Charles E. Gooch, who went to Florida two or three weeks ago, is back home again. Traveling by automobile, he left Miami Thursday morning and rolled into Chapel Hill at midnight Saturday.
The café manager was considerably surprised to hear of the many stories about his trip that had spread about town.
“I just went away for a little vacation,” he said, “and didn’t plan to stay. When I got home I heard that I had gone to Florida to become a real estate dealer—to establish a restaurant—to do this, that, or the other thing. Why, I’d hardly be surprised now to learn that I fled North Carolina to escape a jail sentence!”
While he was in Miami he lived with John Abernethy, with whom he motored there from Chapel Hill. He reports that Mr. Abernethy is doing exceptionally well as a member of the selling force of a big real estate corporation.
Floyd Gooch and Jo Brown, who started out for Florida Sunday before last, are also back in Chapel Hill. They got as far as Columbia, South Carolina, and there a relative of Brown’s gave them some sober counsel. They accepted it, faced north, and came home. Phil Council, who went from here with them, is with a relative in Hartsville, South Carolina. He is going to work there—for a while, anyway.
