Dear Diary, May 19, 1960 I had to smile when I looked at my calendar this morning. Could you be- lieve it? Ten years have passed since my senior year in high school. And, my, what time has done to my classmates! Why, Clara Adams really married Harry Finch, and stayed right here in Hickman. And who would have believed that someday Bobby Aldridge and Frank Werner would be joint owners in the biggest drug store in town. 1 can truly say one thing, I’m sure glad Barbara Beal succeeded in making a famous dress designer for she suites my taste to a “T . Today,1 met Charlotte Ann Council in town.I always love to talk to “Red , you know she has become a big Church worker and has helped our town and children a great deal. To my surprise, yesterday, I read in the paper wheremy oldclassmate Allen Owens, who is now a famous scientist has invented something which has made the atom bomb look sick. Yesterday, my twins’, Kent and Steve, teacher, Miss Lovetta Harrison, called me again. This means another trip to school. It seems that Kent can’t stop admiring the fine work Jim Grady is doing inhis comic strip. While Steve spends all his time keeping up with Herman Lattus, that professional ball player that is on top now. After I talked totheir teacher,I wentto see the superintendent, Bobby Coch- rum. But I found him busy talking to Wayne Stoker, who is quite a busy man nowadays making speeches in all the schools. And he used to be bashful! Ha! Yesterday, I called the show manager but got his wife, Patricia Pinkston (so her name used to be). I asked her who was on tomorrow and who should she say but Pat Stahr who has taken over Esther Williams place so nicely. Not only that, but they were showing picture of “Miss America of I960” who by the way is Janeth McNeill. Today in Lois Brockwell’s Beauty Shop I heard that Mrs. Billy Joe James, who in the old days was Nancy Barry, has a new little girl. And Peggy Rudolph, who is now a telephone operator, has a new Ford. My, but she’s waitedalong time for it! After I left the beauty shop, my husband drove the twins and I downtown in our new maroon Ford to the new dentist, Thomas McClellan, for a check-up. This morning, when I answered the door bell, who should I see but Harry Darnell who is now a traveling salesman. Harry said he just had been through town and now on one of the office doors was “Pickett’s Accounting Office ” and wanted to know if that was Terry. And I told him yes. Well, 1 guess I’d better stop writing for today for my husband will be home for supper soon, which reminds me, I have a date to meet Mrs. Robert Pair, better known as Mary Elizabeth Harrison, at the drug store and get that pre- scription filled that Dr. Judy Trusty gave to me. And I’ll go by David Speed’s Grocery Store and see why they haven’t delivered my meat. Oh, there is the insurance man, Harold King, at the door. Well, bye, Diary, until I write to you again.
