We visited for awhile and I agreed to see him in court the next morning. I-Ie allowed me to go on my way, but as I drove I watched my speedometer until I entered the next town. I decided to stay there and wait for court to open next day, so I looked for a hotel. It was located upon a hill overlooking the town. I drove up to the entrance and went in to make my reservation for a room. There at the desk marked Manager was George Burman. I went over to chat awhile and he told me this was only one of the chain of hotels he owned. I was glad I was remembered, becausel got a beautiful room and very good service. This was one of the best night's restl had had in a long time. Next morning when I went to pay the bill, orders had been left that the charges were taken care of by George. I left a note reminding him of the reunion and thanked him for his kindness. I proceeded to the Court House, and began to feel a little shaky as I climbed the stairs. But, as I got to the court room door, I was greeted by Vincent. He took me into the court room and there seated at the desk with the gavel in his hand was Richard Wall. I-le told what they do to people who violate the law. He looked up then and saw who I was. and had to laugh over the lecture that he had given me. He let me off easy, just a lecture. but warned me not to let it happen again. So I invited him to the reunion and hurried down the hall out of the Court that I might get started back to my own office to make arrangements for the reunion for our classmates to be held in Thompson at the School Hall, where after having a bountiful supper we could spend the balance of the evening dancing with the music furnished by the school orchestra.
