking department store, we could see beautiful clothes by the dozens. The clerk said they were all designed by their own clothes designer, the brilliant Ann Godshalk. Passing the fur department we saw Dennis lBudl Smith inspecting the furs. Going in to talk to him, he said he had iust got back from Canada with furs. Having come with us, Ann said Bud was a very famous fur trapper and was sending his furs to all parts of the world. Continuing into the park, our first thought was Old Faithful where who should we see but the famous Beverly Phillips, the well-known socialist, and her husband and two children. As we were talking Bev told me Wilma Reynolds was very busy with the newest in hair styling in Washington, D. C. On our way back home we decided if there ever was another trip to be made, it would be back to the interesting and successful lives of the Class of '5l, but as soon as I got back I knew I must concentrate on practicing for my next tour with my accordion.
