Our gang was getting larger, but we still had several classmates to pick up. On we went to Louisiana just in time for the Mardi Gras where we lind Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Troup QMrs. Troup is the former Dorcea Blosel celebrating their Wedding Anniversary. Also at the Mardi Gras were Shirley Myers and Helen Peteroti. They were on their vacation from Eckman's Refractory owned and oper- ated by Ronald Eckman, who was also at the Mardi Gras. The next morning we telephoned for a bus at the nearby Greyhound Bus terminal, and in a few minutes the bus was coming towards us at a high rate of speed. Only one person could be driving like that. We all knew at once it was Daytonis former speed maniac, Dave Ston- braker, who had just been hired for the job. After riding four hours, we were bothered with the growling of our stomachs, we then knew that they were requesting nourishment. We noticed a sign that read Reesman's Dinerf, which to our amazement was owned and oper- ated by two of our former classmates, Shirley and Ruth Reesman. VVhen given our menus, we were greeted by two smiling cigarette girls, Audine Hunsberger and Linda Brocious. After we had our lunch, we again boarded the bus and were on our way to Texas. Stopping in Houston, Texas, We were greeted by Ray Best, now a wealthy Texan oil well owner, who was in Houston winding up a huge business transaction in which he pur- chased the famous King Ranchi' from the former ovsmer, Ron Schrecengost. Ray invited us to come and tour his ranch. We found that a complete tour would take at least a week. We told him we could stay only a day, because we had to complete our search for the rest of our classmates in time for the reunion. Reaching his ranch, we were greeted by Ronald Mateer and Bud Martin. two of his top cowboys. Ron and Bud showed us around the ranch. After an exciting tour of the ranch and a wonderful dinner with our host, we started on our homeward journey with only a few more stops to make. Our next stop was Dallas, where we found Iudy Shirey, Phyllis Brocious, and Indy Shick working as secretaries for Neil Lydick, now owner of the famous Lydick,s Oil Corporationf, We told them of our reunion and asked them if they would like to join us, they gladly accepted.
