me on notes. ing, so I t Dear Greg, So how’s my little baby cuz doing? Ever since you moved to California, I haven’t heard from you. I don’t know why you moved there anyway, the only things out there arc palm trees and moonies. but I guess when you’re President of Paramount Pictures, you have to make some sacrifices. as The reason I wrote to you anyway, is because we have been given the privilege of organizing our 10th class reunion. Aren't we lucky? HA HA. So Write back with any information you ca ------------- our classmates and we can ci Okay? Love, your cuz, Trisha •. - v Dear Trisha. HhL I received your letter. Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to write me. One letter ever ten years isn't too bad. I realize being President of the Rula I enska fan club is very time consum-you again, to your request of informa-fellow classmates, I found «r has opened a classy high fashion boutique, a MB he’s named it the Feed Mill, what a strange name for a boutique. Oh wd, it must have some personal meaning. Good old Kevin Kelly is now Assistant Road Commissioner for Manlius Township, and just recently was allowed to rury hc road grader, by himself, for the first time But in case of any difficulties. his dad was right behind him in the pickup truck. 1 had some difficulty locating Rac Ann l.ough. It seems she has never lound that job she is suited for. But I contacted her, and found out she never married. She told me. “Why should I waste the money on a marriage license. And I'm sure you heard about the incident concerning David Graham. It was in all the papers. He had become a top commercial pilot and had a fine career, until one day when he flew over the green river and was overcome by tfic memory of his High School cars. Setting the Boeing 747 down by Tommy Dale’s bridge, he broke out the life rafts and shouted hysterically. “Let's gp floating! and so ending his brief career. .. Some Members of our class have come into some very interesting jobs, like Tom Bohms, Charlie White, Charles Hansen and Mat Sarber They have opened the first nude track and field complex in New Bedford, called Fast wood. The reason it’s nudist complex is because running nude can cut 3 seconds off your time. Well, that’s all I could find for you now. Please write back soon with , new on our class. By for now. Love, Greg. Kf Dear Greg, There is no need for any snide remarks about my acting career. You’re just mad because I wouldn't sign a contract with your stupid studio But enough about, that. I’ve received some more information on our other classmates, and I think find it interesting. I just heard of the sad plight of Matt Williams. He finally got fed up with everyone putting him down, so he decided he’s taken over the Farmer Dell spot for Randall’s Store commercials. I also called Kelli Tracey, and she said she could make it. She’s become a full-fledged veterinarian, and I hear she’s very good at it. Too bad she wasn’t around when Twinkic bit Matt. And talk about being good at your job, I got a hold of Judy Bourquin, and she’s so dedicated to her work, that she said he couldn't take off any time to come to thereupon. She said she is now on the production staff of Play- irl magazine, and must sit in on all phoqipcssidis. She didn't seem very upset about missing the reunion, but I guess work comes before pleasure. Well that’s all I know, please write back you hear anything clse.|5 E Love, Trish PS. — I hear your last film flopped. Dear Trisha, First of all I’ll have you know my last film was not a flop. It’s funny you should say that, seeing as my movie was based to lead an isolated life as a fur trapper; his only friend being a pet skunk named Twin-kie. But something terrible happened. Twinkie became rabid, and bit Matt. I’m sure you can guess the consequences. Yes, Twinkic died three days later, and poor Matt was left friendless again. I also got in touch with Gus Erickson. He’s bought a whole chain of Book Emporiums with the Grand Opening just last year. All except for the one in Champaign, which is still in the process of remodeling, to fix the holes in the wall. I’m sure you heard the wonderful news about Debbie DcBrock and Jim Fuhr, they received the Nobel Prize for their research of the effects of nuclear accidents. But unfortunately, neither one feels they should attend the reunion because of some strange ailments they received wnile working. Debbie’s hair is beginning to fall out, and Jim’s skin is turning green. Fred Lebahn confirmed that he will be there. He has just a few more commercials to tape, and then he’ll be done. It seems on your last Broadway Production. Anyway, about our class. I hear Laurie Sugars is doing very well for herself. She is now President of 1st National Bank of Wyanct. She also married her high school sweetheart, Pat Wood, and they now have a son named Red. General and Mrs. Wesley Anderson said they would be able to attend, but they will be late. It seems Wes has to deliver his lecture on proper care and display of dog tags to his enlisted men. I contacted Kathy and she told me she was supposed to work, but that hc would just call in sick. I received a letter from Barb the other day. It seems now that her children are getting older, she has time to take up a new career. She bought the Skute-O Rama in Princeton, and is doing very well. Her new gimmick for a attracting business is anyone wearing pom-poms on their skates gets in free. i Well, it’s getting late, and I’m pretty tired, so I think I’ll hit the sack. I swear I could sleep 24 hours if given the chance. Oh. that reminds me. The other mighty Oloffson. Tim, said he would be glad to attend as long as it didn’t start too early. It seems he’s still working hard at Barcol, and needs a lot of sleep. He said if he didn’t have to get up before 1:00 in the afternoon to get ready he’d be alright. Well. I really have to go. I hope you get in contact with more of our class Bye for now, Greg Dear Greg. I’m glad to hear that so many of our classmates are responding. I’ve gotten in touch with a few more, and thought I’d let you know what they said. I heard from Julia Wirth today. She seems very happy. She’s married to her high school sweetheart Tandy, and it seems they’ve opened up a rcstuarant together. They've decided to call it Stodge-hill’s Lodge, and with their backgrounds in rcstuarant management. I’m sure it will be a big sucQ Flhey've already hired their head waitress. Julia's old high school buddy, Kim Van Meter. Julia promised her good wages and working hours, and a two weeks paid vacation to go see Judy any tim Jbe wants. . ,:fV Julia may have a little competition, though, in the way of Julie Powers. Julie tbld me that she’s planning on taking over Sally’s Cafe, after she get's married, and renaming it l)ona van's Diner and Disco She says by day it will cater to the farming crowd, but at night, it will itirg into a swinging night spot for the younger gen-eration. And I’m sure you remember ( hr: Jacobson. Well it seems he’swRae Mp low a career in what he did best in riigh School. He has started his owq fcgsketball team called “Dr. J. and the FgggBusters”. After weeks of practice, he finally achieved his dream of replaying his old. arch-rivals the Depue Little Giants. After losing to them by 3 points so many times in High School, his dream finally came true. It was a low-scoring game, but he beat them 6-2-3. Well Greg, I don’t know anything more, write me back if you hear anything new. Love, Trisha Dear Trisha, Since I last wrote you, I did some more research on our old classmates and I found that Dean Craine has been made the youngest President of John Deere Inc. Dean told me that so far his biggest problem since being put at the head of the company, was whether to drive his Mercedes, or Firari to work, and whether he should take a cruise or fly around the world for his vacation next summer. Tough Life. Another corporate wizard of our class is Tom Linder. He is now president of Kory Industries. He has changed the basic line of production at Korys. and discontinued their line of wagon boxes. Instead, they’ve started making Frisbees. They arc still Kory Orange, and they have a picture pf Tom in the center. Tom always was very clever. I also contacted Lacth Neahring. He put all of his inginuity into starting a new business. He’s making personalized horns, for cars and trucks. I asked Laeth if people really liked the elaborate sound of his horns, and he told me yes, that most people say the hornier they arc, the better. I also heard from Pat DeBrock the other day. It seems that Pat has spent the last 10 Con't on pg. 24 19
