The letter said that I had been selected to go on a lecture tour throughout the United States to inform hearing students of the deaf people’s general progress during the past ten years. My family was allowed to accompany me as the tour was scheduled to last at least eight months. A week later, our aero-space car, which runs on jet propulsion, was packed with our necessary belongings and we started on our way. Our first stop was Tallahassee, Florida, where we met an old classmate of mine, Dean Smith. He was not the little guy I knew back in high school, but had grown to be practically as tall as me, a full six foot, seven! To my astonishment, as handsome as he was, he was not yet married. I was happy to hear that he had a good job and was quite successful. In Nashville, Tennessee, we stopped to admire the most luxurious house we had ever seen. At the same time, a chauffeur-driven car pulled up and a well-dressed man emerged from the vehicle. It was, no doubt about it, Wayne Piemeisl! I quickly got out of our aerospace car to greet him and he was extremely happy to see me. We were more than pleased when we received an invitation to dine at his home. Wayne was a perfectly happy bachelor who, in spite of his enormous wealth, continued to work in an industrial business. He donated large sums of money to charities as one of his services to the public. We thanked him for his hospitality and continued on our journey. As we were passing through Arkansas, we happened, by chance, to run into Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Chesterton. Mrs. Chesterton is the former Colleen Baker. They had six children. of whom all. except two. had pure black hair like their mother. The rest, like their father, had light brown hair. Colleen worked part-time in a huge IBM factory in order to earn enough money to send her children to college someday. She was a very considerate and diligent mother. We decided to visit the Space Research Center in Houston, Texas, because I received word that Brent Lamb was employed there and I wanted to see how he was making out. He guided us around the Center and explained about many of the latest and most interesting inventions. We thanked Brent for his time and headed for a nearby well-known ranch, the Texas Cowboy “C” Ranch. At the ranch, we bought each of our daughters a cowgirl outfit and took them riding on horses which we rented from the ranch. Just as we were preparing to leave, a short, stout woman came walking briskly towards us. To my amazement, it was Helaine Galis! Her husband, a tall, strong, weather-beaten man. was the owner of this very profitable ranch. They had five children and lived in an old-fashioned, but comfortable, log cabin right on the ranch. Helaine told me where I could find another of my school chums and we hurried right over to see him. Mike Costello and I spent a lively evening recalling old times we’d spent together. He had a thick brown beard, but his broad, cheerful smile could still be seen quite easily. His wife was a blond with big. blue eyes and they had two healthy children. Mike's love for his job as a dental lab worker made him a big success. We were happy to stay for the night as we were very tired from continuous traveling. The next day. we drove on to Santa Fe. New Mexico, where we had intended to spend a few days. While we were dining in a fancy hotel, an attractive couple, whom I immediately recognized as Mark Tollefson and Dorothy Drew, approached our table. They had been married for 15 years, but their playful petty squabbling still existed. They had four children and were expecting another soon. Mark was very successful as a carpenter. Before we could pass through a national park in Arizona, an inspection of our luggage and aero-space car was required. I inspected the inspecting crew, and there—sure enough, was Larry Doiel! In a short conversation with him, the following information was available: he had been employed as an Arizona Conservation Ranger for 11 years and was next to becoming chief ranger. He loved his job almost as much as he loved his faithful Indian wife and twin sons. We drove into Mesa, where I had heard Anne Berres lived. She resided in a beautiful home located on top of a high hill which overlooked the busiest section of the city. Her husband was a short, stocky Mexican and they had two children. Anne taught at the Arizona School for the Deaf and was home for the weekend. After a short visit with her, she told me to go to a particular home for mentally retarded children in Las Vegas, Nevada, where somebody would be awaiting me. I was extremely puzzled, but did as she bade. The next day. upon arrival in Las Vegas, I had little difficulty in locating the home for mentally retarded children. I made my entrance and was greeted almost intantaneously by Kathy Franzen! Kathy, as she told me. was married to a tall, well-built man and they they had three perfectly normal children. She was very considerate of the mentally re- tarded and wanted to make helping them her career. After a brief visit with Kathy, we departed , and I—with my family, continued on to the “Golden State . In Hollywood, as my wife's pleading got the best of me, I reluctantly took my family to a ladies fashion show. Strangely. I was not as bored os I thought I would be, but rather, interested. The styles and the materials were lovely!! After the show, an introduction of the designers was made and to my ultimate surprise, two of them were Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Voss! Mrs. Voss, nee Kathy Cox. was the chief designer with Jon as her assistant. He was also a fashion photographer for a popular magazine. They were very successful in both businesses and very happy. My reunion with the Voss’ cost me, to be exact, $247.96, and my wife was responsible! Since it was nearing the Christmas season, we were allowed a two v eek vacation from lecture programs. We had our plans all set, boarded a small chartered plane in San Fran-aico, and flew to Hawaii. On the way across the sea. I had a nice long chat with our stewardess who turned out to be. surprisingly enough. Cherryl Weis! I was dumbfounded when she told me that her very own husband was our pilot! They had eight children who were spending the Christmas holidays with their grandparents in Pasadena. We arrived in Hilo, Hawaii on the evening of December 23 and registered for a hotel room. The next evening, we went to the city square where the Hawaiian population was celebrating their Christmas festival. During the celebration. I met by chance, good ole Mike Fnhley. We talked for a considerable length of time and I learned that Mike was a supervisor for the boys at the Hawaii State School for the Deaf. He was home for his vacation. He, like me. had four lovely daughters, and also, an exotic Hawaiian wife! We returned to San Francisco two days later, with another week left to spend. In Berkeley, California, we attended a performance of the National Theater of the Deaf. The lady in the box office was strangely familiar and no wonder, it was Sandra Skubal! I remained near the office until I was able to speak to her. I was astounded to learn that her husband was the mayor of Berkeley and that they had three sons. Sandra enjoyed her Job as it gave her an opportunity to meet many different people. Just then, the program began and we hastily excused ourselves to go and witness it. When we finally settled down in our seats and I was able to take a more careful look at one particular actress, I could barely believe that it was Rachel Reese I was watching! We watched a most interesting performance and then I rushed backstage to see her. In a brief visit with her, she introduced me to her husband, who was also an actor, (a mighty handsome one, too!) They had seven children and were very pleased with them all. It was getting a little late, so I figured I had better get my family back to the hotel and into bed. Our vacation over with, we hit the road again. On our way through Oregon, we stopped at an expensive, but excellent, restaurant for dinner. Just as we were finishing our meal, a short, husky looking man with a big smile, approached me with an outstretched hand. The next instant, I remembered him as Dennis Schwartz and shook his hand warmly. He was one of the excellent cooks. He earned more than enough to support his wife and five children. As I was about to pay the check, he told me that he was the restauranteur and that it was unnecessary for me to pay. Although I insisted, I lost the argument. We thanked him for his generosity and continued our traveling. In Spokane. Washington, I stopped at a huge flower shop to buy my family something to show my love for them. As I walked into the shop, the florist and I recognized each other in the same instant. He was John Amondson, the guy I used to consider “flower boy back in high school. We had a very enjoyable time getting reacquainted. I could plainly see that he still loved flowers. I met John’s lovely wife and two children, as they were in the shop at the time helping John close the place up for the night. I picked out a large, beautiful bouquet for my wife and smaller ones for the girls. John gave me the address of another of my classmates telling me that I just had to see him as it would make him very happy. I promised John I would and returned to my family at the hotel for the night. The next day, keeping my promise to John. I started out alone to the address given me. I found John Dam row busy at work in his printing shop. John was overjoyed to see me and I was likewise. He had a substitute take his place while we went for a snack uptown. John’s wife, as he told me, was a beautiful brunette and they had six children. He was the owner of the printing shop that printed the local daily newspaper. Returning to the shop, we parted and I hurried back to the hotel to pick up my family so that we could continue our trip. It was when our youngest daughter was overcame by a slight illness that I met Sara Rhoades. Sara was an assistant head nurse in a rather large hospital where our daughter spent a few days during recovery. Sara was, as yet, unwed because she had difficulty in deciding which of two particular men was best. She was happy with her present job but would rather marry and settle down. While my family was shopping for clothes in Billings, Montana. I wandered off and looked around on my own. As I was passing a sport shop, a group of heavily clad men marched out. One of them waved to me. Focusing all my attention on him. I saw that it was Kenneth Hewitt! Just as I approached Ken. another man emerged from the group only to increase my astonishment for it was Jac Rudersdorf! We had a long talk together and they told me that they were going on a hunting trip in Canada. Asking each about their latest background, I learned that Ken was the father of three and had a very lovely blonde wife. Jac was about to rear his fifth child and his wife was an adorable brunette. Both of these handsome men lived a very prosperous life as industrial workers in a large company. Wishing Ken and Jac luck on their trip. I headed back to our aero-space car where my loved ones were awaiting me. Two days later found us in Aberdeen. South Dakota. Having a whole day ahead of us, we made up our minds to go and look at some mobile homes just to pass time. While I was gazing at some of the most fascinating and oeautiful mobile homes I had ever laid eye on. a tap on the shoulder brought me face to face with Lenny Fromholtz! He sure haa changed since last I saw him. He was much taller, had broader shoulders, and wore a bushy beard and mustache. I almost fainted when he told me that he was the designer of most of these beautiful mobile homes! Lenny had a wife and five kids and he was very happy with them, too. Because our little girls were completely exhausted from a very busy week, we drove back to our hotel room and spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping. While we were getting ourselves settled into a large motel on the outskirt of Minneapolis, one of my little girls reported to me that our TV wasn't working properly. I notified the office of our problem and the manager said he would have it repaired. Half an hour later, the repairman arrived and I couldn't believe my eyes, but it was, for darned sure, Scott McHone! Only ten minutes of fast work and he had the set working perfectly. In a brief conversation with him. he revealed to me his latest background. Scott was married and supported a family of four. He loved his job of repairing modern TV sets, radios, and other such equipment. After thanking Scott for his work, he left and we ail relaxed and watched our television set. It was in a small cafe in Illinois that I encountered another great coincidence. No sooner had we begun eating when the family of Alyce Kowalski entered the room! I invited them to join us and we had a long talk together. Alyce’s husband told me that he was a foreman in a huge steel factory and earned reasonably good pay. Alyce told of their family background. They had three children, one of whom was adopted! They were going out west for a month’s vacation. Having a schedule to keep, we finished our meal rather hastily and were on our way once again. After giving my usual lecture about the Deaf’s general progress to students in a high school in Chicago, Illinois, I was told by the principal that the senior class was going on an educational trip to a new auto factory later on in the afternoon. Having nothing to do, I asked him if my family and I could accompany the class on their tour and he agreed. At the factoiy, I was fascinated at how the men went about their various jobs, but I was even more fascinated when I neared the assembly line, for there, among the many workers, was Bill Bowers! The foreman agreed to let Bill get a substitute so that we could visit with one another. He loved his job as an auto-assembly worker and was very skilled at it, too. Bill showed me a picture of his charming family. His spouse had jet black hair and they had three adorable children. We chatted about everything until the foreman called Bill back to work. Saying good-bye to Bill. I hurried off to finish the tour with my family and the class. Because we had no time for a hot meal in a city in Iowa, we stopped at a supermarket to buy some snacks to eat on the way. I was waiting just outside the store for my wife when I noticed, just across the street, a strangely familiar man unloading a huge beverage truck. Walking a little closer, I could make him out (in spite of his mustache) as Lewis Dutcher! We had a very interesting talk together and he revealed to me his status. He was married and had two children. Even though Lewis’ prosperous job as a truck driver sent him far from home at times, they were still a happy and closely knit family. Just then, my wife emerged from the store, and saying so long to Lewis, we hit the freeways again. Some weeks later, having a few days to ourselves, we went to the State Fair in Virginia. At the fair, I was overwhelmed with joy when I met Brenda Weissinger and her family! She was married to a tall blond with blue eyes and they had five charming children. One look at them and anybody could tell that they were obviously, a very happy and united family. All of us spent the remainder of the day at the Fair together and. at Brenda’s request, the following day. too. It was another two weeks before I gave my final lecture and reached the end of my schedule. We were quite happy to return to our home in St. Augustine, Florida on May 9, 1989, as we were completely exhausted. A few days later, I was astonished, once again, when Jean Ferguson and her family stopped at our house, for a visit. She had a handsome, dark-haired, blue-eyed husband and three lovely children. They were going North to visit some relatives. After thay left, my family and I had a lively time recalling all the fun we had on our tour. I. especially was very happy to have had the opportunity to see all of my old classmates again. Class Will...
