 I met Lt. Cmdr. Lester Woodall on his way from Norfolk to Chicago on my trip. He really agrees with that Navy life as well as Capt. Joe Summers does with the Army. Shirley Dupree was traveling with Lester. She joined the Waves and is his private secretary. Roger Williams, M. D., is on the medical staff at Walter Reid Hospital in Washington, D. C. Raoul Maynard is the pastor of the Baptist Church in Cary. The membership has increased since he took the church. Thelma Dillard teaches the girls in the primary department, and she is also the church secretary. Vivian Blake graduated at Meredith last year, and she is a religious educator. Carolyn, Marie Holland has almost completed her wedding pians. She is doing secretarial work at the Revenue Department. Do you remember those bookkeeping classes we had? Mercy! We really studied in that class! By the way, Barbara Hansley and Frederick Page are bookkeepers for the Carolina Power Light Co. Colleen Johnson and Pearl Vaughn are secretaries for Billy Rogers, who has a chain of grocery stores over the United States. Linville Midgette is chief of police here in Cary—following in his daddy's footsteps, and he is doing an excellent job. I saw Helen Trader at the Stork Club a few days ago. She was celebrating an offer from Ronnie Stevens' Movie Studios to dance in Jackie Proescher's new movie The Greatest Dance On Earth. Well, Betty, what are you doing? I have a civil service job—stenographer at the Army base out at the Raleigh- Durham Airport. I've really enjoyed talking to you, Carolyn. Please do come out to see me while you are home. Can you come this weekend? Thank you, yes. I'll try to come out and see you Sunday. 'Bye now. PROPHETESS: Betty Cotten
