another married classmate, Ruth Deese. Anna Gene Efird is the company’s buyer and public relations director. Patricia Harris’s furniture store is sponsoring a new advertising campaign dreamed up by her husband. Jerry Brady sleeps in the window of the store on a Beauty Rest mattress all day! I hear no complaints from Jerry! Driving her cross-country trucks are Lynville Phillips and Bryant Womble. Bobbie Pickett is in Cuba as a missionary now; but she is making a special trip home for our reunion. Carolyn Poe was recently named the grandmother of the year. She now has 10 grandchildren! ! Frances Rogers, now a famous comedienne, is appear- ing weekly on the Grand Ol’ Oprey in the place of Minnie Pearl; and she has just announced her engage- ment to Rod Brassfield! Betty Jo Harris now owns several shares in Roses’ 5 and 10 Cent Store. Everyone thought she would even- tually move up to this position. As for myself, I gave up my secretarial position sev- eral years ago for the role of “just” a housewife and mother of three! So you see, Jerry, the seniors of 1958 were pretty exceptional each in his own way. There are some who have already made a success of their lives; others who soon will; and still others who measure success in sim- ple terms of happiness. I’m sure everyone is looking forward to our reunion. Won’t it be fun to “hash over” those good ol’ days?
