In the year 1970, I (Tillie Turner) decided to t ur the country. I met q ilte a few eoole from Oakfield High School. Among those were the graduates of 1950. Coin? through Arizona, I stonoed to change buses. Who sho Id I meet but Sylvia Weidner. She had married her dream man and was living near Phoenix. From her I learned that Dan Stelnke was an auctioneer for Lucky Strike. From Phoenix,I took an airplane to our national caoitol; As I was about to board the plane, the ilot walked over to the olane. He was none other than Douglas McLean. Ve had a very nice talk. The next stoo was ’.Yashington. As long as I was in Washington, I had to go and see the President. Imagine my sur-orise at seeing Maynard Chadwick behind the desk. A ’ter having a chat with Maynard, I left for Wisconsin. Notre Dame was olaying football the night I was in South Bend, Indiana, so I decided to go. The Notre Dame team won the game due to the excellent supervision of the coach, Darold Jollien. After the game I was talking to Darold. He informed me that David Parduhn was a psychiatrist in New York City. I decided it was time to get back to Wisconsin. In Madison, I stoooed off to see Delores Redmann, who was a ohysi-cal Education teacher at the University. She said she i-ked her .lob very much. She told me that Mary-Ellen Schinka was a Sneech instructor at Oshkosh. She also told me that Elaine Klebs had been claying rasebal1 with the Radine Belles. After a oleasant talk with Delores,! left for Oakfield. Going through Fond du Lac,I locked un at •ne of the theaters and the picture showing was, The Great Day starring Lloyd Reiser and Shirley Temple. In Oakfield, I met Lorna FTsher, who had become a farmer’s wife and was n w llvin near I a io-un. From her I learned that Eeatri e Perry was a nurse at St. Agnes Hospitol. Walking down the street, we met Arthur Culver. He had taken over the proorietorshio of the arker Lumber Coraoany. A truck came down the street owned by Panet-ti and driven by none other than James Rhode. After seeing all my former classmates, I went back to Watertown to resume by work as President of the Syncromat Lc Plant.
