Your mother told me about George being interviewed over your station . General George Booher ---- what a title. They tell me the gold braid on his shoulder has made him rather snobbish. Well now if we can get him and that movie star wife of his to condescend to join us commoners all will be fine. Always did want to meet her anyway. Ginny QVirginia Collins! Was looking rather thin when she was here this winter visiting her parents. It isn't any wonder though with those four children and trying to keep up her work, too. I do enjoy her comic strip which she draws for that syndicate. Sometimes I think she draws some of us into it, but then I never can be certain. Your Mother told me you and your wife had danced to Ginny's husband's band. Now tell me, is he really as good as she claims ? And do they really own that beautiful home out there? She' always showing pictures of it. Maybe Liz and jim QPinegarj will drive up from the valley for the reunion-- that is if their ranch hands aren't acting up again. We hear they had quite a time after they were here two years ago for a visit. Seems like the help had been having wild parties in their absence and nearly wrecked the place. Well, Dale it's time for me to do some work for the boss. And speaking of the boss--you remember his son? I've been looking at him through rose- colored glasses for some time now. But I don't need to use a magnifying glass to see the stone in the ring he gave me. It's all of twocarats and really lights up the place. Remember when the local company put those large signs up on the highway the year we graduated? Never did I ever dream I'd be a private secretary and some day marry the boss's son. They just repainted them the other day, but they still read: Grimes---the home of Beaver Valley Canning Company-H one of the largest canning companies in Iowa. The old place has really grown since then, when the census read 650. Wonder what it will be when they read it this year? Two thousand, perhaps more. And no one's prouder of this growing town than our Mayor, Lowell Fullmerl Maybe we can persuade him to forget politics. 0-Ie's considering running for governor next term., It would sure be swell if he would come to our reunion. Wouldn't that be fun! Let me know what you think, huh? .
