I.lll.ll V My Dear Mr Thurman' In regard to your letter of last month here is a detailed report of our recent expedition into space. As I boarded the rocket ship Blue Devil ' desigied and manufactured by Peterman Ford Motor Company operated and owned by RONNIE PETERMAN, I was quite pleasantly surprised to find EMMA PHILLIPS pri vate secretary to JIMMY JENNINGS famed astronomer who had discovered an unknown planet and named lt SR 57 occupying the seat next to mine Emma and I began toremmisceabout old times and to inquire of each other as to the whereabouts and oc cupations of all our former classmates From talking to Emma I found that a great number of our past stu dents were moving to SR 57 to establish businesses I asked about the nightlife at the planet and found out that so far only one nightclub had been fotmded This was the B1g D1pper owned by those two play boys and successful bachelors DE WAYNE HIGH and KENNETH SIMPSON They had employed several of my classmates MARGUARITT A GONZALES and SHIRLEY RAT LIFF were m the Chorus Lme while GEORGE HARRIS was the chef All at once from the front of the ship came a loud cheer and I looked forward to see several young men yelling at the top of their lxmgs Emma told me that they were the famed SR 57 Comets DON JACKSON who had been a big success on Planet Earth as a professional football player had gone to SR 57 to try his luck at coachlng MAX GOOD and EARL SHANNON had Joined partnersl1lps and started a rather large project for their con struction company Their goal was to build a larger dam than Grand Coulee and to span a bridge from SR 57 to Earth FRED DURBIN and JERRY PHILLIPS were the most successful farmers on the new planet Fred owned a chicken farm and used robots for farm hands This cut his expenses somewhat Jerry was a big Angus ranch er and was working on a new breed of cattle JERRY NANCE was a noted test driver and was trying out LINDEL and RAY ZACHARY S new automobile which ran on water The only poss1.b1e trouble they might have with this experiment is that water IS scarce on the planet JAMES SUSON who had made the army his career and his breadticket was the commander of the armed forces LLOYD FLETCHER worked hand m hand with James by bemg Commanding Officer of the National Guard Branch on SR 57 FREDDIE HOUSTON was a big producer of a telev1s1on show which played only bop music His ch1ef ad vertlsmg scheme was that of men s nylons ELMER MOE WERYAVAH was his leading leg model AUBREY BELKNAP the only television repairman on SR 57 had a thriving business DON LOGAN came up with a new invention, the double jointed cigar one end for chewing the other or smoking Don was president of the company while SHERRY THOMPSON was vice pres1dent and handled the financial department About this time the stewardess walked down the aisle and I recognized her as MRS BETTY DUNBAR Betty stopped to chat for awhile and we found out that our ship was being piloted by her husband EARNEST The handsome co pilot we had farled to recognize was GARY DAGE IVA RAE EDER was the ship s nurse By this time we had landed on SR 57 and Emma asked me to have a cup of tea with her in the Olde Tea Shoppe operated by MRS ROZELLE WHITE and MR JAMES BRADFORD Emma explamed that they had as to he near their dear old students The shop was being patronlzed by several different people whom I remembered and inquired about their stations m life MRS PAT ZACHARY and her twelve children were havmg an afternoon snack while DIANA ANDERSON and FERN BLYTHE were havmg lunch D1ana had written a successful book entitled Secrets Men and Fern was the most successful business executive on SR 57 All at once something began to wrap about my leg and I quickly jumped up and heard a little dog howling furiously I found the owner MARY FAY PARKS was a noted Cl11huahua breeder and apologized for steppmg on the dog BECKY DAVIS was with her and I found out that she was the dog s private dentist I was somewhat tired by this tune so I Set forth to explore the f1eld of hotels Finally I found a nice look mg hotel named THE NEPTUNE and entered only to find the proprietors were HAZEL VEACH and DONNA GRUMMON Operating the switchboard as big as you please was that gal from Arkansas WAUHILLA WALT I just happened to run across RHEU NELL F UDGE in the lobby and she started begging me to go with her to a party that nlght I explamed that I had nothing to wear and she immediately recommended an exclusive dress shop owned by MARY KAY CROWLEY and CAROLYN DANIEL I asked her whom the party was for and she explained that it was m honor of TESS WITT SR 57 s Grace Kelly Rheu Nell was an opera singer at night and a music teacher by day She told me that one of my old short hand buddies GAYLE REECE was teachmg shorthand and that BETTY PHILLIPS basketball team had over come Mars and won Universe The party was held in PRICI.LLA RAY S home Priscilla was the wealthy socialite of the time For enter tamment she had hired the famous horn duet consisting of PAT WILLIAMS and KAY HILBERT They were now currently featured at the Big Dipper I excused myself and went to powder my nose I happened to bump into DELORES FIELDING who was gathering Backfence Gossip for The Walters Herald Her collaborator and secretary was KATHERINE PITT MAN Everyone was glad that I had come to establish a newspaper and that my first big feature would cover the visit of the United States President MAXINE PHILLIPS Maxine had fmally achieved her long set goal and won an election to become the first woman president Maxine s traveling party consisted of MARIA MEJIA private secretary and companion ALLAN CHAP MAN accountant and DOYLE MARTIN personal bodyguard SR 57 was really a wonderful new planet and a fine home for such fine people as the graduating class of 1957 Please feel free to visit our planet at any time You will always be welcome Sincerely yours f ,, 1 ,,
