Nancy is at Mac Murray College for women in Jacksonville, Illinois. Peggy, the better half, is still a pretty redhead, and when all the girls line up together, they're beautiful sisters. Georgie says that when he takes a golf stick in his hands, it's a spade, a rake or a four foot saw, and one of the girls is on the other end. The budget is balanced, and they are treading the path with heads up and chins in.
