sv We are now back from a very nice vacation and reunion of our Classmates of 56, in Key West, Florida. As we are sure that you will want to know what has happened to them in the past 10 years, here are the details. We were invited to have our reunion at the Hurricane Butch Restaurant, owned and operated by Robert Hirschy. We had just arrived and were talking to Robert when we heard a commotion out- side and looked up in time to see Don Melching jumping out of his Leppen Lena in which he is still chasing Decatur girls. A moment later we heard the breaks howling, and to our great surprise it was Marlene in her Silver Streak. While discussing good times we had experienced at Pleasant Mills the door opened and in came Larry Myers followed by the former Norma Jean Bailey. Larry is now a professor at Harvard University and Norma Jean and her husband are teaching near Toledo. We heard spurs jingling and much to our surprise we saw John Speakman and his wife walk in followed by Paul Butler loaded with fur coats for all the girls formerly in his class. Paul now owns, The Butler Fur Company and John owns, The B-Bar-B Ranch in Texas. We had just put our order in for lunch when the door opened and ln walked Gene Williamson, who is now a star basketball player for the Minneapolis Lakers, and Darvon Light who to our amazement is an Admiral in the U.S. Navy. We thought we heard a kitten purr and looked out to see John Wolfe and Carl Sipe get out of a Cadillac. Carl explained that John was now the President of General Motors and that he was editor of the New York Times. MESHBURGER'S STONE CORPORATION General Office Linn Grove, Indiana

Just as we finished eating, the new owner of the Ideal Dairy Bar, Ada Foor, came in, followed by Ellen who has now taken her mother-in-law's place driving the school bus for Pleasant Mills. While catching up on details at Pleasant Mills someone in a bright sport shirt came in. We recognized Lester Sheets. who now is the head delivery boy at the 'Do It Right Store in Hawaii. Lester was telling us about life in Hawaii when Larry Merriman and Dick Byer came in. Dick is now the head Complaint Manager at the Intemational Harvester, and Larry is the director of the Philharmonic Orchestra. We heard a helicopter land and saw Judy Brunstrup climb out. Iudy and her hus- band now own and operate the Stucky Furniture Company in Willshire, Ohio. A few hours later Charles Wolfe came dragging in. When asked what was the matter he explained that he was director of Athletics at a famous girls' school and had to stay late with a class. When asked what we did to occupy our time Elinor explained that she was running a reducing salon, the 'Waddle In and Duck Out right here in Key West, and that Sue was the head secretary at the First State Bank in Decatur and that Carolyn was secre- tary of the Wilson and Bomholt Store in Celina, Ohio. After spending the rest of the week at Marlene's Hotel fThe Knickerbockery we all returned to our occupations. FARMERS' GRAIN COMPANY Grain-Feed-Seed-Coal Phone 26 Willshire, Ohio
