At first it seemed kind of lonely here, so far away from home, but a let of my old class- mates write me letters. I especially enjoy those from Lucille Wubbena. They certainly are interest- ing. You knew, didn't you, that she is a mission- ary in India now? Gene always comes to see me when the plane she is on stops over. She really gets around and knows where almost all of our old class- mates are. She says that Simon Schroeder is in the automobile business in Forreston and that Harold Birkholz is teaching school.

Inquiring about her destination he found that she was a movie ac- tress on her way to Hollywood to make a picture. Wanting some information from the stewardess they found that she was their old schoolmate, Frances Gene Lang. She was delighted to see them and while talking happened to mention that Milford Alberts was pilot and Gerald Duitsman was co-pilot of the plane in which they were traveling. Landing at Omaha at 4:15 in the afternoon, Donald and Vivian drove to town for dinner. On the way they passed two hitch hikers--none other than Victor Conkey and Glenn Mase.

Dack on the plane Donald and Vivian talked about all these old classmates and Vivian mentioned that she had received a letter from Vildred Funk, who is working in a grocery store in Shannon. Tildred said in her letter that she sees Vinnie Ueegens sometimes. Winnie is married and living on a farm not far from Forreston. nwhere is Evelyn Jacobs, Vinnie's old pal, by now?n Donald asked. HOh, she's head librarian in a library in Salt Lake City. I was very much surprised when I heard this because you know we all thought that she was going to be a farmer's wife. I also heard that Inge Dalsheim is happily married and living in Freeport.U The next stop they found was to be Reno. They were very glad of this because they wanted to see the town that they had heard so much about. They were there only a short while when they ran into none other than Teddy Sehoon, a lawyer in that city. Vivian and Donald happened to think that they had found the whereabouts of almost all their grad- uating class of ten years ago so they asked Teddy if he knew anything about Ellsworth Lewis and Edwin Kilker, his pals in Forreston High School. HOh yes,n he said, nEllsworth is the owner of a large creamery and Edwin is working his way to the top, rather fast, in the wrestling profession. Vivian and Donald had to rush on to catch their plane and during the remainder of their journey dis- cussed all their classmates, of whom they had seen and heard. 3
