D. PATRICIA SAYER FASHION EDITOR MADEMOISELLE MAGAZINE 575 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK 22, NEW YORK March 10, 1964 Dear Mom and Dad, ' You'll have to excuse my using the official stationery. I'm here at my of- fice before closing time of a strenuous and exciting day. This morninglwas assigned to cover a fashion show by some of the young designers here on the coast and was surprised to find that some of the best new fashions were done by Marian Wingfield whose trade name is Mari . She suggested that we lunch together at the 21 Club, where one of our former Bryan classmates, Portia Robb, is appearing as guest pianist for this week. After Portia finished her smooth music, she came over and talked with us for a while. We learned that Sonia Louden is now head child psychologist at Fels Institute in Yellow Springs and that Luise Rothemund holds one of the top positions with the Kettering Research Foundation. After lunch as we were driving back to my office in my See Special, lYou remember - I told you that Leonard designed this jet-propelled car for mel we turned on the television set and caught the last of New York's most popu- lar disc jockey program, Joyce the Voice Clark. Someone flew over pretty low in a helicopter and if it hadn't been for the excellent traffic plan drawn up by Dr. Walter Knecht, we would have crashed into the wall of a nearby theater. I thought that the picture on the poster we brushed by looked familiar, and Marian said, Oh, yes, that's Joan Shoemaker. Her modern dance group is here for a six-week's booking. By the way, Marian, I asked, what is Tom Fess doing nowadays? QI think I wrote you that he was appointed ambassador to Lower Slobbovia.j Oh, he's started a. Shakespearean theater group in his adopted country. Guess he's got grease paint in his blood. We whizzed by a. chartered plane which had landed on the Broadway air strip. On the side was written Lightning Lingo's Lankies. Oh, that was the famous basketball team which is the sequel to the Har- lem Globetrotters. You know, we have some pretty famous people who were classmates of ours. We surely do - look at Jim Bridgett, top sports announcer, and Diantha Whitmore, whose art work is on exhibit at the Museum of Ultra-Modern Art now. Say, Pat, whatever happened to those people who stayed in and around Yellow Springs? Marian asked. Well, let's see. I answered. Bill Mefferd is president of N. C. R. in Dayton. Harold Blackwood and Al Hoffman are both ministers in Ohio. Harold married Nancy Acton after he finished college. By the way, did you read about her winning the Goose Down baking contest? No, I didn't. What happened to Pat Alexander and Avanell Gibbs? she inquired. Pat has a. music school in Dayton and Avanell is head stenographer at the Morris Bean Company, I told her. And what about Sue DeWine's being elected state senator from her dis- triCt? By this time we were outside Marian's apartment building, so I dropped her off and came back to the office. When I walked in I was handed two interviews to cover for our Interest- ing People section. One was a young man from California who operates a camp-type school on the west coast for children who wish to become cartoonists - Daniel Michael O'Gara. The next name I saw was that ofXarifa Sallume, who - the statistics claim - lives on an island in the middle of the Seine. Even the Left Bank is too con- ventional for her! This young woman owns half of Europe's wine industries. Well, folks, it's closing time, so I'll sign off for now. Much love, Pat I Sponsored by A. C. SERVICE 17
