?l5fHrh2fQ Cakville, Washington, May l5, l946. DEAR HELEN: . Do you.realize that it is just twenty years ago since we were all Seniors together in Cakville high school? It hardly seems possible that it is that long since the class of 26 held their commencement exercises. We just arrived in town this afternoon, so I thought I would take this opportunity to let you know I will be over to see you soon. As we came through Vader last night I noticed a large crowd at the station plat- form. It was a group of the town,s business men electionering for Nelson Cheney, presi- dent of the Vader bank. They are running him for governor. l always knew Nelson was 'made of good stuff. Whenhwe arrived in town, Lucille Wood and her husband were at the station. I will not take time to tell you his name as he is unknown to you and ends in Uiskif' She was driving a Marmon Six sport model car instead of a Chevrolet. She asked us to go for a ride and we didn't need a second invitation. Toot, toot, we went down the street and as we turned the corner, Delbert lrvin dashed by with his Chrysler sedan. You know he owns the Chrysler garage on Main street now, and has George Easter and Edward Korbut as his mechanics, but I hear they are soon to go into business by themselves in China. Delbert was being followed by Noel Bain on a bicycle. Fab, is the city dog catcher and speed cop now. Lucille stepped on the gas and we followed them. At the corner where the Methodist church stands we ran into the midst of a wedding party that was crossing the street. Jesse Myers, the bridegroom, had been knocked down, but his bride, Nlargaret Tawney, seemed unhurt. The bridesmaids were still running and Roland McClintick was licking up the remains from a broken bottle in the gutter. Lucille just told me that Ted Brown was arrested for disturbing the peace in town. They are discussing the case in court now. It is thought they are going to send him to Siberia to work out his time on the landscape. Viola is judge and Cleda is lawyer for the defense so hard telling what the verdict will be. This, however, is to be their last case as they are going to retire from business and join their husbands in Florida. Marthex, a wealthy widow, has a beautiful home in Seattle. But she is planning on going to Florida to visit Viola as soon as she settles down. Martha always spends part of her vacation each year here at her home in Oakville. Elve and Ruth are as good friends as ever, but Ruth lives at Rochester and Elve at Garrad creek. But Elve and family motor up to visit her quite often in a brand new Ford roadster. Claire and family are farming on a large scale. They own several sheep, two cows, three chickens, thirteen guiena pigs and one duck. I got a long letter from Mrs. Brazel yesterday. Her husband and Miss Bones, husband own and control the entire Malone mill and are planning on putting up several new mills along the coast. Well, Helen, l must closeg I will expect to meet you tomorrow at three. Sincerely, EDITH. P. S. CTO whom it may concernj: I wish to state that Helen is a graduate of the Pullman State College and has been teaching music at the U. of W. for several years. But resigned last June on the lirst, and was married the second. As for Edith, I might say she is as short as ever, but she married a man tall enough to make up for the deficiency. -E. M., 26. Fifteen
