This time in honor of a Bomber Babe of my passing acquaintance from back in the day. By passing, I meant we passed in the "hallowed halls"; whether we spoke to each other or not depends on who is telling this story. Which means, that it is now time for a very hearty "Happy Birthday!" from one and all for Karen COLE ('55) on this, her 20th birthday. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the rain has abated (for the moment). **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Barbara SESLAR Brackenbush ('60) Re: Class of 1960 Bomber Luncheon DATE: Saturday, November 1 TIME: 11:30 a.m. WHERE: 3 Margaritas (downtown near Lee Blvd.) Spouses and friends are also welcome!

My dad, [Ernie LANGEVIN ('73)], made those awesome wooden plaques Gary [BEHYMER ('64)] posted [on Facebook] out of the wood floor from the old RHS girls gym! Each plaque is made out of the original 1944 "Columbia High School" (RHS) gymnasium floor, and measures 22.5"x10". Each plaque is engraved with a poem as if the gym floor is telling a story of its life, and each has a hanger on the back so you can display it proudly! He only had enough wood to make 25 plaques and there are a limited amount left, so message me if you'd like to purchase one. $150 each plaque and we can ship them to you if need be for a little extra. A VERY cool gift for any Bomber - especially those who played sports in the girls gym. Christmas is right around the corner!

But I must say, I had no idea how bad my eyes had become in the last 15 years since lasik... I must also sat, that I shoulda got bifocals and didn't. As I have relied on cheaters for up close all this time, my little pea brain did not fully grasp the need to have up close built into my new glasses... I shoulda realized, as I had trifocals when I had the lasik done. Now to get used to wearing glasses on the bridge of my nose steada on the tip is gonna take a little time. So for alla Bomber-babes who scolded me bout my eyes after I told on myself... I was a gooooooooooooooood boy... and can now feel much better about driving... especially at night... did you know that streets have little signs that actually tell their names? It's true... no more guessing... I'm sure the b-day kids today would never let things get that bad... I mean one of them hasta see that basket onna backboard so he can put that b-ball inna hoop... so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Karen COLE ('55) and Ray STEIN ('64 Number 10 in your playbook) on your special day, October 30, 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Darlene NAPORA Shuley ('69) Re: Blaine HOPKINS ('69-RIP) I was shocked and saddened to hear about Blaine's sudden passing.
