Jim has bled green and gold for 80 years…yet he has more than enough of that colorful fluid on tap to last until the good Lord calls him home. You will find Jim at every Club 40 function available. He drives to the Tri-Cities from Sacramento, CA with his beautiful wife, my WSU sorority sister Edna McKeown (NAB, but my class recognized her as an Honorary Bomber at our 50-year Reunion). Public speaker extraordinaire, Jim entertained for a half-hour at Charlie GANT's ('53-RIP) funeral – and emceed our 60-year Reunion, held always in conjunction with Club 40. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for being a true friend. Edna treated him at his favorite Italian restaurant on May 8. Bomber cheers, -Norma LOESCHER Boswell ('53) ~ in warm, sunny Richland *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Carol CARSON Renaud ('60) Re: The Darned Computer I agree with those suggesting a fund to compensate Maren for the new hard drive (and if that doesn't work - maybe a new laptop). I'm in for either - - - Maren, can we assist? -Carol CARSON Renaud ('60) ~ Lynnwood, WA where the weather will be spectacular all weekend *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Mike BRADY ('61) Mary Jane BRADY Wagner ('63-RIP) Sad news…My sister, Mary Jane BRADY Wagner ('63-RIP) passed away last night [5/7/15]. About 3 weeks ago she was walking a large dog. The dog jerked quickly and she twisted her legs while trying to control him. As a result, she fractured both legs. They were casted and she was not able to move much. Apparently blood accumulated in her leg due to inactivity and a clot broke off and went into her heart. Mary Jane was the kindest person I ever knew. She had many friends. We will miss her. Life is fragile. -Mike BRADY ('61) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Donna NELSON ('63) Driving home from subbing a week in kindergarten I don't know why I thought of what sayings I heard as a child and wondered if we all did like "eat, there are starving people in China" or "if you stick your tongue out, a crow will poop on it" or my uncle said (not to me!) "You sound like a man with a paper butt" and..."You're as worthless as tits on a boar" (maybe to me!!). There were more but can't remember all because I'm relaxing with wine and need to muster up courage to go back into the classroom for 3 more days. And Maren, You just need to increase our donation. I know all who read daily or whatever and whenever will gladly help out. -Donna NELSON ('63) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Gary BEHYMER ('64) Re: Maren Maren... for those who enjoy paying it forward, what is your mailing address? -Gary BEHYMER ('64) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Marsha GOSLIN Brehm ('65) and Gary Brehm (KHS '64) We just mailed a check today to Maren to cover our Sandstorm dues and to help with her computer upgrade. Hope other Bombers will do the same! Thanks again, Maren, for all you do for us. We're also sending thoughts and prayers for your upcoming eye surgery. -Marsha GOSLIN Brehm ('65) and Gary Brehm (KHS '64) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** That's it for today.
