enior ro phecy New York City New York MUY lO 1970 Dear Ellamae I have just amved home from my tnp around the country looking up my old classmates of 1955 Slnce you are out rn the wrlds of Borneo as a missionary to the head hunters there I thought you might like to know what has happened to the seniors of '55 I started out from my home tn New York and went strarght to Wolbach where I thought I mrght be able to frnd most of my old classmates As I drove through Maru Street I saw a srgn on one of the wmdows which said Wolbach Cafe Best Meals in the World Served Here I was feeling slightly hungry so I went rn Who dld I see behlnd the counter but my old classmate, Erme Hood all wrapped up rn an apron and serving hamburger to the customers I was surprrsed to see h1m but I was really bowled over when he told me who was cook It was Beverly Bother It seems that Emle and Beverly decided to set up a business of their own and since they were both good cooks a restaurant seemed best While I was eating my dimer the floor show came on fBev and Ernie have declded to really shock the town I Can you guess who was the star of the show? None other than Donetta Wagner She sang and danced to several popular tunes like 'Jump In Your Lrttle Airplane and L.et's Go For a Spin I decided to take a llttle drrve around Wolbach just to see my old home town agarn Whenl came to the bank I remembered that I was a lrttle short of change so I thought I would go rn and get a small check for one thousand dollars cashed I thought the cashrer seemed farmlrar butl couldn' t qurte place h1m Suddenly 1n a flash it came to me It was .hm Marco After chattmg for a whrle Jrm rnvlted me over for dmner at hrs house that evemng Naturally I accepted were former classmates Bonnie Ryan and her husband Rrchard Caudill and Margle Steenson and her husband Al Dubas It seems that Bonnre and Margie had bought a dude ranch before they were marned and they are now runnrng 1t It attracts all wealthy millronarres and b1ll1ona1res Iso I must v1s1t it sometrme I At least that's what Al and Rrchard told me After dinner our host suggested that we lrsten to some records by Gerard Noonan I was rather bewildered so I asked about h1m I was told that Gerard was a rrsrng srnging star and had al really made gurte a few records I wondered why I had never heard of h1m before but I realized why when I was told that he goes by the name of 'Crooner Noonan I-hs trademark rnstead of a bow tie is bnght flashy socks When I mqurred about her I was told that Betty Kolar was operatmg a gold mine in Colorado so I immedrately set off the next day 1n search of her I frnally found her w1th a prck and shovel earnestly d1gg1ng for gold She said 1t was a very profrtable busmess but that a good share of the profits went for lrmment and rubbrng alcohol Leavlng the Kolar Gold Mlnes I went 1nto Wyoming whrch I had always wanted to see How ever, I went at the wrong txme or perhaps rt was the rrght t1me for I got caught rn a snow storm I made my way to a ranch house, and what do you know the owner was none other than Llnda Moms Lmda was glad to see me and maybe YOU think I W0Sf1'i 9105 to S96 hef ' She S015 that 40 I I .
