CLASS PROPHECY J une 15,1964 Sarasota, Florida Dear Edna, I certainly was surprised when I saw you at the airport last week. Do you realize it’s been almost ten years since we graduated and left the dear old C O Hospital? Since you are living in Canada and have not seen our classmates for several years, I will try to catch you up on happenings since we were together. My dear old roommate, Janette Griffis, she’s still there at the C O, but she’s pro¬ gressed to the position of Obstetrical Supervisor. Irene Carson is still there too, but I hear her husband wants her to quit and go to Texas. Martha Greene and Janet Dodds left Clifton Forge in 1955 and went to Bluefield, West Virginia. I think they are both doing Public Health work there. Barbara Martin was in Delaware but she left and went to Alaska to practice Mid¬ wifery . Joan Williams just recently financed the building of a big clinic in Renick, West Vir¬ ginia . Betsy and Leon Saville made the headlines of the Ridgepatch Dispatch last week. They’ve had three sets of twin boys in five years. Peggy Hayslett and Buster are living in Sparta, N. C. They have a son and daughter and Peggy is doing General Duty in the hospital, there. Norma Judy is doing General Duty in the Virginia Baptist Hospital in Lynchburg. She plans to leave for Africa as a missionary soon. Betty Grogg is happily married to Bob and living in Ohio. I hear she is working as Pediatric Supervisor in her own private hospital there. Laura Johnson and John are happily married and living in California. No offsprings yet! ! ! . Peggy Masters and ZellAustin are airline hostesses on TWA. They take four months vacation each year and go to Bermuda. Delma Anderson is writing advice to the lovelorn for True Romance” magazine, a- side from nursing. Rachel Loudermilk and Delores Sims are in the Navy Nurse Corps here in Florida (Key West). They are dating two Admirals. Kay Sweet is clinic nurse at the Greenbrier Hotel. 1 hear she is dating Sammy Snead’s son. Carolyn Smith and her Captain husband are in Germany. He’s decided to make the Army his career. Freda Hatton and John are living in Flatwoods, Ky. She does private duty when she can find someone to baby sit with her nine kid s for thirty-five cents an hour. Well, Eddie, I guess that about covers everyone. Write soon and tell me how you are progressing with your clinical teaching and also news of your husband and your two child¬ ren . I have to be off now to pack. I am to meet Peggy Bell in Washington, D.C. in a couple of days. You know we took a post-graduate course in Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Hospi¬ tal and then went to Children’s in D.C.; and now we are going to study Diseases of Child¬ ren” at New York General Hospital in New York City, after two weeks vacation. I sure would like to see you and all our old classmates and reminisce over all the won¬ derful and unusual happenings during and since our years in training. Maybe we can all get together at our class reunion this fall. Bye now-- Always , Windy Newman
