Class Prophecy by Larry Doherty After nineteen years as a photographer at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf. 1 decided to take a cross-country tour to visit my classmutes. I was married and had two lovely daughters. School w as out for the summer so I started making plans. Janet, my sister, was coming along with me. She isn't really my sister, but during our school days we called each other brother and sister. The habit just stuck with us. Wt)|( Janet was a teacher here for fourteen yuan and had twelve sets of twins and the author of popular selling book- Cheaper By Two Dozen . Now Janet doesn’t have twelve sets of twins all her own. Half of them were adopted. Janet and I both started the following week. My •Idost daughter and Janet’s oldest sets of twins were coming along. The others all were sent to a summer camp. All of us, who were going, piled into my new 7«» Dodge station wagon and head-on! for Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As all women have been down through the ages. Jnnet wanted to stop off at a filling station to clean up before we visited the Bongey—Helgeson Baseball School. Both boys wore also pro busebaH players for the Bravos. Leon was married to a girl from Illinois and hud a son in with the B'aves. Stan was not so lucky. He had two daughters and was niarried to a girl from Oklahoma. We all went over to Stan’s ranch-stylo house and stayed there overnight. The next day was the final day of the World Series. Milwaukee was playing Japan, (at the lust word, world , fits in the World Scries) at any rutc, Milwaukee won for the thirteenth straight time. That night we stayed at l.con’8. The World Series nrc now played in the summer. The following day we were on our way. Wo crossed lake Michigan by a great bridge. On our way to Detroit, Mich., it was raining cats and dogs. But, with the wonders of glass, all highways and main cities were gloss-domed. At Detroit we looked up Ross, who was one of the world’s most famous pro-football players of all time. He was married to a Michigan girl and three sons who played football. We spent the extra day at Detroit and stayed overnight at Ross’ place. Since Ross was off from foot-1 all he cornu oolng with us. That dfcy we were well on our way. Ross and his ddest boy went with us. I was wotting quite a load, but my soft - heart was like butter. Late that afternoon we were in New York City. I turned the car over to Ross ns he was often in N. Y. C. In New York City wo looked up Deanna, a married teacher, who modeled Italian clothes for Life. Her husband was an interpreter on the Ed Sullivan Show and her son and daughter were at Summer Camp. There was a full house that night. We all stayed at Deanna’s and two days afterwards we started for Miami., Fla. At Miami, Fla.. Delores, world famous artist, was very glad to sec Ross. Ross decided to stay then return to Detroit, so we stayed for a day, and then after a day’s visit we started on our way. With carefull timing we got in Dallas, Texas July 3rd. It was now 1970, two hundred years after the Declaration of Independence and a great celebration was going on. So we quickly looked up Allen. Allen spent the next several days there. And to our sur- prised we found Bill who flew in from Denver, Colorado. So Bill then returned to his home with us. July 4th was a big day! Allen was a DeSoto auto dealer and had four kids. Bill was a bachelor and a game warden in Colorado. We all stayed in Dallas for a few more days and then were on our way to Phoenix, Arizona, with a new passenger. Bill. The following day wte were at Phoenix and looked up the Noble School of Dancing. Jerry was very glad to see us and showed us how to dunce some fancy steps. Jerry was married to a Mexican girl. After a night's stay, wc started for Los Angeles, California. We have traveled nearly clear around the country and hadn't stayed at any motel so we decided after our visit in lx» Angeles that We would stay at n motel.

Pauline took up some art us a hobby and whs a housewife with two boys. That afternoon we visited Disneyland. Half way to San Francisco I got a motel for the night to please everyone. It was now late in July and our tour was half over. Time was running short. The next morning we paid a short visit to Betty. She was n housewife also with four children. Betty wanted us to stay, but we couldn’t. Wc drove right an through Oregon to Seattle. Washington, to see Marvin and his famous fish Hatchery, also. He was a famous fisherman and was married. At lost some woman accepted the job of cleaning his fish. That's how his famous hatchery came about. After having dinner nt Seattle we started eastward to Denver, Colorado, Bill’s home.
