It had been ten years since I'd been back to my home town of Bristol. so when my husband found time to take two weeks vacation last summer we decided to go back to see the town and all of our former classmates. Upon arriving. the airport manager, who was none other than Don Cloud. told us that Bristol had grown to a population of 50,000 and it might be rather hard for us to find our way around. But we did discover that Diana Secor was to give a piano recital that evening at the Opera House. Upon talking to her before the recital we learned that Ronald Teall was the composer of most of her music. We also learned that a dramatic play starring Gailyn North was to be pre- sented the following evening. The next day I decided that I could use a new hair-set and the operator of the town's most exclusive beauty salon turned out to be Helen Green. Later that day we visited the newly completed grade school, high school, and the field house. While we were there we talked to the principal, Walter Zakrzewski, who informed us that he had revised the school system. He took us on a tour of the grade school and who should we meet but Peggy Hall, who was teaching the first grade. Further touring brought us face to face with the third-grade teacher. Elizabeth Miller. We completed our tour by going through the new field house. which seats 10.000, While we were there we talked to Max Godshalk, the head coach. about the state tourney winning team that he had produced this last season. We stayed that nightin a spacious hotel, owned and operated by the city 's shrewdest business- men. Russell Stutsman and Cecil Schneider. The next day we visited Mayor Patrick Moran's office. We were greeted by his private secre- tary, Cora Weaver. Cora told us that Pat would be able to talk with us as soon as he was through with his meeting with the city's prosecuting Attorney. Clifford Black. During our visit Pat told us that the city's new chief of police was none other than Bob Mor- rison. He also told us that if we were able to get out of town for a drive, we should be sure to stop at Mona Lu 's Haven for Homeless Children operated by Mone Reynolds. Mayor Moran also took us on a tour of the city hospital, whose director we found to be Bruce Erlandson. He ioined us on our tour, which brought us face to face with the hospital's most prominent doctor. Ann Gardner, and her two best surgical nurses, Carol Clarke and Mary Law- rence. After the tour through the hospital, Mayor Moran took us to the new Dupont factory, where we met Gerald Long. the president. who conducted us on a tour through the plant. That afternoon after our tour, I went shopping and wound up in Loanne Bloss's exclusive dress shoppe. Loanne informed us that Catherine Derby is the designer of her beautiful dresses and formals. While on my shopping spree. I stopped into the town's best men's shop. and who should be its manager but Arnold Wilhelmson. Our vacation was fast coming to an end and we decided to spend a few of the last days out- side the hustle and bustle of the city. The county's agriculture agent. Franklin Berkey, accompanied us on our visit to some of the area's largestfarms. Our first stop was at the Raber Farm, where we chatted with Larry for some time concerning his success in farming. He in turn told us to be sure to stop at Bloom's Chicken Farm. which were located just down the road a short distance. Fred, too, assured us that he had been quite successful. As we drove on we came upon a large dairy farm, which Franklin informed us was owned by Clare Trout and his charming wife, the former Jane Bostian. We were also anxious to see Frank Walther and Charles Phillips, but we were told that both boys owned large cattle ranches out west. On our last day in Bristol we visited the office of the city paper to renew our paper subscrip- tion and while we were there we talked with Editor Rex Hall and his senior artist, Marjorie Campbell, who was soon to leave him to present an art exhibition in New York. We left Bristol that evening, happy that we had been able to see most of our former class- mates and talk with them concerning their success. - Barbara Conover 18
