As I was soaring ovor Minnesota, I stopped in Minne- apolis to get a bite to eat. I heard a great thunder of noise coming from a building and soon found that a basketball game was in session. At the half, I went over to the scorekeeper s desk. As I looked up into the acorekeeper's face an old memory struck me. She looked Just like a black-haired girl from Corder who used to keep score for my BlueJays. Yes, it was Kate Corse and now she is official scorekeeper for the Minneapolis Lakers. Great guns, she is really looking super 1 She still wasn t married because holding such an important Job took all of her time. We talked for a iile, but then the whistle blew and she had to get back to work so I started again on my trip. I zoomed on across to Wisconsin and perched on a newly constructed house to spend the night. Early the next morning I was awakened by voices talking across the garden fence. I flew down and sat on a clothesline strung with diapers to get a look at the person who was doing all the talking. I recognized the face right away as the former Jane Pregge, now Mrs. Jack Serum. I complimented her on her lovely home and she told me Jack had designed it himself. Jane still loved cheese cake and had just finished making a delicious or». I know because she gave me some select crumbs. After a few hours, I headed back toward home. I decided to stop in Kansas City to see Suzie and Papi. Sue was the only one home when I arrived. She told me Papi was at work but that he would be home soon. I told her I would like to stay, but I had to hurry so she showed me around her cute little house. We didn't enter one room because she said she was saving the best for the last. Her surprize turned out to be a new addition to the family--a little boy whom they named Tony. Since I was getting closer to home and pretty tired too. I hurried on to Higginsvilla. There, out on South Hill I found Ginny and Paul. They had a new house and two sweet children. Ginny told me that Paul had Just become the new manager of the Safeway Store in Higgins- ville. There was a picture of him on the front of the Higginsville Advance which she showed me. I noticed another announcement in the same paper. It was about the grand opening of the Brown Hat Rim Just south of Higginsville. The title interested me so I read on and found that the owner was none other than Reva (Gus) Beard. I told Ginny about my trip and that since I wanted to attend the grand opening of the Brown Hat Rim I made a rapid departure. When I arrived at the Brown Hat Rim Reva was very busy as people were swarming around like bees. I stayed for a long time and finally had an opportunity to speak to Reva and wish her good luck.
