Cam POP QC Dearest Mother: Today has been one of the happiest of my life, so I thought I would write and tell you about it while the news is fresh in mind. As you know, I had arranged for my entire graduating class to have a reunion at my home here on the farm today. Well, at 10:00 a.m. I had the house cleaned and ready for my guests. It ,was a little hard to get all four bedrooms and both baths cleaned, as jimmy and Lynnette didn't want to get up so early, but I managed. At 11:00 a.m. a sleek Chrysler New Yorker drove in the yard and a very dis- tinguished gentleman emerged from it. It was Kenneth Bates who had become quite a success in the field of Interior Decoration. He was just coming into the house when a private plane, which had been circling overhead, decided to land in the hay field behind the house. It was Rita Bates who flew in from Paris where she is a designer of women's hats. From then on, my guests arrived in a steady stream. Carolyn Boyer, who is now Mrs. Romaker, and George Brink arrived next. George was driving through town in his racing car from Indianapolis when he saw Carolyn leaving her beauty shop, so he picked her up and gave her a very thrilling ride. A brand new Ford Thunderbird was next on the scene, and in it was the manager of the Ford. Plant at Detroit, Michigan, Cliff Charlton, and his private secretary, Velma Deffenbaugh. They are to be married soon, after ten years of trying to make up their minds. A farm truck drove in and David Ricard and his wife, the former Eunice Creps were in it. They have ten thousand chickens and two children. My next guest was someone who had become what all of us had predicted he would. It was Mr. America of 1964, Jack Eckert. I-Ie is now managing the Globe Trotters. He brought Abel Perez with him as he is an assistant manager of the team. Abel says it is a lot of fun and he gets to see the world. He is still a bachelor and I have concluded that it is because he wants all that money for himself. I X ' fy f

.Q-s Coming directly to my home from Carnegie Hall in New York, where she is appearing, was JoAnn Faler. She arrived in a rather odd manner, but she says that she likes to ride in helicopters and it does save parking space. Raymond Goris was next to arrive, coming by taxi to my home from the airport where he had flown from his farm in Kansas. He is married and has two children. Nearly all of my guests had been no surprise to me until John Herringshaw ar- rived. He is better known as the Bouncing Butterball for he is a wrestler. Star reporter from the New York Times, Barbara Huffine, was next to arrive. She is engaged to marry the editor in the fall. Tom Oster and Kathleen Klippel came together as they are both at work in Michigan. Tom is designing cars for the future Cadillac and Kathy is Working in the chemical lab at Ann Arbor. Tom is the most eligible bachelor around, since Stewart Granger got married. I wasn't too sure if Henry Krebs could come or not, but he made it. He is Lt. Governor of Ohio. Next came petite little Beverly McCone. She is a cartoonist for the Toledo Blade. I wonder if she will ever catch a man for herself, The great mathematician from the U. S. Treasury Dept. was my next guest. I am speaking of Paul Mahnen. He brought his whole family along and who should turn out to be his butler, but Robert Vetter. Home Economist, Miriam Rood, appeared next. She has her own TV show in the afternoon. Last but not least came the redhead that we all like so well. Lt. Lois Stimmel. She joined the Waves and luckily she was able to get a leave for the occasion. The children gave them a tour of the farm. It was a wonderful day and all en- joyed themselves reminiscing. I must close now and grade some papers as tomorrow will be another day of teaching for me. Lovingly yours, coRR1NE. sq .W ..21...
