night on the old home place....and still be back in time for Mondays' morning session. They haven't any children but I heard Gene tell Lonnie they'd be glad to take the new nephew back with them. Gene gave me Cls.ra's address, when I phoned h:Lm. She was way out in Neb., so I had to write her....and I didn't know, even the morning of the gathering, whether she would be there or not. But in' she came...driving her own car too....a '7l4 Chevrolet. She didn't look a day, well, not much more than a day..older than when we graduated. And she was wearing a diamond big enough to put your eyes out. She's been teaching school in a smalltown out there for 12 years now....and the Banloer finally got up nerve enough to ask her. She says, she waited 12 years for him to ask her....now he can wait 12 months while she gets her hope chest completed. The whole class is invited to the wedding too...so maybe we'll meet again. John teaches music at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon...and he also sings every Wednesday night over WHT - TV. Nancy and I alwayssit spellbound by our TV set that night. This three dimension, color TV is so real that it's almost like he is here in the room with us... but when we unconsciously speak to him, he never answers...except to smile and sing another song. He's s busy man but he too took t:Lme to come. Rls wife teaches history at the college. They have an eight year old son and a five year old daughter, but they didn't have the children along. 'We needed a little relaxation away from those two , John said, five and eight, and already using a college vocabulary...and the questions they can askl' Allen,... well, it took some time to locate him. Ney that his fame :Lsn't known all over these parts and far beyond. But you never imow where he is going to be. It's been that way ever since he invented that contraption that changes the channel one TV set by one's thought waves. Tm device works wonderfully well when there is only one person in the room... but can be e terrible headache when there are several. He did manage to get here in time for dinner... landing :Ln his helicopter almost in n-out of the door. Allen is still s:Lngle...never had t:Lme .to do any cou:hting...too busy with his inventions...but now that he's always 'popping up in the news...he's getting proposals every day. While we were eating I heard Gene's voice: 'Say Allen, ca.n't you figure out some other way to control those darn things? Priss and I are always at odds about the program that we are going to listen to. Our brain waves clash when we get as ..close to the set as we can...then all we get is static. Sure I can settle that, said Allen. 'Just buy another set and be sure to put them in different rooms . 'Then you can use your brain power on one and she can use hers on the other. The only thing iss its too bad to waste that much brain power ln one evening . It did prove to be e nice get-together. When we turned out the lights that night Nancy turned to me and sad.d: You know, I'm glad I turned down that chance of becoming a model... it's much more fun on Sunday afternoons to take my easel and paint the beautiful scenery around here ...but tomorrow I am going to start a new picture. In fact, I'm going to paint two of them. I might even give one of them to Clara as a wedding present. The first one will be like our class back in l95S...a 'mmch of happy eager ld.ds...e.nd the other one like we are today... men and women typical of all America...twenty years older and maybe a little less cock-sure but wiser and more contented. I yawned. Yep, those would be some pictures! Say, Nancy, I just happened to think... Junior meant it when he said he was going to make the army his career so tht he could retire :Ln twenty years Qlucky dogl but he must have changed his mind about having only one date in a year....x-emember ???? Back in the good old days even a cute little 'trick' like Margo could not tempt him to have more than me. But surely that gorgeous red-head didn't marry him after only one date. If he didn't change his mind...he must have started courting her a long t:Lme ago. I guess she didn't think that remark was funny. Anyway all she said was: Go0d night, Jim. X U xy, Y? bf I .
