Betty has been married five years to a promising young attorney. Now, we're on our way home and passing the new First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. we notice on the neon sign that the pas- tor is the one and only Carl Crenshaw, Jr., our friend back in '49. He and his lovely young wife live in the elaborate parscnage on Oak Cliff Drive. let's go on down to Houston and take a cruise. My, my, what a beautiful luxury Liner!! What!!!!

Well, he started out young for such e position as that!! An old friend of Marie Witvliet told me she had gone to Holland several years ago to visit her relatives and didn't come back!! She is happily married to a dairyman there in Holland. Maybe she will come back soon to visit us!! I can't leave you all without mentioning Martha Grace McCluney! She's the sweet little brunette that used to talk all the time in our English class! Remember?? She is now composing her words into books, as she is one of the most famous novel writers!!!
