..... ...ws If--1 -- One bright summer day in the year of 1979 members of the graduating class of '59 held a reunion. Dona and Jane were on the welcome committee. The reunion was held in the city park of Palouse. First to arrive were Mr. and Mrs. Ancel Jeffers, the former Jean Fisher. She was hard to recognize at first for her five children were crowded around her. We sat down to find out what some of our old classmates had been up to. Jeanne said she had graduated from business school. After she and Ancel married they settled down in the city of Palouse. A question arose about Ron Brantner and what he was doing now days. Jeanne said that Ron was a janitor at Regents Hill. That he was the same old Ron, just couldn't get away from those girls! As noon hour approached but who should appear--Mike Mahn. You could always count on Mike showing up when food was on! Mike said he had been making plans for the construction of a huge building in New York City and that he saw Pat Raymond the other day in New York. She said she was sorry that she couldn't attend the reunion. She had a job modeling on the Bob Cummings show and had to go to rehearsal. Most of our classmates had arrived so we decided to eat. There was much conver- sation at the table and we heard the name Jerry Askins mentioned. He was sitting near us and was telling about his big ranch. He had 1, 000 acres of land and was really roll- ing in the dough. He had traded his '54 Chev. in for a '79 long sleeky black Cadillac. Yes, Jerry had made an enormous change since the year of '59. As we looked across the table, there sat Lei Lani Hard. We commented on her lovely hair style. She told us that Bonnie Bidle had done her hair in the Miss Bidle Salon in Spokane. She said Bonnie was kept busy with her own business now. Lei Lani has been working for the Ford Motor Company keeping books. While we ate we learned that Karl Chase was unable to attend because he had been the first to reach the moon and hadn't come back yet! He has become an outstanding scientist and has won the Nobel Prize for being the first to reach the moon. Everyone finished dinner and things were picked up. Everyone was so full after that big dinner that we just sat around and talked. Ralph Moore asked me what Jean and I had been doing. I told him that Jean was working for her husband in Spokane. She is his dental assistant. She wasn't able to attend for they are gone on a cruise to Hawaii. As for me I am working in Seattle. I gave up my carrer as a dental assistant and I'm now teaching the second grade in Lincoln School. Ralph said he was kept very busy on the Nickobob murder case. His law office is on 21st, Avenue, New York. He told us to come anytime if we wished his services free of charge. Patsy Redman told us she has been launching a huge campaign C1ean Up The Slums. ' She is a very active social worker in the state of Washington. Just then Ron Cochran and Don Colbum came breezing in. They apologized for being late but it couldn't be helped. They had to run in the 500 mile race in Indianapolis. They failed to win but it was a thrilling experience. Ron was the driver of their car called Bird Dog. Don was his assistant. George Decker wondered what I had been doing. I told him that Iwas kept very busy keeping house for Bill, and watching our six little angels. George said he had a garage on 42nd and North Hollywood.
