Ann Thompson, aka Anna May WANN ('49) has resigned and our interim Treasurer/Data Base Manager is Kathy HOFF Conrad ('64). Ann is not ill, but chose to cut down on some of her duties with Club 40. Ann will still be Editor of our [paper] DustStorm and articles for the [paper] DustStorm will go to her address. Contact information for Kathy is KConrad6318@charter.net The new mailing address for your dues (which are due this month), is P.O. Box 1832, Richland, WA 99352. Be sure to notify Kathy with any address, phone or e-mail changes. Also if there is a change in your marital status i.e. Death of spouse, etc, please let her know so the data base and mailing address labels are up to date. This address is also to be used for donation to the Scholarship fund. Watch for the Club40 DustStorm in April-May with a registration form for our September party/meeting. You will have a choice of dinners on Saturday for our "sit down" meal instead of buffet. Should be a lot better for a lot of us!! Hope a lot of you are making your reservations!!! We will again be at the Richland Red Lion!! [As always] the weekend after Labor Day!! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments. -Marilynn WORKING Highstreet ('54), President - Club 40 Pasco where it has warmed up to the 40s again! **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: C3PO, ECB3, and R2D2 All right all you cool Kats and Chicks out there in Bomberville, how many of you can picture an image of the three characters I named in the "re" of this message without running to google... It's me the ol' Tooter comin' atcha from radio XERB blastin' at 500,000 Watts a power flyin' high over the great mojave in my Tooter Scooter... playin' pounds a sounds and stacks a wax... ah the memories of da Woofman while drivin' through the desert at night... I coulda listened to him all night long and often did... he prolly kept me awake many times when I woulda otherwise dozed myself off into a burro or a cow sleepin' in those little dips along the two lane cruzin' way over the speed limit, tho here in Nevada we didn't have one in those dayz... but they did in California and Arizona and I hadda cross those states in my week end cruze... yes those were the days and I can see the B-day Bomber rockin' out with me as he studied some kinda outa this world math or physics problem while I was drinkin beer from a can and hopin' not to get caught by the fuzz in my buzz... so glad those days are past me and they can very well stay where they were in the past!!!!!!!!!!! So let's hear it today with a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Earl BENNETT ('63) on your special day, January 12, 2015, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Vicki OWENS ('72) Re: Richard Rhodes' Interview I know that the Oral History Project of the Atomic Heritage Foundation has been mentioned in the past, but recently received this link to an interview of Richard Rhodes from my big brother Bill ('69). Richard Rhodes is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the Manhattan Project and the science surrounding the A-bomb and H-bomb. Although it's nearly an hour and a quarter long, I was fascinated throughout. He certainly knows his stuff, and weaves together both history and science most clearly. For you with the time to watch it, enjoy! http://youtu.be/tSFAJo6lapc or maybe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSFAJo6lapc&feature=youtu.be -Vicki OWENS ('72) ~ Khartoum, Sudan where I would have loved a space heater or electric blanket last night! **************************************************************** **************************************************************** Bomber Memorial >>Pat MURPHY ~ Class of 1966 ~ 1948 - 2014 Bomber Memorials **************************************************************** **************************************************************** That's it for today.
