Must be something wrong with the 'puter... again. I don't know
when I sent the entry to Alan LOBDELL ('69) in [the 2/3/2010]
Sandstorm, but it was awhile ago. I received 6 undeliverable
emails in another e-mail address, some of which were written
in 2008! Any clues to what could be the problem? Anyone??

Re: 'Class of 1960 - 50th reunion - 2010
 
Nothing has been put in the Bomber Homepage for our reunion as
yet. Should be appearing some time after the 24th of February,
our next committee meeting. Our reunion will be held September
10, 11 and 12th at the Red Lion on GWWay in conjunction with 
Club 40. There will be a sign up sheet with schedule in the 
spring Club 40 DustStorm. I'm on the committee doing the lost. 
I put an entry in the Sandstorm about once a month. If you are 
not signed up for Club 40 the dues are $5.00 a year and you can 
go ahead and sign up. Any questions from the class you can email 
me. Spread the word to all classmates you know.

Re: Travel

To: Ann BISHOP Ousley ('56)

Home cooked meal that I didn't have to make! What a sweet offer.
In 2004 I moved my youngest son to Savannah, GA to attend
Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) so he could study
computer animation. Then in 2008 I flew back there to help him
move back to Kent after he got his degree. Each way we drove
across country having a great time. We stopped for a day and
looked for diamonds at the Arkansas Diamond Park simply because I
had wanted to do that since I was a kid. Did not find a thing but
it was still a kick thinking that we might at any time. A ten
year old girl found a half carret diamond while we were there. I
have no idea if the park is anywhere near where you are. He is
now working on a film that will be in film festivals sometime the
end of this year or start of 2011. Anyway those were two of the
three times I have ever been in the eastern part of this country.
Even when I was in the Marine Corps I was not let out of 29 Palms
CA. I can only guess because of the work I did. When I asked why
I was told I didn't need to know. 

Thanks for the meal offer!!!
