(fitted 'PnafiAecy While on my vacation from my duties as secretary to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Charles Bloss, I decided to return to Chittenango for a visit. Before leaving Washing- ton, I met Jack Norman, U. S. Ambassador to Albania. He hold me that while in England he went to a wrestling match and saw Elliot Weston become the World Champion Wrestler. Jack also told me that Myron Burke has become captain of the S. S. Mount Vernon. (Remember that cruise?) I decided to stop in New York on the way to Chittenango. On a billboard, I noticed a sign advertising Don Mousey Armlin as the circus strongman. I also noticed Carolyn Marshall's name on Broadway. (She's quite an actress you know.) While in New York, I wanted to take in some television shows. In the lobby of the studio, I met Eileen Kinnetz, who has become a world traveler. I also met Ida Wisner and Shirley Jardine who have become models, Ida for long hair styles and Shirley a photographer's model. The Paul Whiteman show was very enjoyable. I was surprised to find that many of my classmates are members of Whiteman's cast. Donna Powers sings with the girls' quartette. Fred Blaiser plays with the orchestra and Carol Bosckle gave up teaching to become soloist with Whiteman. Carol told me that Barbara DeGroat has become pianist with Ron Boylan's Jazzy Jivers. Bob Sawyer is the Master of Ceremonies for many quiz shows. Pat Conley appeared on one of these and I learned that she is now president of the National As- sociation of Gigglers. Upon arriving in Chittenango, I noticed an ultra-modern building. I learned that this is Dean Bender's new garage. Incidentally, It was designed by Ron Sandholzer, who has become a very famous architect. Fred Devendorf, who now owns a large cab fleet in Syracuse, was one of Dean's first customers. I noticed a used car lot and was told it belongs to Norman Gifford. While walking up to visit the school, I met Annette Eller (her name has been changed now). She quit her job at the telephone company to put all her energies into housework (it takes a lot of washing to get the grease out of Doug's clothes). She told me that Lewis Reals is an Admiral in the U. S. Navy and that Lee Button has become a state trooper. (He's very good when it comes to catching speeders.) She also told me that Frank Impelizzieri owns a chain of supermarkets and that Carpenter is his local manager. I finally made it to the school. As I walked through the halls, I noticed that Barbara Chandler is teaching languages. I also noticed that Shirley Olmstead has become the dietician. I stopped to talk to Virginia Du Bois, who's secretary to the principal, John Button. She told me about all my other classmates. She mentioned the bridge club which consists of Dawn Stedman, Bev Bryant, Hazel Goodfellow and Carolyn Herlov who are all married now. Bev Meyers is also married and is President of the local P.T.A. Evelyn DeVaul owns a large, exclusive restaurant. Barbara Winer and Barbara Mintonye are both successful nurses. Dan Reardon is a cigarette salesman. Jack Browne'l and Bob Mohorter are farmers and Don Thayer is a professional basketball player. Well, I had a very enjoyable vacation trip. I was glad to see old friends. I think they have all done well-from Supreme Court Judge to cab driver. Don't you??
