1959 Prophecy
Dear Neal,

When Chuck and I were passing through Lincoln on our honeymoon, we ran into Mr. Hughes, who had the Decatur Basketball Team in the finals of the State Tournament. I asked him about our old classmates and this is what he told me:

CLARENCE BROCKWAY, after touring the country-side for so long, has finally settled down. He is a successful barber in Topeka, Kansas.

ROBERTA HUMPHREY, is now working in Omaha, and the poor kid is still trying to gain weight.

DENNY PETERSON, finally got a position with the New York Yankees. He is the bat boy’s water boy, but is working his way up.

JUDY NELSEN, is still going to school, and she still has to push her little blue bug to get it started.

REX SEARS is a high-ranking officer in the United States Marine Corps.

EVELYN LENIG now holds the Women’s World Record in the one hundred yard dash, but she still can’t catch Butch Epling.

Well, Neal, I’ll be closing for now. By the way, how is business in your little tavern at Stevens, S.D.?

Yours truly,
Marilyn Maslonka
