d £ach at the $utu%e One bright sunshiny morning in June, I decided to write a book! After scribbling ov$r four giant economy size sheets of typing paper, I decided I hadn't enough information on hand» It seemed to me that a long trip might help--besides, I wanted to take a vacation 1 packed my bags immediately and started out. By the time I got to Chicago, I was tired of traveling alone. Remembering Marilyn Shallberg's sense of humor and the fact that she had taken shorthand back in fcausa High, I decided that she would make an excellent traveling companion and secretary. I called her long distance at once. After much coaxing, she agreed to leave her job as secretary to the publisher of the NEW YORK TIMES, and I told her I would be in New York the next day and would see her then. It was almost noon so I went into a little tearoom called “Lynne’s Lunch Box. I was quite surprised to find that the charming and gracious hostess was Lynne Seagren, a former classmate. Lynne told me that once a week she broadcasts a television program from her tearoom. After a delicious luncheon, I boarded a plane for New York and arrived there late in the afternoon. I went at once to Marilyn's pent house apartment. While we were eating supper, Marilyn told me that Roland Begier had recently taken over Coney Island. We went out to Coney that evening and found Roland running a “souped-up roller coaster, which was his specialty. He offered us a free ride but we declined. I helped Marilyn pack the next morning and by noon we were ready to take off. We called the Anderson Cab Company--“All cabs equipped with swivel chairs --and in less time than you would believe possible, a cab careened around the corner and screeched to a stop in front of the building. As we climbed in we discovered that the driver was none other than Gary Anderson, formerly of Wausa High. We had only gone about a block when Marilyn groaned, “I wish I'd taken that roller coaster ride last night. Maybe I'd have gotten killed and I wouldn . have to go through this! A few minutes later there was a terrific crash--the Empire State Building now looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. As we climbed out of the wreckage, a hearse with yellow wheels and red sidewalls stopped behind us, and out jumped Wayne “Digger Wrick. He told us he was out looking for business, but since we were all alive he offered to take us the rest of the way to the airport. He put our bags in the front seat, Marilyn and I climbed in the back, and we started off. Pretty soon we went over a huge bump, then stopped- Marilyn and I couldn’t imagine what had happened until Wayne opened the door and shoved in a pedestrian. It seems he creates his business as he goes along. We were very happy when we reached the airport as the hearse was getting rather crowded. W'e said a hasty good-by to Wayne and rushed to our plane. A steward, who looked like a football player, showed us to our seats. We thought he looked very familiar, and as soon as the plane was in the air we called him over and asked him it he had ever been in Wausa. He told us tnat it was his home town and that his name was Lowell “Puff Erickson. Puff told us that his girl friend, a stewardess, was sick and that he was taking her place. We also learned from Puff that Norman Creutz was in Sing Sing--as a Warden, that is. (At least that's what Norman wrote his folks!)
