It Is the year 1969, and we thought we'd look up the class of ' 9 Here's hoping these past twenty years have been successful for all of them. First, we head west to Wyoming where we run Into ELAINE ALT. She Is working on a ranch there to be near her old flame, Bill Fyfe. (She was sweet on him.') And while still In Wyoming, we find our old cheerleader, Mrs. Lee Funkhouser, the former GERALDINE JAAX. They now own the largest ranch In the west.

It is Babe's Drive In , owned and operated by DORIS KUMPF. (She has
