The only line available at the field was the Rosbrugh Air Line, The pilot of the ship was my old friend, Leon Rathbun, I always have to talk to the driver, As the rocket speeded toward Washington, I turned on the television set just in time to see junior Method sign off, He has his own show on the air now, At Washington the President's personal secretary met me, She introduced herself as Ruth Klopenstein, We were talking about old times at Leesburg, when the taxi driver turned around, Who else could it be except Max Noel, He was driving the taxi for practice for his big Hot Rod race that evening, We joined the President at Babe Ruth's fLursenl restaurant, Featured on the stage for the evening was the famous dancer, Dewey Dye, When the comedian came on the stage we were all flabbergasted, Out came Kent Brown going through the craziest acts I had ever seen, His fame had become world known--he's the sarne clown that he was in 1950. The next day I hopped into my little airplane and headed for Leesburg, The town, to my surprise, had flourished in the oyster business, Yes, oysters: While Bill Dausman and Vanator were fishing one day on the lake, they discovered them quite by accident, They are now business partners thriving on oysters, Miss Catherine Marvel, the society pacer in Leesburg, has just purchased a string of pearls from them, Catherine asked me to tea at her home on Plum Boulevard, where she had another guest, Marilyn Loher, the great Hawaiin Guitar player, I learned she had spent the past ten years in Hawaii studying, I stopped in at the Hummel farm on the outskirts of Leesburg to speak with Marvin before I left for California, He now owns a number of farms around the State, In California, my assignment was to interview the owner of a newly founded gold mine there, The wife of the miner was Anna Shively, She was going to the Rose Bowl to see Bob Ververda play and invited me to join her, Bob is now the coach of the most powerful football team in the country--the Oswego Giant Midgets, By this time, it was time for me to get back to my office in New York, I took the nearest subway--got off at Times Square--and am now writing an account of the Senior Class of 1950, ten short, but mighty, years ago, I5
