recognized by Shannon. He told us all about his life during the past years and invited me to lunch with him the next noon. I agreed to come, and so the evening went on till I thought I had better go to my room. The next day when I met Shannon for lunch he had a woman with him whom I discovered to be Margaret Lanning. We went on to lurlch in a cafeteria called The Baker. I remarked that the name reminded me of Evelyn Baker, and was very surprised to discover that she was the Evelyn Baker we all knew. However her name was no longer Baker. She and that the East Women's to be in- a lecture crowded. said she had been married since the war ended Pete and she were living comfortably over on Side. After lunch we left Evelyn and went to a Club meeting which Margaret said was going teresting even to us men because it was to be by Senator Carter of Illinois. The building was We were able to find a seat close to the front. When the Senator was introduced it tumed out to be none other than, Barbara Carter still telling everyone that a Federal World Govemment should be established. We listened and after she had finished, we went up and congratulated her. Then I told her that I still didn't believe some of the points she brought out and we had a short debate right there. I went back to my hotel and stayed till it was time for me to attend the convention I had come all the way to Illinois to attend. I got ready and left in plenty of time. I started across the street so as to be on the right side to board the street car, when all of a sudden I was hit very hard by something. I didn't know anything till I woke up in a hospital with Dr. Flack. Wes, the Donald Ray Flack of Iacksonl bending over me asking me how I was feeling. He then called the nurse to give her full instructions as to what I would need. When she opened the door, I knew at a glance that it was Geraldine Copsey. She recognized me, too. She told me that she had heard that I was hit by a bus driven by Eugene Dooley. When he dropped in a few days later and apologized, I decided I would net compel or even ask him to pay the cost, but he insisted, so was I to argue about this. Dr. Flack dropped in to see me everyday or so and with Gera1dine's help I was soon ready to leave the hospital. I then decided that I would leave this town and come back to Ohio, as I believed it much safer here. I got on a train this time because they usually followed the track and I didn't want to get thrown into anymore women's laps even though I was glad to see Zola. When I arrived back in Fostoria I heard a voice that sounded like one I had heard before. The man was yelling Taxi! Taxi! I soon recognized it was Doyle McI'Iaffie. He was now driving the taxi for the Hays Hotel. They had asked him because he had told them he had driven the same Ford for ten years. And surely enough when we got to the hotel there was the old Ford, the same one he had in 43. Doyle told me that Leonard Watson was still out on the farm. I decided right then I would go over and see him again. When I arrived in the neighborhood where he had lived, all I could see was a big airport. I stopped at the first farm and asked just where Leonard lived. The man told me the airport was his. Well, I could hardly wait to get back there. I went up and found no other than Evelyn Wolf as his secretary. The information she had gotten in aeronautics class had helped her very much. She told me to go back through the hangar, so I did. I saw a man bending over a motor that had been taken from a plane. I went up and tapped him on the shoulder to inquire where I could find Leonard. When he tumed around, to my surprise, it was Leonard Watson. There was a little restaurant out nearer the field. As I was hungry, I decided to go out and get something to eat. I stepped inside and who should I see behind the counter but Isabell Stull. Of course the last name was Greenlee now. She said that her husband was a mechanic in the Watson Airport. She had been in the Restaurant business only one year as she had been busy raising a family of twin girls that were a year and a half old. I congratulated her and ran out on the field to see a big transport come in. The first person to get off was a big boy, whom I didn't know at first. But as he came toward me I saw Don Smith, who was visiting his folks. For the past six years Don has been pitching for the Detroit Tigers, and they have won every game. Don likes his work very much. He got the job just to eam enough money to go to college to prepare to become a basketball coach. However they had persuad- ed him to keep pitching for the team. Also on the same plane was Captain Iohn Meszaros of the Coast Guard. He had remained in the Coast Guard until just today. Now he was back in Fostoria ,to stay. Then I got in my car and started home. My car began to get warm when I was about half way home, so I had to stop at a farm house and get some water. The man I found here was Bernard Fox. He was farming with his horses and had iust come in to do his milking. We went to the bam, as I had decided to stay at Bemard's request. When we got to the bam, Bernard's wife and boy already had the cows in and were milking. I visited for about an hour when I thought I had better be heading home. lust then I was awakened from this wonderful dream by Betty King who was hitting me on the arm asking me what I was doing on the floor. I told her about my dream and some- how it must have happened while I was hit by the bus. She asked me if I had the class prophecy written yet, and I was just ready to tell her no when I happened to think of my dream and how everybody appeared In it. She asked me what I had dreamed about her. I hadn't dreamed a thing. I told her that we would gaze into the crystal ball for her future. I saw the city of Iler a much, much bigger city. Betty's husband was nmning a big hotel, that had been the former Keller property. Helen Keller had built it and put Betty and her husband in charge. Betty was the Bookkeeper. I asked her how she came to be in my house. She said she saw me on the floor and thought I was dead, so she ran In to make sure.
