I notrced a n1ce lookmg woman 1n unlform trymg to get my attentlon ln the corner of the alr port rece1v1ng stat1on As we came closerl saw that rt was Lee Hannon Lee was a mall woman ln charge of br1ng1ng the mall 1n from other planets Well, she always had been interested rn males when we were 1n high school Lee told me what mrsfortune had befallen poor Ray McCarthy It really was a shame because Ray worked very hard when he landed to get a good Job on the moon He was an accountant and such books th1s boy could keep! The only thing wrong was that Ray worked 1n a prlson there but suddenly no one was ever bad All the cells stood empty, so the government had to close rt down Poor Ray! When I left Lee I declded maybe I should go to church and say a prayer for Ray The church was somewhat darker than lt was outside, so I couldn t see when I f1rst entered From the front someone was saylng, Is that you, Sally? Imag1ne after all these years! A f1gure came toward me and Iwas rackmg my bram to place the fam1l1ar vo1ce At last my eyes focused and Isaw be fore me Whrtey better known ln other crrcles as Dav1d Klnsl ey! Dave or Reverend Klnsleywas pastor of the largest church on Mars Hrs parish was very wealthy and Wh1tey was very happy When I explamed why I had come into the church Whltey told me that he had heard of Ray s troubles and had hired hmm for his own personal accountant Whitey told me what had happened to two of my other classmates In lme w1th hrs customary efforts to aim higher, as dlsplayed during those excltmg basketball games rn hlgh school Dav1d seemed to be concentrated on the stars which he studled avrdly wrth the rntentlon of becommg a future authorlty on astronomy Asslstrng Dav1d, and attemptlng to set h1m stralght when necessary was a former hrgh school buddy who was always on hand when Dave needed a partner The concluslon had been drawn that heavy 1ntellectual pursuits had agreed w1th Paul Rzasa, Judgmg from hrs corpulent bulk so unllke the lanky lad of the late f1ft1es In touring the Mart1an c1ty I slghted a beautiful new factory way up on a hill A sllght 1n vestigatlon told me that it belonged to two men by the names of Laurl Katvala and Russell Lawrence These two brxght lads had put the1r heads together when th1s new terrltory had been opened up and they had come up with a marvelous 1nvent1on turkeys made by machme, dead, cleaned and with no feathers at all Of course these fellows had a thrivmg business because they never had to buy grain, repalr turkey pens, or any thing else that ordinary farmers always had to do It took only two men to operate the entire factory one to feed the machrne and another to put the fln'shed turkeys lnto the boxes at the other end I always knew we had some orlglnallty 1n the class of 57 The only person I hadn't found wh1le on my trip was DebbyCobb Iinquired at the local lnformatlon center as to her whereabouts Miss Cobb was the proud owner of Celestlal Race Track She started out w1th only one horse, Lady Dancer, and had won so many races that the race track couldn t pay off any more and was obliged to make over the property in payment to Debby, with no strings attached Debby was one of the wealthiest individuals in the universe now, and most of her money was spent on her horses She was still single but many men were trying to marry her The trouble was that she wasn t sure whether lt was for her money, or her natural charms I grew slowly aware of a growing light and the sound of birds in the distance Slowly they came nearer and nearer to me Suddenly the feeling of lying in bed came over me and I quickly opened my eyes, sitting up wrth a start I remembered my dream but wondered why I should dream about the Moon, when a smell of Llmburger cheese became very apparent to my delicate 'lose Ah yes the Moon is made of green cheese, so they say Sally Sewall - - - - n - - u l I I I 1 ' ' ' . .
