Alumni Sandstorm ~ 07/18/15 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4 Bombers sent stuff and INFO on 2 Bombers today Mike CLOWES ('54), John BROWNE ('61) Mike BRADY ('61), Helen CROSS ('62) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** BOMBER BIRTHDAY Today: Ann BOREN ('54) BOMBER CALENDAR: Richland Bombers Calendar Click the event you want to know more about. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) "Golleee!!!" to quote the Junior Gyrene's favorite marine. Time to report the birthday of another Bomber Babe from The Class of '54. That's right, folks, a Bomber Babe that I went to school with, but, unfortunately, don't remember too well. Except that she is a Bomber Babe. With all that being said, I shall now tip the ol' propeller beanie and say "Happy Birthday!" to Ann BOREN ('54) on the occasion of what purports to be her 21st. At least that's what will be told to the bartender at the Uptown Tavern, should he/she ask. Truth be told, I don't think she would frequent such an establishment so we could change the locale to the Tahitian Room. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where 90° or better have been forecast for today and tomorrow. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: John BROWNE, Jr. ('61) Read the bad news about a mysterious sturgeon die-off, on both sides of McNary Dam recently... but was happy to see that Col-Hi grad Malcolm CHUNN was interviewed to some length about the issue. He has obviously kept up with fishing the river locally. It's always reassuring to see some knowledgable eye-witness observations in news stories, instead of only 'expert' conjecture (although I take it all in). The story I read was in the Seattle Times on July 16. I hope that "the powers that be" can figure this out... and, if possible DO something about it. ^..^ -John BROWNE ('61) Peace... the affordable alternative *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Mike BRADY ('61) Marilyn "Em" DeVINE's ('52) entry about her visit to France reminded me of our experience in Paris last month. When we returned to our flat on the evening of June 20 there were three police officers in our room. Someone had kicked in the door and made off with my wife's iPad, our Kindles, my head phones, two credit cards, medications, cash and a few other things. We spent most of the following day dealing with police reports and bank and medical issues. It was not a fun way to spend our last days in Paris. -Mike BRADY ('61) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) Re: Enjoying being back in Jolly A lovely day in London using the tube and British Rail again, walked across the millennium pedestrian bridge (not available when we lived here '96-'oops), saw a Shakespeare play at the globe, and ate a sandwich and a drink (diet coke with ice, the Brits know we love ice) outside looking at the River Thames on a sunny, breezy great day to be in London. http://alumnisandstorm.com/Xtra/Cro/150718-00.htm -Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) ~ loving being in England again. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** SERVICES TODAY Re: John WORRELL ('59wb-RIP) A grave side service TODAY, July 18, 2015, at 4:30pm at Sunset Gardens in Richland with a reception to follow at Events at Sunset located on the Cemetery grounds.
