and pl 0l0AOCg It was during the winter of 1973 that I dropped over to see Terry Jack- son, my old class mate, to have a friendly evening of general conversation. Terry had taken over his father's business after graduation from college, and had consolidated all of the Puget Sound and Alaska fish canneries into one giant enterprise, known as the Jackson Fish Fry, Inc. In the course of the conversation, he mentioned that he was receiving shipment the next day on a new yacht which has a cruslng speed of 150 knots. Gradually' the talk swung around, until we decided to take a trip around the world and look up our old classmates of '53 with his new 300 foot yacht. As this was his slack season, he could get away. I could leave the S00 acre rabbit ranch, which Jim Erickson and I owned jointly, in his care. He had 'been A1leAmerican at Central Washington for 3 years, and following that had had the distinction of being the only white player on the Globe Trotters basketball team. Following that, Jim and I had teamed up as big time rabbit operators. Darlene Workman and Jim were married now and had those famous Erickson quintuplets, which keep Darlene so busy that she has no time to slime fish at Terry's new 60 million dollar cannery ingFriday Harbor. I had married the former Lois Hammond and she had found her calling as advertising head for our rabbit concern. It seems that people can't resist her ads, and as a consequence, rabbit praising has almost replaced beef cat- tle. She has had mamr offers from large companies, but has 'preferredto use her talents where she is now. ' Terry and I started out on January 3rd, with Bill Erickson and Jerry Waner among those seeing us off. Bill became an engineer after four years in college and specialized in bridges. He was doing fine until one of his brid- ges collapsed, resulting in 200 deaths and six million dollars in damage suits. After that no one would hire him for some reason. Then he used his talents and figured out a formula for splitting cordwood. He now keeps Roche Harbor supplied by himself, his only trouble being to move his equipment fast enough. Jerry turned out to be a smash hit as a comedian in Hollywood, until he had to spend a week-end in a hotel room with some unknown who could top' all his jokes. He got so sick of the whole business that he retired to his first love as golf pro at the five million dollar golf course at San Juan Park. Before Terry and I started out, we stopped in at Clarence Youngbergs Space Port at Mount Vernon for some rocket fuel for our ship. It seems that something went wrong with Clarence's l9h0 Olds, and before he got it back to- gether, he gave up and started the first rocket repair shop. He was with Spike Jones and his Corn Boys for several years,but he finally settled on the Space Port. However he still plays at Seven Cedars in the evenings with his Oim bands we got our fuel from Elwyn McKay, who has the concession with Clarence. Elwyn now is 6'h and weighs 265 lbs, all solid muscle. His favorite past- im is making firewood with bare hands, and has set several world records as the world's champion weight lifter. Just as we were ready to leave, Santos Pantoja came in with his latest rocket creation. He runs and airplane from Mars. to Earth now, making therun in an advertised time of lb days. He was the first man to get to Mars and discovered a race of primitive people there,which he has converted to tourist businessmen.
