They lived on a farm near Hickory. She spent most of her time dressmaking. Besides being a dress- maker, she managed her house and kept her stepchildren in order. She had the reputation of being one of the best housekeepers in Catawba County. As for Kathleen Knox, Ray told me she had a charming home in Winston-Salem. Her hus- band was a very successful carpenter. She had many beautiful novelties and nice furniture made by her husband in her attractive home. She and her husband were very economical and had saved a comfortable sum for their old age. Hattie Mae Thames, he told me, had a millinery shop in Durham and traded with the deaf. She had never married and lived with her aunt on Duke Drive. She drove a 1950 model Buick around Durham and, to all appearances, she was both prosperous and happy. I enjoyed hearing about my classmates. I bade goodbye to Ray and went home thinking that I would like to see all of them. Hearing of the success and happiness of my former class- mates, I determined to get married after spending fifteen years as a bachelor and began to search for a nice and attractive girl. At last I got a wife and lived happily and peacefully in a humble home of my own.

WINECOFF FTER graduating from the North Caro- A lina School for the Deaf, I went to col- lege for several years. While in Wash- ington, I met Mr. Weynburg who offered me a position as a linotype operator in his printing office in San Francisco. I accepted the offer and immediately left college to go to work there. I was pleased with my job and my surroundings and made many good friends among the deaf and hearing people of that city. After working in California for fifteen years, I became homesick and determined to return to the Old North State once mre. Having accumulated some money, I returned to North Carolina and opened a small printing establish- ment of my own in Greensboro. Many friends whom I had not seen for years came to see me and congratulated me for my success. With their patronage and that of others, I managed to make a good living in my native state. One day I went to Lexington, North Carolina on some business. While waiting in my car for a friend to join me, I saw a stout gentleman in a neat brown suit entering an office with a bundle of papers under his arm. Something familiar in his walk made me look closely at him. On the window I saw printed in gold letters, Galli- more Publishing Company. I left the car and went into the office. I recognized him as Ray Gallimore and told him who I was. He was pleased to see me. He told me that he was the owner of the printing plant and had made a thriving business out of it. He had a rather large farm near town on which he and his family lived. He went back and forth to his work in town. We began to talk about old times and I asked him many questions about my former classmates. He told me that he had made a business trip to New York a few weeks before that. He stopped in Baltimore to see his old ° friend, Harry Walker. He stated that Harry had been working as an expert linotypist on The Baltimore Sun since he left school. He lived in a nice home in the suburbs of Baltimore. He was very successful and was a valued em- ployee of The Sun, I was glad to hear of this and I asked him what had become of Robert Whitehurst. He said that Robert’s father had willed him 500 acres of land in Eastern North Carolina. Robert was farming and produced sweet and Irish pota- toes for the northern markets. He had a base- ball diamond on the farm. After working hours and on Saturdays, he and some friends played baseball. He was a very prosperous farmer and had remodeled the farm house putting in all kinds of modern conveniences for his wife and family. He told me that not long before that he and his family were motoring through the mountains. On the way back, he stopped at Roaring Gap and went to an attractive bark cottage to ask for a drink from the spring. To his surprise, who should come out of the house but Elma Edwards. She recognized him and came to talk with him. She told him that her husband owned a novelty shop near there and he was doing a good business selling novelties to tourists who came there. As she was showing him about their pretty yard, they began to talk of their old friends. Elma told Ray that Louise Willis had became a successful life guard on Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. She was married to a lighthouse keeper and from all reports, they were having a happy married life. Ray told me that Carrie Mott Jenkins had attended an art school in Philadelphia after leaving school and had became a very success- ful designer of wall papers for Hopkins Company of New York. — |e 1 ||] So || ||| || | ff | | || | | | || | | HH | | } | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | — ht 111 111 1 9 —Hi——tii——— =) tt hh th th th tf ee 3 d
