I'OpllQCy Dear Vivian, lt has been some time since you've heard from me, but my travels with my sport- loving husband lDid you know that l finally married the star of the U.C.L.A. football team?l have led me all over the country. A strange thing happened not long ago when l was on my way to Chicago from Los Angeles for the Big Nine football conference. l saw most of our old classmates all aboard one train. l was on my way to the dining car when whom should l bump in to but Jean Lockwood on her way to New York where she is the- dietitian at the Waldorf-Astoria. We were stopped by Leonard Maki, who mentioned that he and some of the old gang were on their way to the Great Lakes for a short vacation. He invited us to join them in the club car and meet Bob Hendrickson, who is now married and living on the Island-never could get him off the old homestead, Howard Anderson, just a happy bachelor who now owns a string of theaters along the West Coastg Orville Tomasli, who is the County Agent of Wah- kiahum County, Lee Gisselberg, married and very happy, who is now the head of the Agri- culture Department at W.S.C. Forget to tell you that Leonard is a professor at Stanford. At the time, Jean and l wondered if they weren't just taking a rest from their wives. From the boys, I learned that Bob Lee is a successful business man in the East. We wouldn't have known it because he was riding the rails-it seems he lost a bet on a big game-from Los Angeles to Chciago. Shirley Coates, after graduation from college, became a successful stenographer until she married her boss five days after he employed her. You know what Mary Ann always said about becoming a hermit, well that's what she is now, she has a littlelplace in southern California and does just what she want to all day. Phyllis Foster graduated from the U. of W. and is living in Seattle. She is to be married in the spring. lf you have any aches or pains just go to Cleveland, where Della Rae Oakes is the head nurse in a big hospital. Red is on his way back there after a championship bout on the East Coast. l wonder if she will say yes this time? Dick Johnson has gone back to his native California. He isn't married yet but there are several beauties on his trail, so they tell. Remember that escapade at 'Kalama? Well, Ozzie and Jake now own their own plumb- ing supply company. Bob Olsen is still in the Northwest doctoring sick animals, yes, he did become a veterinarian. Being so close to Jean all his years at college, they are now planning a wedding in the spring. Speaking of professionals in our class, Mike has now taken over Dr. Fritz' practice, and- his daughter as well. They are planning a trip East as Soon as Mike has made an important discovery in the curingof cancer. Speaking of doctors, Betty Ullfers is now a receptionist in a doctor's office in Seattle. Remember how Bert was always working on her hope chest? Well, she's married and living in the Middle West. Another of the girls was Mae Haugen. She won a scholar- ship, went two years and then got married. She is the happy mother of twins. At a small town I got off and wandered into a coffee shop, and who should l see but Fred Wood, he is now the Fire Chief in that town. He married that girl from Vancouver and they are planning to build a new house. The carpenter is none other than Joe Gorman. Baldy fLyle Ahrensl has become a barber, and he still hasn't made up his mind about women. How are you and Pete coming along on that new house you were building the last time you wrote? l hope you have lots of success in the grocery business you are starting.
