Not only that, it is also the birthday of one Bomber and a trifecta of Bomber Babes. Not too shabby now is it. First off, the Bomber is one of the older crowd, but a neat guy anyway; and that would be Richard ROBERTS ('49) And now, the trio of Bomber Babes, all of whom I went to school with back in the day. One was even in my graduating class. Leading off is Patty BADGER from the class of '53, batting second is Patricia LEIBEL from The Class of '54 and in the clean-up position is Sharon TEMPLEMAN of the class of '55. Not bad at all. I'm only going to say nice things about them because, let's face it, I fear the wrath of their husbands (nice guys one and all). So, here is the ritual tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a very hearty "Happy Birthday!" cheer for the above mentioned quartet. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where we breathlessly await news from "Musher Central" on either the results of the dog race or whose bracket are they in. Nice to see the Eagles made it to the dance along with Gonzaga. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) Re: 2015 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race www.iditarod.com/ - Official Iditarod Site Re: Lance Mackey Update He and Jason are now out of Kaltag #37 and #38 Re: Berington Twins http://AlumniSandstorm.com/Xtra/Idit/BeringtonTwins.jpg Pretty as always... said they weren't running together this year, but they sure seem to be...
