Prophecy con’t. Bob Ormiston runs a flying veterinarian service in New Mexico, now. Because there is so much waste land out there, he has to have two helicopters for the job. When I arrived in San Francisco, I happened to run into Nellie Riegle. She runs a Chinese restaurant there. All the movie stars love to go there, and she is slowly running Ciro's out of business. It was in there that we heard about Lucille Deno. She is now Rock Hudson's private secretary. Lucy had to hunt quite a while to get a job as exciting as that. There were billboards all over Hollywood with Pat Boelke's picture on them, so we went to see her. She has quite an exclusive dress shop. She also makes most of the clothes which Judy Patterson sells. Delores Beaty now lives in Southern California. She recently inherited a 2,000 acre Orange grove that is rumored to be worth millions. She and Charlie are living in a spacious home surrounded by their acres of oranges. I” am Dick Dowty. I have a space fleet that has recently run Captain Video out of business. On earth, they wouldn't let me even drive a car, so I had to have some way to motivate. 22

Prophecy The other day as I was cruising around the U.S. in my Super Jet, I had an occasion to meet one of my old schoolmates of the Class of 54 . After talking for a while I found out Roger (Cub) Lyons was now a big time dentist. He has his own office which consists of one solid acre of modern buildings. His office is located in a suberb of New York. While in New York, I dropped over to see Fred Ford, who has been President of G.M. for five years. He started working for G.M. as a niechanical engineer. He is a bachelor living in a penthouse with four Cadillacs. He spends his leisure hours with Judy Patterson, to whom he is engaged. Fred gave me the address to Judy’s Dress Shoppe, so I went over to see her. Judy had started as a Conover Model, and then started her own modeling agency, which grew into a Dress Shoppe, where she also sells quite a few minks. Judy told me about Ruth Wilson, who is also working at G.M., on a re- search project. She and her husband, Bob, are perfecting a rocket ship. When it is completed, they will go to Mars together. Since I was so close, I went over to see Wanda Whaley, who to my surprise is still unmarried and has a secretarial job in Maryland. Doing quite well, too! ! We heard of a new town that has come into existence, and were quite surprised to learn our one and only Bertha Ashbaugh is now a Kindergarten teacher in Doodeyville, U.S.A. In her spare time, she is very busy with her five boys, Walt, Bob, Ernie, Cook, and Lester. Next, I went down to Mobile. Alabama to see Jim Pence. He now runs a fleet of 1964 Chevies and as you would expect, they are all Hot Rods. His business is known as Pence's Putt Putts. Jim told us of another classmate down in that vicinity—Pat Hancock. She is a fifth grade teacher in New Orleans, and in her spare time, she runs a shipping business. She is quite happy with this because she has so many porters. We had heard so much about Kay Cooper, we went up to Louisville, Kentucky to see her. She is running her own band, and they are called Cooper's Super Doopers. They are doing quite well, and Kay has become very well-known (among the hill-billies.) When we went back to Brook, we found several improvements around B.H.S. Dave Curts is the head coach at Brook since Mr. Miller retired. He beat Kentland every year since '53-'54, and won every Sectional Tourney, so he decided to give someone else a chance to get in on the loot. Janet Laffoon is now the Superintendent at Brook. She replaced Mr. Loveless because she has more patience with school skippers than he did. Leroy Murfitt owns most of the land northeast of Brook and has recently foreclosed on Harry Lawrence. He is happily married ana lives in the newest style house. It is Ranch type, but it is a completely glass house—made for better viewing. Since we were so close, we went up to see Ann Fitzgerald. She is an English teacher at Notre Dame, and after classes, she is a housemother in a football fraternity. Karen Martin took Chicago by storm. Since graduating from law school, she is the biggest attorney since Clarence Darrow. Her firm is known as Martin Martin, and Martin. Donna Lopp is living in Colorado with her husband, Donnie, we found out from Karen. After putting him through college, they moved out there where he does agricultural research. Donna told me about Shirley Howell Harrington. She is a Texan now, and has acquired a Southern drawl and so have her three children. Her husband ’’Doyle is in the Service out there. 21
