Re: Patrick

My brother and best friend, Patrick McCOY ('55), died last
evening, (Wednesday, 12/2/14) in the presence of his three kids:
Danny, Lynne, and Luarie (all Hanford Hi). They spoke to him as he
went to sleep, saying things from the past. They all said he could
understand movements, although he was unconscious.

He came to our 60th wedding anniversary in August, and had a good
time. I spoke to him last Thanksgiving night, and we had a short
but loving conversation. He had been going downhill for several
months.

Being ten years older, Pat and I had little in common the first 50
years. He went into business quite young and was successful. I took
my own path... UW work as a CPA. Then, when I retired and we both
got the internet, we began to become very close.

We were both football addicts. Dawgs and Seahawks. He became very
into the Club 40 thing in those early days, and I can now reveal
that he contributed $1,000.00 over the first two years of the
scholarship fund.

Well, Mom and Dad and sister along with brother, Pat, now gone. I
am the last one.

Later, Pat

Re: Childhood Vitamins or whatever they called them.

All I can remember being given by my mother was Cod Liver Oil. I
can still taste it! UGH!!

-Curt DONAHUE ('53) ~ Pasco, WA   where my smart phone says we 
      are getting mixed snow and sleet. Must be at the airport.
      It's not at my house.

Re: Vitamins 

Thank goodness the mystery of the vitamin name has been sort of
resolved. For a moment I was worried that we were talking about
the "hot" cure-all of my youth: Hadacol. This stuff would cure
"anything". Probably due to the high alcohol content, it would
more than likely pickle the disease rather than cure it.

Believe it was concocted by a couple of "good ol boys" in some
swamp from leftovers from their white lightening endeavors. But,
hey, Arthur Godfrey endorsed it so it had to be good, right?

      weather guessers are saying there is a warming trend coming 
      before the return of the rain.

Re: Vitamin Syrups

All this talk about vitamin syrup brings back memories. I can
remember Mom giving us Cod Liver Oil. It was gross and tasted
terrible but it was supposed to make us healthy!

-Carol CARSON Renaud ('60) ~ Lynnwood, WA  where it is frigid but 
      sunny and bright. Snow is melting.

Re: Vi-Daylin

I guess we know whose moms loved them best, I never heard of the
stuff. The question is - were you loved best if you got it or if
you didn't?

-John ADKINS ('62) ~ Richland   It wasn't 83° here, Lyndy...
                            maybe 30°

Re: vitamins

My brother and I remember a liquid vitamin our Mother gave us. I
remember it as liquid in a brown bottle. But don't have the name,
it didn't taste bad to us.

Re: Vitamin talk

I was just glancing at the Alumni Sandstorm and noticed a lot of
talk about liquid vitamins. Does anyone remember "Chocks"? They
must've been the first fruit-flavored chewables.
