In 9010 a group of orthologists discovered a buried city in the state of Missouri. The scientists believed that the city (called Richland) had been swallowed up by an earthquake in the year 1979. The people had evidently been forewarned that a quake might occur in the district, because the city was filled with evidence of a hasty evacuation. A further study of the city revealed many interesting things about the people who had once lived there and what these people had done. The scientists found that the mayor of this once-prosperous metropolis had been a man named Stephen Belshe. His wife, Sally, and three private secretaries, Marilyn (Gladden) Gan, Donna (Witt) Payne, and Beverly Drennan had assisted him in his many duties. Marvin Gan, the husband of one of the mayor’s secretaries, was City Manager. At the edge of this buried city the scientists discovered what appeared to be an atomic research laboratory. The equipment, of course, was so outdated it was hard to identify. The laboratory had been under the direction of a lady physicist, Miriam Halter. Records of her assistants showed them to be Gay Nickels, George Windes, Evelyn Pentecost, and LaGayle Black. At what was evidently the educational institution of the city, the scientists found that a man named Alfred Powers had been director there for about ten years previous to the earthquake. Other instructors in this establishment were: Music, Mrs. Mary Lou (Murphy) Hunter; Chemistry, Mr. Dale Raines; Speech and Dramatics, Mrs. Nadine (Ledbetter) Adams; and basketball coach, Mr. Ted Oglesby. (There were many trophies signifying that the basketball teams of that High School had been successful for some time.) In a downtown area the scientists discovered what was probably a theater. The showbill featured world-famous vocalists, Jerry Thornsberry and Wally Shoop. The scientists also uncovered what they finally figured out to be a printing press in a newspaper office. The paper was edited by Leon Schuenemeyer. Some of the newspapers contained quite funny cartoons by two men, Jerry Lewis Dodson and Gerald Greely. One of the papers, dated 1970, gave an account of the first jet plane passenger service from Richland to Paris, France. The paper listed pilots from the city, who were going to serve on that first flight plane, as Charles Barnes, Allen Carnes, Tony Crisman, CarlCarrell, Dorel Eaken, Alvin Lowery, and Leo MacDaniel. Another paper gave an interesting account of a case being tried in the County Court by Dorsey Scott, Prosecuting Attorney; and defended by Avery Davis, popular crim- inal defense lawyer of that day. It seemed that the accused had stolen a car from Trower's Used Car Lot. 30
