Going to wish my brother Chuck ('63-RIP) Happy Birthday. He would
have been 70 today, but was struck down by cancer in January, 1984
at age 39. Chuck spent 20 years in the Army he was a Sargent Major
when he passed away. He was a outstanding soldier, husband,
father, brother, friend, athlete, coach and referee. You are 
in my thoughts daily, your brother, Jack.

Re: my mind... maybe not such a terrible waste

Oh sure... make points with Bomber-babes by fergetting their b-
days... zooom that's the sound of Susan SHERWOOD's ('63) b-day
zipping past me... one of my very favorite pictures in the '63
Colombian and I can't remember her b-day? I sure remember her
in those cut-offs helping Joe KAVECKIS ('63) with his tie...
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh... by the way, I must say that my lil
Huntington Beach-boy buddy, Rick MADDY ('67) nailed it the other
day with his description of the typical male mind when he
responded to Ann BISHOP ('56) and her new name for me... ya see,
it never really occurred to me to think of age as a factor in "the
eternal chase"... Well, I mean sure I noticed... but I can't say I
set my sights on just "younger babes"... With the exception of
Bomber-babes, I prolly had no clue what their ages were... with
Bomber-babes the class gave it away... but as Rick correctly
noted, one day Babes popped into my mind and they pretty much
occupied my thought from that day forth... Rick mentioned getting
some "manly" advise from a '65er... I can tell ya his name, in
fact... I won't tho I did mention it to the guy this summer when
we were all home together... in Jr. Hi, it was our practice to
meet up and Chuck TRUJILLO's ('65) in the morning before school to
watch the three stooges before heading to Chief Jo... I mean we
did this religiously, day in and day out... at one point, one of
our number would meet us at school instead of at Chuck's... hmmmmm
what in this very big world could be more portant than wooop wooop
wooop!? We would later learn that "afternoon delight" inna morning
was way more portant than nyuk nyuk nyuk... silly us... I DO
remember quite well when I STOPPED asking "younger" women out...
that was when I discovered that at a certain age they simply could
not put a group of words together into a coherent sentence and
that "ya know" and "well uh... actually" were the limit of
conversation... I also remember the period in time that moms and
daughters no longer had equal hold of my attention, and that
daughters were just little girls and moms were "babes"... what a
wonderful thing the male mind is... but if you Bomber-babes think
we had only one track minds... yer oh so wrong... at least for
me... cars and Rock n Roll took up at least 1 GB each in my little
pea brain of 200 GBs... and so it is today that I am preoccupied
by one a them wonderful Bomber-babes and wish HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Vicki SMITH ('63) on your special day, October 9, 2014!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Revere died October 4. Cancer. Not really sure how to feel
about that, but sometimes I think I'm in the fourth quarter with
only a couple minutes left to do something intelligent.
