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 -Dick McCOY (from the Tin Can class of '45) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Curt DONAHUE ('53) 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. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) 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? -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the weather guessers are saying there is a warming trend coming before the return of the rain. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Carol CARSON Renaud ('60) 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. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Judy WILLOX ('61) Margaret EHRIG Dunn ('61) Pat DORISS Trimble ('65) Betti AVANT ('69) Re: All Bomber Lunch ~ aka Patti's All Bomber Lunch To: All Richland/Col-Hi Bombers Rushing there, rushing here, My, oh my, Christmas is near Stop a minute, take a break, See your friends, new ones make Come and enjoy good times with us.

I remember it as liquid in a brown bottle. But don't have the name, it didn't taste bad to us. -Nancy ERLANDSON Ballard ('67) ~ Richland **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Matt CROWLEY ('75) Re: Vitamin talk I was just glancing at the Alumni Sandstorm and noticed a lot of talk about liquid vitamins.
