CLASS PROPHECY New York. June 6. 1960 Dearest Jack: Just have a spare minute so I’ll answer your last letter. As we made our last flight in the Eastern states, we landed our plane to refuel at LaGuardia field. While we were waiting I accidently glanced around the field, and to my surprise who should I see but Dean Brown, who was refueling our plane. I could hardly believe my eyes when I first saw him, but finally I realized that this really was my old Classmate, and I went over to talk to him. He also was surprised to see me and more surprised to learn that I was a stewardess on the ship that he was checking. Dean had the after- noon off so he and I went to the famous Luncheon at Sardies, where to our amazement we saw Mr. and Mrs. Orvil “Cotton” Martin (Mrs. Martin was formerly Verona Hiatt), who were spending their second honeymoon seeing the sights of New York. They are now living in Oklahoma and Mrs. Martin says she is very busy raising “cotton.” Dean, who had just returned from a months vacation in his old home town of Cambridge, in- formed us that there are still a few of the “Class of ’50” living in and around there. Frank Carroll followed his father’s footsteps, only he succeeded in climbing the ladder one step further and now is president of the First National Bank. I’m sure he is a good president, as he was always interested in money!! Remember when he used to count those pennies he acquired by calling heads or tails” ? ? ? ? ? Then too. I heard that our muscle man.” Jerry Minnick. has now taken over the manage- ment of the Minnick Hardware and is busy rais- ing herefords on his ranch just esst of Cambridge. Jerry is still plugging for the dear ol’ C. H. S. foot- ball team. For a few years he just walked the sidelines, but now he is on hand every Friday night to broadcast the Cambridge games. K. B. R. L. would like to hire him as its permanent sports announcer, but Jerry says he’s too busy with his Herefords. Oh! Yes You remember Sharon Cobra. I mean Coba Well anyway she has her fangs on Firm. I mean Vern Snow ! They are now living in Alaska watching their little “Snow Flakes flutter by. By the way. Mr. and Mrs. Snow and of course their Snow Flakes” too. have recently been elected “The most helpful family of the year.” and were presented The Golden Rule Award” !!! Dolores Conlin. who was our good soloist, drop- ped her career of singing and has gone into the field of nursing. She is now head nurse at the John Hopkins hospital, and is known throughout the country for her kindness and hospitality. She even sings lullabies to the “Babies” ............. that is BIG BOY BABIES!!!! Dean also informed us that during his visit to Cambridge he happened to see Dick and Yvonna Hayes, who were in town for the annual Saturday afternoon “Christmas Drawing.” Mrs. Hayes won the Grand Prize, and when Dean went to con- gratulate her she insisted that he come to their ranch, just north of Cambridge, for a turkey dinner. Dean said the turkey was very good, and that it was one of the many that they had raised on their ranch. After the delicious dinner Dean said they en- tertained him in the comfortable living room of their new-modern home by listening to musical recordings of Norma Carroll who is singing Carrols” with Fred Waring’s Orchestra, and of Delores Fidler. who started her career in music only one year ago. She is now playing second fiddle” in Ernest Tub’s Orchestra. By the way. I received a newsy note from Mr. and Mrs. Glen “Red” Reeves. They are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl named Glenda Joyce. Mrs. Reeve? will be remembered as Joyce Bose to many of us. Well Jack. I’m glad to hear that you are now- manager of one of the famous “Luther Market” establishments. I do hope that they continue to branch out. and that I can see one of the build- ings soon. Jack. I was very happy to hear that you’re coming to see me. and I have inquired about how soon I can be relieved of my job as a stewardess. They told me that it would be about six months, so we really can go on with our plans of a June wedding. Until then. I’ll be counting the minutes and writing every day. All my love. Marilyn
