March 16. 1965 To My Students: in view of the fact that I not only must write a thesis to complete work on my Master's degree in History, but also must find a way to spend the first million 1 made teaching (the teachers will laugh at this). 1 am taking a trip around the world. The following is a report on some of my most interesting experiences which 1 dedicate to you - my students. Early on the morning of May 28, 1964, 1 took a taxi to Waddell's Interplanetary Airport. While at West Point Roger invented the first plane to travel to the moon. Going to the window to buy my ticket whom should 1 meet but Roger! He tried to talk me into buying a ticket to Mars but 1 finally made it clear to him that 1 just wanted to go around the world. Upon hearing this he generously offered to make one of his planes available to me and he would be the pilot. Naturally, 1 accepted and as soon as Roger got his map of the world we left in America's first Jet airliner that Roger had also designed. With Roger acting as guide and pilot we proceeded on our flight. Our first stop was in Iceland, to refuel. We were amazed to find Byford Packett working as a mechanic at the airfield. When we inquired about his being here he said that he had come to have a good, clean enviroment in which to raise his 40 kids. 3 rabbits, and 1 goat. Having the greatest pan of our journey before us we left Iceland and headed to England. Since 1 had so much money and other valuables in my possession, I decided it would be safer for me if I hired a man from the famed Scotland Yard while I was in England. When I phoned for a man they obligingly told me that thier foremost sleuth would be at my service - one Louis McClintock. It seems Louis had made quite good at Scotland Yard; in fact it had just taken him six days to catch the notorious criminals who had stolen the door of his office! With such a trusty bodyguard I continued my tour of London town. 'Imagine my amazement while visiting the palace when I found that Gary Meader is acting as the private tutor to the Crown Prince of England! Proceeding to the House of Parliament I was conducted on a tour of the building and since Parliament was not then in session I had the opportunity to visit the office of Sir Winston Churchill, and who should be his receptionist. Switch board operator, and private secretary all rolled up in one - none other than Evelyn Scott! I always knew she was efficient. Since my time was growing short, I decided to hurry back to the airport; and after bidding farewell and thanking Louis for his excellent protection (after I boarded the plane I found that one of my diamond earrings was missing!) we started on. Roger said that he had heard that the luxury liner. The Queen Elizabeth, was docked in Liverpool. Because he thought he might be able to get an idea for an invention he was working on, we decided to fly over there even though it was out of our way. A few hours out of London it became evident that we were running out of gas (Roger said he forgot to refuel!). Seeing an island below, we landed and immediately were surrounded by an armed guard of about 20 men. We were marched to a huge building where we were led before the royal governor of the island. Nothing could have surprised us more than when Reah Hunzeker appeared as the governor! To our inquiry as to where we were, she informed us that this was the Isle of Man. Secretly we thought this was just perfect for Reah, since she never could concentrate on just one man in high school. After receiving permission from Reah to refuel the plane, we were allowed to leave the governor's mansion. After refueling, we again took off and winged our way to Liverpool. Landing in Liverpool we went to the dock and inquired about the Queen Elizabeth. The guard told us that she would be in dock for ten more minutes while her Admiral, Donald D. Knox, was receiving last minute instructions. We were curious to find out if this was the Red Knox, our classmate in Pawnee High. Hurrying to the ship, we boarded, and since Roger had permission to tour the ship he could examine the ship in order to find out necessary information for his next invention. We heard a thundering of footsteps and Admiral Red made hi aopearance. Since this was the first time we had seen Red serious, we asked him what his trouoie was. He said that his girl in England had found his little black book and that she had learned about his girls in all the other ports around the world. Poor Red, he’s still having trouble with his girls! We walked around the ship a little longer and then with a few seconds to spare we said goodbye to Red and hurried back to our plane. After flying for an hour, we could see a strange looking depression in the ground. Being rather curious, we ecided to make an emergency landing and find out what this oddity was. Upon landing we saw a group of machines and men a short distance away so we walked up to them and one of the men informed us that this was an engineering project headed b) the famous engineer. Vaughn Yost. It seems Vaughn was trying to build a canal from London to Calcutta. Vaughn always did try to do the impossible! Vaughn was buried deep in papers, which looked Greek to me, so we decided to go back to our plane and continue on to France. Landing in France we were walking down a street when we saw a sign advertising Bob's Brew. Deciding that we should try everything at least once, we investigated and found .that our old friend Bob Blecha owned a very successful brewei and that Don Peacock was working as Bob’s official taster. Our only comment - what could be more fitting?? After leaving Bob's shop, I became interested in the advertisement of a fashion show. After all, what is the use of a woman visiting Paris without attending a fashion show? I found seats in the salon where the show was to be held and anxiously awaited the showings. Among the models I spied Jacquelyn Packett showing some of her own creations. As I talked to her she persuaded me to buy one of her designs and she said that she was becoming very famous in France and throughout the world. She and Allan B. had decided to make their home in France permanently. Knowing that Roger would be impatient, I hurried back to the plane and we again took off into the wild blue yonder, this time for Switzerland. After dodging the mountain peaks we landed in a little mountain resort town. The tourist trade was quite heavy and everyone was headed for the ski lift. Further inquiry led us to discover that Dale Wende was operating a ski lodge since he had retired as the world's champion ski jumper. Dale also operates a branch office in Timbuctoo, Africa. Kenneth Klepper is the manager there and for some unknown reason Ken doesn't have a very prosperous business. In the air again, we winged our way to Italy.
