611'-4-4' Pfwphwf CContinued from page 171 It was getting late and a place to sleep would soon be hard to find. I had no troublc in etting a room in one of New York's most exclusive hotels, the Ritz-Carltow, owned and o erated by Jimmy Wisdom. The next morning I picked the early edition of the New work Daily Reflector, edited by Kathleen Martin. The headlines read Dillon Helms, Wall Street Tycoon, Buys Up All Available Stock in Western Oil Company. It was time to leave again, and this time I set my course for Detroit. People in the automobile city had been amazed when Lee Roy Biggerstaff revolutionized the auto world with a vehicle that was a cross between a car, a motorcycle, a bicycle, and a roller skate. Lee Boy had built up quite a business. Boy Fowler was the head of the biggest union there and he and Lee Boy were usually squabbling about something. Doris Brock, Evelyn Bullock, and Dot Kinzy were co-owners o a very up-to-date department store which was right in downtown Detroit. It was time to leave again and this time I really had a trip before me, for I was heading for San Francisco. I made the trip without too much bad luck, having only two forced landings and coming down both times among friends. The first. time, I landed in a bi cow pasture, which I discovered to be a part of Bost's Dairy Farm, owned by Bobgy Bost. Accepting Bobby's hospitality for the night, I was able to get my plane into fiying condition for an early morning take-off. I had been flying only about six hours when my engine quit again. This time I came down on a rest camp operated by Dr. Bill Craddock. His resort took care of people who needed a rest from overwork. Louise Huneycutt, one of his most affluent patients and the owner of a large cattle ranch, was there. So was David Hoffman, who was overworked from try- ing to get out of work. His oil wells in Oklahoma supported him. I finally made it to San Francisco without any more bad luck. The fruit business was booming and Curtis Kennington was albig time operator in it. Betty True Thomas, Mary Sue Strickland, and 'lonell Current had a very nice model business built up. Doris Williamson had made quite a name for herself as a writer. She was now working on a book called Easy Lexicography for the Hamssed Senior. Inez Torrence and Elizabeth Misenheimer were operating a private school, which had an enrollment of live hundred. Cornelia Aimar had a fifteen minute gossip pro ram on the radio. Cornelia wasn't the only one of our class on the radio, though. Evefyn Welborn, Sarah Kennerly, and Hilda Fisher had a quiz show together every week. I had to leave again, and this time I took off for Alaska. I had heard that several of my classmates had built up a settlement in the new frontier. I landed in a place called Yrtnuoc Dloc Cwhich, when spelled backward, is Cold CountryD.'Howard Hayes was the leader in this quaint little place. The people there were making a fortune off the many new industries which had sprung up. Maydean McKinney and Betty Ritchie were kept quite busy in their tannery, where they tanned the hides of the wild animals that trapper James Horne brought in. The Cay Lad ,H a high class night club owned by Marilyn Berryhill and Peggy Kelly, did a lot of business on weekends, when all the miners came to town. lohn Brown, who had been especially successful in Alaska, owned three gold mines and a steamship company. Mildred jones and Gloria Staton had a very profitable seal farm, where they sold the carcasses for meat and made coats out of the skins. I was amazed to learn from them that if it were not for the cannery which Edith Newell and Elsie Thomas operated, the people there would starve during the winter season. After seeing all of this I took off for home. Ten years have done a lot for the Seniors of 47.'i Some have gained great wealth, and all of them have achieved untold happiness. . ' Page Nineteen
