; Winging my way eastward I remembered my next stop was to see Helen. Christensen, now Mrs. M. T. Byrd. She was still living in Warrenton but was now in Hattiesburg visiting her husband's folks. Landing at the airport I called Helen and asked about the day. She answered fine and came and picked me up. At her in-laws we had a lot of fun but I left early in the afternoon as I wanted to be in another town for night. Helen drove me to the airport and I gave the two little Byrds a short plane ride. After a farewell I was once again on my way. I was headed now for Atlantic City. Arriving there I traveled to the address I had and reached an ultra-modern hotel. Going in I saw Bob Scrimsher behind the desk. I asked if he were working here and he informed me he owned the place and was just working for a few minutes while the clerk stepped out. Soon we entered into a long discourse about our days in '46, Accepting his invitation, I stayed a week and learned he'd inherited the hotel from his rich uncle. After acquiring a glorious sun tan I again took off, this time for New York, Going home I spent the night and went to my office. the next morning. There my private secretary and nurse, Frances Shultz, was working. I told her I was getting tired of writing all these interviews and asked her to go along. She was thrilled and after a quick trip to her house for her things, we took off, this time for a short trip to Yonkers. Here we saw Hazel Maize, mow Mrs. Pat McCarthy, and her three children The three of us passed away the afternoon inquiring about each other. She asked Frances and I to stay overnight but we thought we could make it about half way to Detroit before nightfall, so set off. By arising early next morning we reached Detroit and proceeded to see James Hagen. We knew he was the manufacturer of the Hamee Vacumm Cleaners. He had changed very little other than acquiring a wife, a son, a half-million dollars, and a few years. We spent the night with him and we really saw De- troit. Late the next morning we soared toward Chicago where we were to see Jackie Hudelson. Jackie met us at the airport. She was now a famous opera singer with a troupe from the Metropolitan. We passed the day together con- versing on everything. That night Jackie got Frances and Ia box at the opera which we enjoyed even though we didn't understand it. We stayed all night with her and also the next two days. We had one more to see and interview, and that was Delores Neuharth. She was still living in Warrenton with her folks. We arrived there and the three of us had a swell afternoon. Then we had a big time visiting friends we used +o know - juniors, freshmen, and sophomores we knew when in high school. The next day we went to school which brought back a lot of memories, only WHS had grown quite a bit as all Warrenton had. With tears in our eyes Frances and I set out for Salem on the last lap of the journey before home. Don was glad to see I was back with twelve votes and surprised to see Frances. After three days in Salem, Frances and I set out for New York and work feeling glad in our hearts we had this opportunity to once again relive our school days together way back in '46. Bob Knight
