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.
