I had a few days yet, so I visited my cou sin in Burbank While we were seeing the country, whom should I find but Richard Willoughby He was becoming famous as a grower of asparagus and spin meh in one of the fertile Californid valleys, made vacant by the removal of the Japs inland a few years before My visit with him brought back fond memories He told me that Harry Bowshier was one of the personnel at the Douglas Bomber Plants. We visited him when he was off duty Harry s id he was very much interested in California nd would make his home here for good It seems he lntended to marry a pretty C lifornia lass. When we went to see the ocean, we ocssed an army camp. Here we met Warren Dennis and Elwin pes on their shoulders. The stripes indie ted the high rating they held in the army They were snap ping out orders to long columns of privotes.

KCont1nuedD Traveling with them as far as Chicago, I had a day's leave to tour the city.. Here I met Isabel McGhee who was the lady manager of a big depart- ment store. She said she was making good. Chicago had also lured Glenn Haughn and Pearl Melvin whom I found at the great stock show. They were exhibiting their pure bred hogs and capturing many prizes. I left Chicago the next day and my next atop was in St. Louis, where I had a six hour layover for the next bus. While walking down the street, I saw a big sign which read: nDa1e Martin, Dealer in Bailed Hay and Straw.u I walked in and there he was--the same carefree Dale. He said he was doing a great business. ' A little farther down the street, I met John Beatty. What a business' he had making a washing fluid that washed ten shades whiter than any other washing fluid. He certainly looked prosperous. The westward journey coursed through country barren except for a small house now and then, and as luck would have it, the bus broke down way out in Nowhere. There were several hours to wait un- til repairs were made. I set out on a bike and, much to my surprise, I found Lyle Walters who was married and living on a ranch miles from nowhere. He said he enjoyed a quiet life. . ' My next stop brought me to Alberquerque, New Mexico. I stood waiting for the bus to pull in, and' glancing across the street, I saw my old fri- end, Ovid Timmons, all decked out in a general's uniform. I yelled novidn and he came dashing ac- ross. I found that he was com ander of the huge army depot stationed there, We talked of our years at Scioto High, and wished we had been a little more thoughtful and studious, as we both realized the value of our high school training in our present careers.
