Riley During our conversation I found out he was married to his old girl friend, Anita Hirson, and had six little boys, who were going to follow in his foot steps 1f he had anything to sq about +he1r future I asked Paul if he knew where any of the rest of our old classmates were, and he said he knew Lorna Alldridge was working in Portland on one of the papers as their star re porter, and he thought the famous ballerina dancer of Holly wood, Madam Rosemary Gates, was our former classmate Rose mary Gates I told him when I got to California I would look her up . . . , ' Y! . . . 12 . .
