Re: Carol RICE Forester ('62-RIP)
Actually, I am still in Kansas City and will stay here for the
funeral; it will be this Thursday, February 26, 2015, at her
church in Liberty, MO just outside of Kansas City. I am staying
with a friend of Carol's.
-Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) ~ in K.C. where it is expected to get up
to 45° today, and no snow all week which beats Hope. IN
where they've had over 8" of snow since I left on 2/19 and
are at -6° right now.

Re: Passing of Carol RICE Forester ('62-RIP)
The Bomber Class of 1962 has lost one of its best. Carol was a
classmate who was truly nice to everyone, from kindergarten to our
senior year. Condolences to her friend Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) and
to her family.
-Tim SMYTH ('62) ~ in Holmes Beach, FL anxiously awaiting my six
siblings

Re: Sharon TATE ('61wb-RIP)
http://AlumniSandstorm.com/Xtra/Lar/150224-SharonTate.jpg
That was one of the more memorable (to me any way) episodes of The
Beverly Hillbillies. I remember seeing it when it first aired. Saw
it again a few years ago. For some reason a kangaroo was shipped
next door to Banker Drysdale's house and got loose. Granny keeps
seeing it and thinks it is a giant jackrabbit. No one else ever
sees it and Jed believes Granny has been drinking too much of her
rheumatiz medicine so he keeps trying to find where she hid her
jug. In this picture Miss Jane had been trying to get Jethro to
kiss her. However, not really understanding what she is saying,
when Sharon Tate comes in he picks her up and kisses her instead.
As I remembered it Miss Jane is pointing to the door kicking
Sharon TATE out, but it looks more like she is kicking Jethro out.
-Dennis HAMMER ('64) ~ Kennewick, I have crocuses blooming in
front of the house. Soon be time to open up the cement pond.

That was not a picture of Sharon on Beverly Hillbillies in the
February 24th issue; but you can watch the episode entitled "The
Giant Jackrabbit" on YouTube and see Sharon. She was so
attractive!

Re: My luck finally ran out
Soooooo, there are a few things that are inexcusable... this was
one... a very few things are unforgivable, this may have been
one... we shall see and only time will tell... generally speaking
I cringe a bit when the Oracle ('63) sends me an email that is
titled "Blew it again, Rook"... Oh I mean if its just to let me
know I missed Bobby Goldsboro's demise I can take that in
stride... I'm sure I was somewhat of a fan in the day and I know
while I was in Australia I enjoyed the song "Honey"... but I think
he ranks up there FOR ME with Bobby Vinton... I know I know some
of you think Bobby Vinton invented "Blue Velvet" but Lynner the
Spinner ('57) taught me mo betta with the Clovers and the
Statues... but when Jimbeaux scolds me for missing the Ever Young
and Lovely's birthday, I take that very seriously... now there are
few b-days I have committed to memory... most of them belong to
Bomber-babes who have last names beginning with "W" (there would
be seven to be exact... four from the same famblie) and one is the
Ever Young and Lovely... now truth is when ya spend as much time
in jammies with a Bomber-babe as I have with the Ever Young and
Lovely you tend to remember such things... I dare say I believe I
have probably even kissed her in a moustache... but then I've
kissed Mary Ann WEILAND ('63) in a moustache without the
jammies... no I mean she wasn't wearing jammies... no wait... ah
crap... so maybe that doesn't count... I dote on this babe to the
extent that I even gave her a wonderfully beautiful umbrella at
Pook's ('63 RIP) memorial that she has been trying to get rid of
ever since but just like that "song" the "Thing" by Phil Harris
(that they play endlessly on '50s on 5 and why I have no clue...
get outa here with that boom boom boom) nobody will take it... So
there are several Bombers who I put on my cheat sheet with just a
little reminder instead of full name and class year... the Ever
Young and Lovely is one of those... in this case I just put an
"N" and a very small "n" at that... well, I was so busy trying to
remember the year of the Arlene's "crash" and Barronelle METCALF's
('62) maiden name that I didn't even notice the little "n" on the
cheat sheet... now to be perfectly honest, I did check before I
went to the coast to make sure I could do the post for the Ever
Young and Lovely when I returned... I confirmed I could... I even
called Kippy Lou ('62) on her special day knowing she never uses
email and doesn't read the Sandstorm so it isn't that I wasn't
aware... I was just in Richland back in '63 or so... and almost
failed to return like the time traveler in the series 12
Monkeys... ah geez this is not helping very much... all I can say
is Nancy WICK ('65) I was very much aware of your birthday and
just screwed up!!!!! For the next five years at Christmas, when we
do the grab bag, even if I pull out a solid gold diamond ring, you
can snatch it away even if it isn't your turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and kisses!

Re: Bomber Websites [that are on TRIPOD}
I tried to make an update to the Class of '82 Website (first time
in a very long time), and Tripod evidently wants us to migrate
everything over to a different area. I can't even access what we
have, so wasn't sure how to go about doing this. Are any other
class webmasters having this issue? If so, how did you rectify it?
