Ulead pwpfaeczf On April 15, 1956, I left by plane from Geneva's Municipal Airport to visit with one of my former classmates. I found that Bill Hale, a former classmate, now owned and operated this huge air field. As I entered the plane, a sweet young lady came to me and asked what she could do for me. To my surprise it was Charlotte Chew. She was working as an air steward- ess on the Trans-Continental Air Lines. Soon I was on my way to Chicago to hear Metropolitan's greatest opera singer of the time. none other than Mary Pusey. After attending her excellent performance, a taxi then took me to the home of the former Miriam Sprunger, who had mar- ried an evangelist, a pastor of one of Chi- cago's largest Missionary Churches. During my stay with Miriam, I called Juanita Seilschott, head supervisor of nurses at the Michael Reese Hospital, by phone. Miriam and I talked about the splendid times We had while we were in high school and what some of our former classmates were now doing. Miriam said that Ella Amstutz had left two weeks ago for Miami Beach, Florida, where she is now maid in the home of the Doctors Kenneth and Eula Van Emon QMrs. Van Emon was formerly Eula Burkj. Both have an M.D. Kenneth is the head surgeon and physician at the Miama Beach Hospital and Eula is his as- sistant. Ella stays with their small three- year-old daughter, Diana Kay. She also said that Donald Snow has been appointed catcher for the Chicago Cubs. Robert Cook, having been graduated from Har- vard, has opened his new law oflice in In- dianapolis. John Lynn Penrod is a basket- ball coach for South Side High School in Fort Wayne. David Hofstetter, having enjoyed chemis- try so much in his high school days, decid- ed to be a chemistry professor and was now a professor at Purdue University. Ernesta and Ernestine Hofstetter were op- erating a clothes shop for twins at In- dianapolis, Indiana. Pud Smith is now liv- ing on a farm in Idaho, raising Pud's Spuds. Arthur Ford became successor to the large Ford Co. in Detroit, Michigan. After having spent a few days with Miriam, a taxi then took me to Chicago's largest railway station, the Union Station, where Gerald Buckey is the chief ticket manager. As I entered the train which was bound for Fort Wayne, a nice looking young man, the conductor, came and asked me for my ticket. It seemed as though I had seen him before but I wasn't sure. When he took my ticket, he said, t'Aren't you Louise Neuenschwander? I said, Yes, I ought to know you but I can't seem to remember who you are. He said, Well I'm Clifford Umpleby, a former classmate. After having talked together awhile, I learned that Melvin Hart was the engineer on the train and had been work- ing here only about a month. On the way to Fort Wayne, the train stopped at various cities, one being South Bend where I noticed a large welding com- pany the name of which was R0binson's Welding Co., the conductor walked past me then, so I asked him who this Robinson was. He said, Well that's Eugene. Lit- tle had I realized in my school days that he would own so great a company as this one. At last I reached Fort Wayne and while I went down town to do some shop- ping, I noticed a cute little dress shop which had a sign and read t'Shop at Nel- lie's. I went in and just as I thought. Nell Affolder, another classmate, was the owner. As I was walking down the street, I noticed a sign on the Athletic Building which read, Don't Miss the Greatest Box- ing Contest of the Season. Kenneth Ellen- berger, a former Geneva graduate, was fighting Clement Garribald Sabasky. Of course Kenneth won! Then I returned to my duties at home after having spent a very pleasant time vacationing. Seventeen
