28 EXETER HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 1948 CLASS PROPHECY Having just been married, my wife and I started on our honeymoon with Eddie Gorski as our chauffeur. We were in a hurry to catch a steam- er from New York to Australia for our honeymoon. I wasn't paying much attention to Eddie's driving, but he apparently was driving quite fast. A siren sounded just behind. It was none other than Carl Winch, the greatest motorcycle cop in New York, who brought us to a screeching halt. After my buddy, that is my former buddy, gave us a ticket for reckless driving and speeding, he jokingly escorted us to the dock. Once there, we went right to our stateroom. After sailing awhile, we decided to take a walk on deck. While en- joying the salt air, we bumped into Bob Gremmels. He said he was going to Australia to manage one of the many hotels he had acquired after leav- ing Exeter. After dinner with Bob, we retired for the evening. The next morning it was my good fortune to meet the captain of the ship. I couldn't quite picture Don Taylor as captain of such a huge ship, because Don and I had been lost on Colcord's Pond one summer. But I wasn't too worried until I found out that John Webster was our navigator. I felt better, however, when Benny Morin assured us of our safety. The voyage to Australia didn't seem so long with so many of our friends on board. As we stepped from the gangplank, we heard a taxi driver paging Jimmie Painton ! On asking him the trouble, he told me that he had orders to rush me right to the airport as quickly as possible. Since my re- turn involved several million dollars, we took seats on the plane even though we objected to interrupting our honeymoon. The pilot of the huge plane was Bob, Sargent, so we jumped up to get out, but it was too late, the Plane was taking off. I was even more dis- turbed when I noticed that the co-pilot was Gubby Burnham. The only thing left to do was to check our parachutes and fasten our safety belts. Suddenly the plane went through a series of loops and dives. This was routine, I learned, when Gubby and Sarge met hot pilots, Joe Korocy and Biddo White flying in the opposite direction. I was glad to get my feet on land again, and I noticed Bill Bernier at work on the engine of another plane. He said he enjoyed working on big planes best. - After closing the big deal, my wife and I made plans for our new house while celebrating in the hotel dining room. While we were eating, Tony Loch came to our table. He had just graduated from Boston College and had many ofers to play professional basketball. Tony recommended Rowell and Company as builders and architects. At Rowell's office, Doc Colcord answered the phone. Doc, the business manager, said they would put their two best men, Flynn and Bell, on the job. They contracted to complete the house in three months.
