My next stop was at the city library. I was sur- prised to see that Faye Eiselen had replaced Mrs. Thompson as librarian. When I found her, she was counting all the money she had received that week from overdue books, and she looked quite happy. She said that it was just enough for a trip to Cathay for some new books, but it looked to me like books were the last thing on her mind. I had lost my travelers checks when my horse threw me, so I went to the bank to have them replaced. I was waited on by Jason Winter, who had inherited the business from his father-in-law. He was very flustered, because he had just found out that his wife, Linda, was going to have triplets. I tried to console him, but then he broke down and told me about the ,other two sets of triplets he and Linda already had! When I went to the airport to catch the next plane out, I found Dean Hieb, who had his own private airline. It seemed that Hurdsfield was still full of pretty girls, so Dean, out of the goodness of his heart, operated an airline between Goodrich and Hurdsfield for underprivileged Goodrich boys whose fathers wouldn't let them use the car. My plane stopped in Wichita, Kansas. The first thing I noticed as we were coming in for the lan- ding, was a huge circus tent. I went there right away and found that Steven Hawley was the ringmaster. He was cracking his whip, and urging everyone to come and see Dorinda, the tightrope walker. Sure enough, it was good ole' Dorinda Dockter. Her favorite trick was to ride a unicycle backwards across the tightrope while balancing a glass of water on her nose. It turned out that Steve and Dorinda were going to be married soon. They planned to have a whole bunch of little clowns, and start their own circus! When I arrived in Chicago, I was told that the Chicago Bulls would be playing there that af- ternoon. The first Woman player in the history of professional basketball would be making her debut. As I took my seat in the auditorium, I saw a tall blonde come charging down the floor and make three successive baskets. She turned around, and lo and behold! it was Nell Schmidt! I was told by the man sitting next to me that Nell's only drawback was that she had a chronic case of dry lips. However, this problem could usually be temporarily solved by a certain water boy by the name of Terry Mertz. I talked to Terry after the game, and he told me that in addition to being Nell's personal waterboy,he hada partftime job as an undertaker's assistant. He was earning money for a new car, because Abbey, after 14 years of faithful service, had finally been carted away to the junkyard. When I got to Sioux City, Iowa, I took a tour through the Foremost Research Center. The last room I was shown housed the mad scientist, Garvin Schneider. Garvin was working day and night to develop a miniature cow, and took time out only for milk breaks. The miniature cows were to be taken along on the next flight to Mars, so the astronauts X would have fresh dairy products at all times. New York City was next on my list. I got there just in time to see Cheryl Helmann win the women's world championship wrestling title. She beat her opponent in the first round. Now she would take a world tour with her husband, Mad-Dog Vashon, otherwise known as Jack Cooper. I stopped off at Carnegie Hall, and there found Debra Felchle, the world-famous opera star. She was appearing with Richard Tucker. Debbie held the world record for holding a high C for exactly 7 minutes and 23 seconds. As I was reading the New York Times in my hotel that evening, the sports headlines screamed at me, World Series Umpire Attacked By Angry Baseball Player. I didn't stop to read the rest, but rushed to the hospital to visit Blair Konschak. He could hardly talk, since he was in a cast from head to toe, but I did find out what had happened. Blair had ruled a player out, and the whole team rushed at him shouting, Kill the umpire! They had nearly managed to do just that. In Washington, D.C., I pulled a few strings and was granted a private interview with the President and Vice-President of the United States, Terrance Mauch and Kathy Mindt, respectively. Terrance was, at that moment, trying to get Congress to pass a new Prohibition Bill, and Kathy backed him all the way. Because of Kathy's great diplomatic talent, she was going to present the bill to Congress herself. This was Terrance and Kathy's second term together, and they had proved to be a most excellent team. I didn't want to miss the Kentucky Derby, so away I went. I had heard that Darrell Harmman had made the finals! The crowd went wild as soon as the race began. There he was-No. 37! He stayed neck to neck with No. 18 until the finalround. Then he spurted ahead to cross the finish line first. Well, well! Darrell had won the Kentucky Derby-on a swayback horse! The big attraction at Nashville, Tennessee was the rock fest, which had just begun. The first group to perform was the Greasy Spoon, featuring Frank Washnieski as drummer, and Robert Demke as lead singer. Frank had finally been allowed to let his hair grow down over his shoulders, and the small part of his face I could see looked very happy. Robert had turned into a bass, and his favorite song was a jazzed-up version of Asleep in the Deep. In Atlantic City, the Miss America pageant was drawing to a close. The whole city was talking about an exotic beauty from North Dakota who was sure to get the title, but nobody knew her name. It turned out to be Brenda Seibel! She was a tall, blue- eyed brunette, who fluttered her eyelashes a lot. For her talent presentation she did ballet, and it was no surprise to me when she was crowned Miss America. My two months were up, and I had to go back to my job. I was glad that each of the members of the Class of 1971 had reached success.
