We are still awaiting the arrival of many of our guests. Here comes Jerry-Ellen and Ardath. Ardath married John Caruso and now lives in a Hollywood mansion with scores of servants to care for her 15 children. Jerry-Ellen married Oleg Casini and they now own a shop in Paris. In case you haven't heard,Jerry- Ellen has been nominated World Hair Stylist of the year. Tom has just ar- rived in his Rolls Royce. He is starring in his own T. V. series, Thomas Perry Mason . Just for the record, he hasn't won a case yet. Ken and Rich- ie are here now. They are enjoying the success in the music field. They have just received a gold record for selling a million copies of The Red River Valley Boogie Woogie . Andrea, June, Karen, Grace and Dave have come. Andrea has been awarded the Nobel Physics Prize for her outstanding achieve- ment of finding an easy way to pass high school Physics. June is handing out autographed copies of her Pulitizer Prize winning book 2084. Karen is a world famous horse trainer at the Picidilly Circus and Grace is living in Wash- inton, D. C., where she will resume the duties of the Secretary of Defense. Dave has just finished a 500 mile hike under President Thomas Sullivan's Physical Fitness Program to see Elizabeth Taylor. Here comes Martha! For a while we didn't know if she would be able to make it. She is residing in North Viet Nam where her husband, Mark, is a Major General in the U. S. Army. What's that noise? Oh, it's Charlie, Brian, and Bill. They are em - ployed by General Motors Corporation and are designing the 1986 Ford Road- runner presently. Did you hear about Walt? He has a monopoly on all the jokes in the world. He has them listed as to their funniness. Can't tell a joke now without first consulting Walt. Louie has just returned from a safari in Africa where he captured a 5 footed orangotang. Steve has just won the Indianapolis 500 with his Pontiac. James has been awarded the Mars Playboy Prize for the best picture of Miss Mars. DECEMBER: Christmas play and Red Rose Tea commercial NOVEMBER: The band plays at cutting of Nation's Xmas Tree.
