C5155 I'0l0A2Cy It is the year 1964, and I have returned to Tuttle, Oklahoma, to visit my former classmates of Tuttle High School. When I entered Tuttle, the first thing I noticed was the billboards adver- tising an exhibition match of the Shuffleboard King, Terry Park, at the Super Cafe in Minco. As I entered the drug store, I saw the former Wanda Klippel still making sodas. She informed me that Jerry Sipe, her husband, is now improving the Klippel homestead and hauling milk on the side. Wanda told me that Royce Rieder, our safety minded driver, is now Oklahoma Safety Commissioner. What an advancement! ! ! While visiting the Tuttle Traders, I learned that Anne Hartin is now dance instructor at Arthur Murray's Dance School in Oklahoma City. As I was going back to my car, I met Dellow Reynolds who had just returned from the Cheyenne Rodeo. He said that he won first in the Brahma Bull riding. He also has an interest in the dairy northeast of town. Dellow informed me that Eldon Englebretson is now a Major in the 45th Infantry Division. He is serving as commanding officer at Minco. Driving down highway 92, I decided to visit the Corley and Sons Duroc Farm. Eugene was preparing to go to the American Royal Livestock Show at Kansas City, Missouri. After driving back to town, I encountered Mrs, Plumlee, formerly Joy Main, and Vernon Jr. She told me that her old school mate, Deloris Bowman, is now working in Oklahoma City and is still single. Bachelors, Beware! ! As I walked down the street, I met Henry Cooley, Tuttle Sheriff. It seems as though he has Modena Lovelace working on their dairy east of town. While talking with Henry, Bob Long came through town with a load of hay direct from the Old Hardesty Farm. I wonder if there is any connec- tion? After crossing the street, I met Peggy Autry emerging from the Post Office. She said that she was married and working at Bundy's in Oklahoma City. While talking over school days, Peggy told me that Emma Bassett and Anna Mae Bennett are the only active members left in the Lonely Hearts Club. I met Forrest O'Hara, who had just returned from his vacation in Brazil. He is now a wealthy band leader. Forrest informed me that he met Ward Paxton, who is now a petroleum engineer in Brazil. It seems as though Ward has finally found happiness with his fourth wife, I happened upon Mrs. Bob Koonce at the laundry, She said Bob was home taking care of the kids. I finally decided to take a chance and go see him. On my way back I met Loretta Garrett, whois now a bookkeeper in the First National Bank in Oklahoma City. As I return to my dairy in Wisconsin, I, Bob Harryman, find myself longing for the good old days when we were all back in Tuttle High,
