In February 1978, I had just returned from taking my 12 year old daughter and 2 of her friends to Disneyland. As we arrived at the home of one of the girls, she got out and told me thank you. She said "Mr. Hunt, I would kiss you, but you smell like an ashtray." I quit smoking that instant. I had a pack in my pocket and a carton in the cupboard. I found that you only have to quit for a few seconds at a time. As the urge to smoke only lasts a few seconds then it passes. Of course it returned shortly but then you just resist for a that few seconds and it carries you to the next time. After 24 hours the length between urges grows. I know I am as hooked to cigarettes today as I was that day. Just like an alcoholic, you are always a smoker you just don't smoke... and now after 37 years I still have an occasional urge. And the whiff of a good cigar is always tantalizing. -Rex HUNT ('53wb) ~ In lovely downtown Hanford, CA where the air can get clogged with heifer dust so that a raunchy cigar would seem a relief. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) Re: 2015 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race http://www.iditarod.com/ - Official Iditarod Site OUT OF HUSLIA (HOO-slee-uh)(501 MILES TO NOME - 86 miles to Koyukuk) 1 Aliy Zirkle/#32 2 Mitch Seavey/#18 3 Jeff King/#59 IN HUSLIA ((501 MILES TO NOME - 86 miles to Koyukuk) 4 Aaron Burmeister/#60 5 Dallas Seavey/#46 6 Tommy Waerner(r)/#8 8 Hugh Neff/#24 9 Martin Buser/#4 11 DeeDee Jonrowe/#29 OUT OF GALENA (583 MILES TO NOME - 82 miles to Huslia - 1/2 way) 15 John Baker/#78 20 Joar Leifseth/#16 NOTE:Mackey brothers were running #62 & #63 just 24 hours ago 22 Lance Mackey/#30 23 Jason Mackey/#72 24 Paul Gebhart/#28 33 Ray Redington/#34 37 Anna Berrington/#39 41 Kristy Berrington/#11 43 Linwood Fiedler/#27 IN GALENA (583 MILES TO NOME - 82 miles to Huslia) 45 Scott Janssen/#20 46 Allen Moore/#57 48 Jim Lanier/#13 51 Rohn Buser/#31 Red LANTERN (in Ruby) 75 Ellen Halverson/#35 SCRATCHED/DISQUALIFIED (3) 1 Brent Sass/#71 2 Zoya DeNure/#79 3 Gwen Bogart/#14 Bomber Cheers, -Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) ~ Gretna, LA ~ 62° at 1am **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Shirley COLLINGS Haskins ('66) Re: 100-year-old Richland woman still driving ~ 3/13/15 Tri-City Herald Many of you might remember Clarice Glenn, retired Richland School Teacher. "She taught at Jefferson, Spalding, Sacajawea and Lewis and Clark elementary schools -- retiring in 1978." "She is one of 197 people 100 or older to have an active driver's license in Washington, according to the state Department of Licensing. That includes an uncertain number of licenses issued to people who are no longer driving (or possibly not even alive) because they have military licenses with no expiration date." -Shirley COLLINGS Haskins ('66) ~ Richland **************************************************************** **************************************************************** That's it for today.
