Class Prophecy By Raymond Wyman At the United States Mint in Denver, Colorado, at the end of June 19G0, I was granted a month’s vacation from my work. Soon after my graduation, I was fortunate enough to gel a position at the Mint through my nunt, who lived in Denver. In school when we studied about the mints, the thought struck me that someday I’d like to work in one, so you see why 1 say I was fortunate. It had been twenty years since I was East, so I decided to go back there. It was a nice day in Denver, when my wife and I left. We drove across the plains until wc came to Wichita. Kansas. We decided to spend the night in a tourist lodge there. When wc arrived at the lodge, 1 saw a face that was familiar to me. Then I noticed that it was Keith Richnnlson. The sign on the lodge read “Richardson's Tourist Lodge but I had not connected it with my old friend Keith. He and his wife had decided to go into that kind of business, and from all appearances had made a great success of it. We visited for a while before retiring. Needless to say our conversation drifted back to the old days at W. S. D. When I told Keith that I was on my way hack Cast, he made me promise to get all the information I could about our Alma Mater and let him know about it. The next morning we got up bright and early and 1 drove on through Kansas until we reached Kansas City. Missouri. There we stopped nt a restaurant, which was connected with a railroad depot. As wc were very hungry from traveling, we went in to get something to eat. When we got inside, I saw a short, heavy set man whom I thought I had seen before. It was Marwood Burr. He was traveling west for the summer and was going to stay in San Francisco. He is now a teacher at the Missouri School for the Deaf at Fulton. He was still single but was going to be married soon. After wc finished eating we went to a hotel for the night. The next morning I headed north for Iowa. We came within ten miles of Des Moines when my tiro suddenly went flat. Seeing a nearby farm house, 1 decided to go there for help. To my great surprise the name on the mailbox was Donald Rei-nlck. As I walked up to the house, just then Donald came in from the field and recognized me. It certainly seemed good to see another ’49er after all these years. He told me that he had over forty acres of corn on his farm. I told him that I had a flat tire, so he and his hired mnn came out with me to fix it. When he looked into the car, he said, “You told me that you would always he n bachelor.” I told him that os 1 grew older, I changed my mind. Later his wife Invited us to stay for supper and some supper it was! Athlccn makes a good farmer's wife. She can fry potatoes farmer style and that is the best way. After supper we drove to Des Moines nnd stayed for the night. The next day we started for Wisconsin. We drove until we reached Madison. I noticed a sign which read Wisconsin School for the lk af. This was a great surprise to me. The school had been moved to Madison, because the legislature decided that Madison was a l etter location for the school. After looking nt the school, which was very lovely, modern in every way, wc drove to Waukesha, where my folks live. Waukesha had not changed much, hut is now a suhurb of Milwaukee. It was too late thut night to get out and look around. The next morning my mother told me that a deaf lady lived across the street. My curiosity being a-roused 1 went over to see who she was. It was Mn . Wayne White. Her maiden name was Patricia Rise. Her husband owns five stores in town and they are living in a very beautiful home. This surprised me very much a we, who were in school with Wayne twenty years ago, thought thut he would be a farmer. After staying in Waukesha for nlmost n week we decided to drive to the ferry dock in Milwaukee. On the way in, we saw a man who was very richly dressed. It was William Hnrtig. He U now a millionaire, because he invented an airplane which runs on atomic energy. He doesn't even have to think about working for the rest of his life. Inspite of his prosperity, he remembered the old hunch and seemed glad to hear about those whom I had seen. We got the car on the ferry and sailed over to Michigan. After we reached Michigan, we continued our driving until we reached Mackinac Island. Wc hoarded a ferry to the island. On that island people can travel only by horse-cart because the roads arc too narrow. We left our car at a garage and rented a horse-cart and rode off to a cottage. When we arrived nt tho cottage. I saw a man sitting out on the lawn of the next cottage with his wife and little girl. At a second glance I noticed that it was Leonard Peacock. It didn’t take me long to get to him. He recognised me at once. He is now a coach and printing instructor at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf near Philadelphia. He has a summer cottage on Makinac Island and spends his summers there. After spending three weeks in our cottage, we drove to Chicago and took the American Air Line hack to Denver. It was a plane of the latest style, which could carry cars on it, so we, car and all, flew hack home. The trip was certainly worthwhile. Before leaving Denver, 1 had hoped that I would run across some of the 49ers, hut I didn’t dream that I would see them all. Back In '49 I knew thut our class was made up of good stuff, and it gives me great pleasure to know that they have all made good. [22] Written September 10, 1969
