I wAS STUNNED FOR A MINUTE, FOR IT HAD BEEN EXACTLY TEN YEARS SINCE I HAD SEEN A FAMILIAR FACE FROM DELAWARE. NATURALLY WE DEGAN TALKING ABOUT OUR OLD SCHOOL DAYS ABOUT THOSE wHO HAD GONE THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER AND GRADUATED IN THE CLASS OF 'h9. BETTY wAS NOW A PRIVATE SECRETARY FOR THE SAID RENEE RALSON, AND, I MIGHT ADD, A VERY EFFICENT ONE. WE DEGAN OUR CONVERSATION ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF DON TIPTON AND HIS WIFE, THE FORMER MARY Lou DEEN, WHO wERE BOTH NOW FAMOUS ARCHITECTS. JUST THEN JERRY WALKER, NOW A TRAVELING SALESMAN, CAME INS HE WAS SELLING POTTER'S PADDED PIN CUSHIONS.

JUST THEN RENEE RALSON CAME IN, AND WHO WAS SHE? NONE OTHER THAN OUR OWN HELEN CRANOR. SHE SAID SHE HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COULDN'T SPARE THE TIME FOR AN INTERVIEW. I WOULDN'T HAVE RECOGNIZED HER IF I HADN'T BEEN INTRODUCED TO HER, FOR SHE LOOKED SO DIFFERENT FROM THE LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL GIRL OF MY MEMORY. I THANRED BETTY FOR HER TIME AND SAID I WOULD COME BACK ANOTHER DAY AND ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T GET MY INTERVIEW, THE WIND SEEMED LESS CHILLY AS I LEFT, BECAUSE I HAD SEEN OR HEARD FROM ALL OF THE GRADU- ATION CLASS OF 'LI9. --SHIRLEY DAMME
