Everyone is glued to his radio to hear the new singing sensation, Lester Reed, on his own program, Whistling Reeds. Rebecca Walker is giving a command performance of the ballet, Feather Dance, for the King and Queen of Lower Slobovia. Nancy Coffey, you remember her, we used to call her Nancy Coffee, isinEgypt looking for mummies for the John Day museum. It seems Donna Cummins has the position of speech instructor at Grant Union. The other day Audrey Johnson was dancing on the bar of the Last Chance Saloon, which she and her husband, Oliver Keerins, run. Irvin Daniels has departed from this earth and is handling his own case based on the training he got from commerical law. Dolores Petersen is in business selling Home Brew to the faculty of GUHS.

Alva Conlee and Bob Trafton, stars of the Alcatraz basketball team, will not be allowed to play as they are in solitary confinement for trying to steal warden Ray Browning's watch. Dee Conlee, the hair pin millionaire, has scheduled a trip around the world, but he and his chauffeur, Rich Craven, are seen for the fifth day at the base of Canyon mountain, unable to climb it. Bill Mosman, after retiring from professional basketball with a batting ave rage of 003, is now training to be a quacktician. Fightn'Ed Palmer of the Liquidated Press is writing another editorial on Crime Prevention to be printed in the Green Mountain Sparrow. Bob Riderhas just returned from Pongo Pacowhere he has beenmaking his latest Tarzan picture. Ron Ricketts is getting his 7th divorce and is handling his own case because he does not think the Kern method is positive. Well, I believe that this covers everything that you have written to me in the past 35 years so now I will close and hope that I'll hear from you in at least the next 20 years. Gurgleing Yours, Mike McArdle 12
