Prophecy June 7, 1967 Dear Jean, Gee, how time has flown since we finished high school. Seems no time at all since Miss Press was telling you to watch that temper! You must be enjoying your travels since your husband joined the Harlem Globetrotters. I hear he’s even up for manager of the Trotters next year. Is that true? Have you kept in touch with many of our classmates since graduation? I saw Martha Randolph the other day. Married now , she is quite busy with her brood. There were six at the last count, I believe. Martha told me Betty Parker is now a professor at Duke University, teaching school- spirit. Jimmy Perry is chief warden for a boys’ reform school. His motto is .. .put off to¬ day what you can do tomorrow. Jean, you remember Aubrey White and Johnson Haley. Well, Aubrey is now count¬ ing the 1, 2’s for Lawrence Welk and Johnson is giving voice lessons. I saw a school paper from our alma mater the other day. It seems that Harry Batkins is now giving driving lessons to school children. Other news was Gary Richardson. Gary, a science teacher at New Kent, was having a chemistry experiment when the right side of the building blew up. They think he mixed the wrong chemicals. Barbara Ashley was recently married. After being a first-grade teacher for five years, I guess she thought it was time for a change. I saw Steve Renalds not long ago. He said he was leaving for France the following week to visit one of our former classmates. He told me Jackie Anderson had a growing business with his original car model, Goodspeed. Jean, I heard that Frances Hawkins is now traveling through the Western States. I understand she will return to Virginia soon with her new husband. Sandra Morris and Lin Smith are both residents of the growing community of New Kent. Sandra is now a prominent housewife in the county and Lin is postmaster. The other day Lin got a parcel too large to handle. It was a pink elephant from his Africa- exploring friend, Gratton Stephens. I hear Patty Boroughs is topping all records for this country in the Olympics. I know you remember Billy Richardson. At present, he is a promising young lawyer, residing in Washington, D. C. He is secretary to the Secretary of Labor, trying to avoid labor himself. Mrs. Richardson, nee Miss Loretta Oates, is his secretary. Billy Bowery and Charles Mullen are doing very well. Billy has a high position in New York at Macy ' s. I understand he is playing Santa Claus. I always knew he liked children. Charles organized a Lonely Hearts Club soon after his completion of high school. Well, Jean, my husband is calling me to prepare his dinner, so I shall close for now. Do write to me. Your ' 57 classmate, Marie
