I' CLASS PROPI-IECY or 1940 Geneva, Switzerland March 5, 1955 Dear Ebert, I landed that job and I am in Geneva now, acting as secretary to Frank Feckley, who, as you know, was recently elected U. S. representative to the World Federation. We crossed the Atlantic in one of those new superfliners designed by Raymond Varisco and just put into operation by Grimes Air Lines. The first session yesterday was attended by representatives from practically every civilized country in the world. The representative from Belgian Congo, with whom I was talking, surprised me by speak' ing of Bob Reuman who is in charge of all U. S. Missions in that section of Africa It seems that Bob captured some rare animals which he sent to the Buck Horton Cir- cus. Nellie Snyder, Margaret Sharps and Ruth Brine, the noted acrobats, are working for Buck now as are Gerald Gienke, the sword swallower, and Princess Dale Yaekle, the hypnotist. This fellow also spoke of Bill Orban, who is in Africa at this time searching for rare plants which he sends to his sister, Irene. Irene certainly did the world a service when she invented the seedless watermelon. We stopped in Paris on our way to Geneva as I have always wanted to see a night club. You can imagine my amazement, when upon entering one of the swankiest of cafes, I was greeted by Dale Bachtell. Dale informed me that he was headwaiter there and took us to Tom Palmer and Boyd Berry, who owned the establishment. The greatest surprise came, however, when I saw Mademoisel Eleaner Humphreys and her dancing troupe, which included Betty Shirey and Virginia Shelke, not to mention many other petite French mademoiselles. Sorry I haven't time for more, old man, but Frank and I have a dinner engagement with U. S. Ambassador to France, Ruth Leidig, and her secretary, Betty Hostetler. Your pal, Bob Kindig Medina, Ohio March 15, 1955 Dear Bob: Congratulations on the job! I hope you spend most of your time in Geneva, as Paris is a poor place to start a diplomatic career. I was interested to hear about some of our old classmates. I can tell about a few more of them. fContinued on Page Sixty'Fivej Eighteen lvl' - ,K ' ,r , . U -K R , , .,' , -,, 'f , ,'J,,' ,, ,-' .
