Pekin, Illinois .Iune 1, 1951 Dear Marion, a I received your letter and have written to tell you where all our old classmates are, as you requested in your letter. Our old friend, Nadine Lohmann, is a great opera singer, and in' her last letter she told us that she was engaged and would be married in June to a well-to-do shoe manufacturer in Boston. I went to New York for a visit last Week by aeroplane, and was surprised to find the pilot to be none other than Clifford Davison. We were met at the landing station by a huge crowd, and were presented the key by the mayoress. Something was very familiar about her and I found she was none other than Lola Albertscn. I lunched at her home and then went to see a tennis game played by I-Ielen VVills and Isabelle Lolmes. Isabelle won and is now the champion of the world. I stayed a few days longer at New York, seeing many of my old friends. Edna Stoneking is practicing law and is quite successful. Virginia Griliin owns and operates a modiste shop on Fifth Avenue and supplies the gowns of many of the wives of the nation's notahles. The last evening of my visit in New York, I went to the theatre with some friends, and was surprised to find William Black was the leading star of the evening. The play was called the Isle of Chance and wus a huge success. As I had to cash a check, I went to the First National Bank and found that thc cashier was Louis Lauterbach. He said that he had a surprise for me and led me to the president's oiiiee. I entered into a cloud of smoke, and there, sitting in a comfortable over-stuffed chair, sat the president of the bank, Norman Siebens. Putting aside his huge black cigar, he rose to greet me. He said it was a daily occurrence to scc somebody from home, for a great many of his old classmates were very successful in New York. I decided that I had stayed long enough in New York, so I boarded an air ship for XVash- ington. In a few minutes we halted on a landing station while the chef got the supply of milk for the diner. The milk arrived in large trucks and, I talked to one of the drivers. I-Ie told me of the large sanitary dairy where he worked and he said that the place was owned by Norma Nierstheimer. I was sorry I could not go to see the dairy, hut it was necessary for me to go to IVashington at once. YVhen I arrived i11 VVasliington, I was met by Beulah Potts, who is now senator from Illinois, and I stayed at her beautiful home the two days I was in Washington. As I greatly needed a marcel, I went to a large beauty shop which is one of the best in IVashing'ton. Attired in a dainty white frock, the owner came to curl my hair and I discovered she was Frances Pitts. The evening before I went home, I went to dinner at the XVhite House. No doubt you know that Rosewell Gray is the president of our nation. WVR! were received by the gracious 'Lady of the Land,' who was formerly Miss Isabelle Lawton, of Pekin. After a pleasant evening, we went to our hotels and in the early morning we boarded an air ship to Pekin. It is nearing dinner time now and I must stop writing to satisfy my pangs of hunger. I remain sincerely yours, IVIAIIKIH Smrru. New that this zoomlrons tale is done, You may know 'tis all in fun. 'W 1926 TWENTY
