Gllass Qgrnplqerg A long, balmy summer evening in the year, 1968, gave a twilight hue to the tall build- ings of New York City. As the myriad of lights flickered on through the buildings and on the streets, various interesting nocturnal activities began. The friendly red tints indi- cated the sinking of the sun and beautified the huge, bright signs emblazoned with neon and incandescent lights. The most impressive, however, was the marquee over a thea- tre entrance, built by a Mr. Howard G. Oliver. It was the opening night for Mr. Oliver's presentation of a play and crowds of people surged around the entrance, in lines that extended along the block. People had been waiting since noon to see the production which starred Mr. Lee James Terhune. Mr. Harold Lunn had flown in from Gillstown a few weeks before to design the costumes for this play. He made a comment about the stormy weather he had encountered when flying over St. John's Mountain. At present, however, Mr. Lunn and Mr. Terhune were busily chatting backstage about acquaintances in Gillstown. Mr. Terhune had just married one of the leading actresses that had come from there, and Mr. Lunn was quite popular with several. Just then, Mr. Michael Crombie scurried by after making last minute checks of the equipment through which he was going to have the play recorded and sent over the air by way of his network of broadcasting stations. Mr. Crombie was in a rush to get back to his box where his wife, Connie, and three children were waiting. Close to the entrance of the theatre was parked a deluxe custom-built conver- tible owned by Mr. Eugene Edward Lezgus, who was in the profitable business of designing and building these cars. Mr. Lezgus, a dealer in foreign cars, carried on custom building as a sideline, with his main office situated not far from the theatre. Lezgus-built cars were owned by the two big financiers, angels of the show, Mr. Ronald Kerr and Mr. Arthur Ward, who were busily engaging themselves in the plush pine- panelled main office, estimating the profits. They were interrupted by loud pounding on the door, which they opened by remote control. A loud, traditional So Hello! was the exchange of greetings as Mr. John Stein and the Rev. Jay Thomas Perkins walked in. Mr. Stein, the traveling salesman, pulled out his little black bag and led with his fast sales talk: So you want to buy a painted necktie, maybe? So maybe you like bright colors, no? Mr. Kerr and Mr. Ward were persuaded to buy one. After the cigars were passed around, these four members of the Class of 1951 of St. Bernard's talked about old and recent times. Father Perkins, dressed solemnly in black, told of his ministry. Mr. Stein, when asked about the particular aspect of his iob that he liked the best, replied, Money, and more money . U71
