They all credit their ability to their high school training. Several of our classmates thought so much of their education that they went on to become teachers. Ralph Ballard, Bob Atkinson, Charles Cal- ivas, and Rosemary J urgins are a part of the New York school system. I had a chance to talk to several distinguished persons that you might know in Ciro's today. Sandra Barris and Sandra Caldwell, Oklahoma's two congresswomen, Lester Arnold, Paul Barney, Gene Burchfield, and Roger Gammon who now own the Conrad- Hilton chain of hotels, and Orval Bartley, Donald Burns, Frank Cof- fey, Dempsey Roten, David W'erner, Charles Wedel, Tommy White, Lee- Roy Matthiesen, Clyde Oakley, Gene Pierson, alld Larry Rash who com- pose the startling li11e-up of the New York Giants Professional football team. Well, back to work. Be looking forward to your next letter. John. Fountainbleau Hotel Miami, Florida July 6, 1976 Mr. John Doop 1049 Fifth AVQIIUC New York, New York Dear John, How in the world are you? I was very pleased to hear from you. Ev- erything must be fine up in New York from the sounds of your letter. Guess who I saw at Hialeah Race Track yesterday? Kay Meibergen was working hard at her job as a bookie. Some of the jockies included Ronald Bateman, Kenneth Bull, Bob W'ine- brenner, and Richard Riffel. Some of the grooms I noticed were Sandra Wnrth, Rosalie Unruh, and Betty Oakley. Say, John, did you know that Dean Montgomery owned the Fountain- bleau Hotel, the one 17111 staying in? 1 understand it cost 18 n1illio11 dol- lars. And do you remember Bill Fran- cis? He owns Frannie's Peanut Shop on Ocean View Drive. Did you know that Phil Hemphill is in. charge of feeding the birds on Char- lene Hickis mansion grounds in Mi- ami? The whole T.V. show formerly known as Arthur Godfrey and His Family, has been taken over by Bill Lang. He and his whole show which includes Patsy Hathoot, Barbara Oliver, and Sue Pope are vacationing on Miami Beach. Robert Conklin has taken over the spot formerly held by Tony Martin. Don't forget that I'll be in New THE QUILL Qqwuoe yahhe Continued from page 17 York next week. See you then! Ann. Dear Diary- NVhee! NVhat a mad whirl I've had this week in New York with John. Vile went to the Stork Club the other night. It was so much fun, I'd always wanted to go there. We saw Donald Beckwith riding by on his super motorcycle. F a r r e l l Breed was master of ceremonies. Harold Baller and Bob Dennis put on a com- edy act. Edwin and Lloyd Eck sang a duet that was entitled as Straight from Oklahoma Style. John Marler and Bob Kirby along with their dates, Nancy Earnest and Dorothy Purnell were among the soc- ialites who were there. Kay Kaufman and Karen Smith were two of the cigarette girls in their short, short dresses. Katreena Price took a picture of John and me. She is quite a famous photographer. Janet Mitchell checked John's top hat. Guess what! Some very famous stage actors came in while we were there. Elaine lVhite and Bob Hol- comb sat at the table right next to ours. The Rockettes performed during the floor show. Some members of the precision troupe are Mary Helen Bo- gert, Ruth Ann Cox, Pat Dudley, Mary Eva Heffron, Mary Nell Hoov- er, Dana Rahm, and Zelma IVoodard. Yesterday John took me on a tour of downtown New York. We stopped in at the New York Times Building a11d discovered that Rosemary Killani is now the editor, the first woman ever to hold that position. We saw many copy boys running around. Some of them were M. L. Boren, Ches- ter Dayton, Gail Henderson, and Fred Osborn. In Central Park we saw Phil Har- riss vending peanuts. Steve MeKeever and Mark Ritchie were sitting on a. park be11ch feeding the pigeons. A neon sign across Fifth Avenue advertising Chuck Lewisis founda- tions with Elaine Palecek as the model. Then we went to see Don Wil- liams fighting in Madison Square Garden. YVell, I have to get some sleep. Good night-- Boardwalk Hotel Atlantic City, N. J. August 1, 1976 Mr. John Doop 1049 Fifth Avenue New York, New York Dear John, I got here in Atlantic City just in time for the Miss America contest. Several '56 grads were there. Some of the girls in the contest were Sandy Barris, Miss New York, Carolyn Eu.- banks, Miss Texas, Pat Hayes, Nevada, Faye Holteen, Miss Califor- nia, Louise Meek, Miss Alabama, Joan Barnes, Miss Illinois, and Ann Wliite, Miss Rhode Island. Some of the judges enjoying their jobs were Mike Matheson, chew- ing gum tycoon, Keith Roberts, presi- dent of Tidy Didies, Charles Swartz, pro golf champ, and Bob W'arren, the syndicated cartoonist. On hand to crown the lucky winner was Mr. America, Jerry Frisk. Rich- ard M cCormick was a policeman hold- i11g the crowd back from the board- walk. Very interesting contest! No more time to write now, but will again from Las Vegas. Ann. Sahara Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada August 12, 1976 Mr. John Doop 1049 Fifth Avenue New York, New York Hi again John, Here I am in Las Vegas. It's sure hot here. Earlier tonight I visited some of the famous gambling places along the strip. In the Golden Nugget, Hester Burehfield and Frankie Bush were chefs. John Cain, Monte Caywood and David Dance were cashiers. Appropriate music was provided by the band which included John Craig on his trombone, Donald Cone tickling the ivories, Jimmy Silver o11 the tuba, Bill Sturdevant playing a bass viol, and George Tappan on the bass horn. Girls working at the ticket win- dows were Eldeana Alexander, Caro- lyn Albright, Teddy Beneditti, Della Coffey, Marjorie Collier, Donna Her- ring, and Judy Lang. I understand that a bunch of wo- men l saw standing around were school teachers 011 a vacation all to- gether. They were Phyllis St-utchnian, Delores Smith, Pat Sharp, Janis Par- rish, Pearl Wofford, and J une Fields. A place here in Las Vegas that very few people hear about is the Gund- lack Jelly Bean factory owned by Carol Gundlaek. Some of her em- ployees are Joan Arrington, Myrna Kay Born, Beverly Cochran, Judy Dalton, Jane Hermanski, and Erma Larman. Continued to page 97 27
