NORMAN: I have an operation scheduled in Michigan, so I've decided to go on up to Interlochen and see my old friend JIM ABNEY with JO ANN. JO ANN: Do you like being a journalist, JUDY? JUDY: I love it. It's lots of fun getting all the big scoops before the rest of the world does. Just this morning I heard that BARNEY FOX, an ambassador to France, talked the French Premier into changing the national drink from wine, in order to get rid of our surplus, to American moonshine. And did you know that BILLY STROUD is really in demand for his accounting ability? After the way he flur1ked math, you would never believe it.

ANN BRIT- TAIN is a surgical nurse now, and PAT BRONSON is working with Doctor LEE GARDENOUR, CAR- OLYN GANDEE is a pediatrician and MIRIAM HAMRIC is a dietitian. Some of the other girls were BEVERLY I-IARNISH, now an assistant to Chiro- practor RICHARD FISHER, and SALLY DORSEY, a laboratory technician. JO ANN: NORMAN, we had better catch our train. JUDY: I was assigned to cover the convention but I wasnit planning on leaving until tomorrow. NORMAN: Why don't you go with us today? We can talk over old times on the train. JUDY: All right, that would be fun. Iill get my things and meet you at the station. LATER ON THE TRAIN . . . JUDY: It sture is great being all together again. It's just like old times.

JUDY: On my recent Visit to California, I covered the annual Magazine Publishers' Convention. NORMAN: Aren't you one of the publishers for Mad magazine, JUDY? W JUDY: Yes, but getting back to the convention, I saw GARRETT OSBORNE, a writer for Playboy, and RICHARD PAVICK, a big newspaper editor. I walked into Cirois and who should serve me but ROSEMARY PATANELLA. I stayed in the Sleep Easy Hotel, where they had all rooms equipped with Sealy mattresses. What a night's sleep I had. NORMAN: Speaking of Sealymattresses, did you know that DON NORMAN demonstrates Sealy at the home office in New York? JUDY: No, but in the morning, before I left the hotel, I rang to have my bags taken downstairs and the bellhop turned out to be BARRY OLSON.

I arrived at the new depot, designed by BRYANT ROBERTS and constructed by CHARLES LITTLE. My old friend, DOT SPENCER, the socialite of Melbourne, arrived in her Caddy and dragged me to one of her afternoon cocktail parties. As I arrived, PAT HINES, the maid, took my coat.
