 Bidc-A-Wcc Hotel 2913 Fifth Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, June 19, 19 'i Dear Milly: ou cant imagine how glad we were to receive your letter and how sorry we were that we were not at home when you came to visit us. Your letter was very interesting because we hadn’t realized how many of our classmates arc achieving fame and in only six years after we graduated, too! Maybe we can tell you about some of the ones you didn’t mention in your letter. There's Robert Crater for instance. Of course you've heard how well he's succeeded along the artistic lines. He’s been painting portraits of movie actresses in Hollywood. And Marion Johnson is here in Cleveland. He’s one of the operators at Keith’s Palace. We had a letter from Willis Roc the other day. He is an aviator. He told us that he had flown to l.os Angeles recently where he had seen Carl Lyons and Thelma Neighbor in an act at Keith s Pa'ace. They’re two of the best comedians on their regular circuit. 1 guess you re wondering why we weren't at the hotel when you were over. You see we had heard that Eugene Thompson was to hold Evangelistic meetings at the M. E. church at Newcomerstown and we couldn’t miss hearing him. He’s really quite wonderful. While we were home we saw Frances and Rachel Crater. Frances married Howard Jones shortly after graduation and Rachel is a stenographer at the Heller Brothers Company. Rachel told us that Bernice Brown and Glenn Stewart were married last year and have started a poultry farm south of Newcomerstown Hazel HufT and Harold Marlatt are married too, and are living in the old home town. While we were home, we walked down Canal Street and what should we see bu a sign saying “MATILDA MURPHY—PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON.” We thought since we were there we might as well drop in and talk to “Tilly”. Inside another surprise awaited us. There was Izola Hannahs as Dr. Murphy’s efficient nurse. Ma tibia told us that Mildred Oaklief and Florence Folkcrt arc teaching in the new kindergarten at home, and John Callentinc and Robert Lee have gone to Wisconsin where they have important positions in the steel mills. She also told' that Verna Allen is married and is living in Toledo and that Frederic Loader is occupying a high position with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. So when we think of the great athletic coach of Cornell and realize that it is Ike Hayes, and when we remember that Jack Kirby is enthralling large audiences with his saxaphone numbers, and that Arthur 1 ufford is sports editor of the Pittsburgh Post, we can't help feeling just a little bit proud that we’re members of the Class of '29. And we’re glad, Milly, that you like your work so well. You know it isn’t every one who can become a Spanish interprctc at a Customs House. With love, Hazel and Ginny Mae. 26
