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 .
