Fateful Reunion

Three years after D-Day, two old soldiers meet up with a longtime friend who brings her daughter Lucy. Lucy has a machine that tells the future, and it says one of the men will die before they can all get together again. This dark news ruins their happy reunion and makes everyone question what they believe and how strong their friendship really is.

For the third anniversary of D-Day, two veterans celebrate their reunion with an old friend, who brings along her daughter Lucy. When Lucy's fortune-telling machine predicts that one of the men will not survive until their next reunion, the prediction casts a shadow over the gathering and tests the limits of friendship and belief.

The son of one of two World War II buddies who have been holding a reunion on the anniversary of D-day since 1945 works for a company that has developed a "thinking" computer which can predict the future. While testing it, he is told by the machine that his father and friend will never have another reunion, that one will die before their next observance of D-day. The two have several brushes with death, but both are still alive the day before their next meeting.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
