Good for you to stop him cold! To: Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) We had the same poor luck trying to see the Changing of the Guard as you did. I was amazed at the thousands of people there to watch. The weather was perfect and afterward we walked along the path and stream. Lots of birds (the names of which I have forgotten) and one cute little heron. To: Ed WOOD ('62) Thank you for posting your photo of your viewing of the Changing of the Guard. Great photo! Weather in Richland today, Friday. Last day of July: After sitting in the sun, the car thermometer read 121° when I went out after day time Pinochle. In the shade at my house, it went down to 106°. I suppose our Arizona compatriots would think that's wonderfully cool. I hope to go to Alaska next week! Bomber cheers, -Marilyn "Em" DeVINE ('52) ~ in roasting Richland *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) How about that? We've arrived at the 1th of August. There is a younger Bomber Babe of my acquaintance who celebrates her 18th birthday today. Not only that, the Alumni Sandstorm was "hatched" on this date something like 17 years ago; who figured. Therefore, a tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a "Happy Birthday!" for Ann ENGEL ('63) and a "Happy Anniversary!" to the Alumni Sandstorm. May you both continue in good health. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the temps may be coming down a degree or two. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) To: Ed WOOD ('62) Re: Changing of the Guard Picture http://AlumniSandstorm.com/Xtra/Woo/150731-GrdChg.jpg What a great picture, Ed!!

It has been seventeen years since our editor in Bomber-babe started this little rag and it's still runnin' strong!!!!! Way to go Maren ('63 & '64)! [I can't take all the credit... Gary BEHYMER ('64) is the Bomber who REALLY started it... I just picked up the ball and ran with it -- with a LOT of help from Richard ANDERSON ('60). -Maren] -David RIVERS ('65) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Brad WEAR ('71) Re: Aug 1 One month until hunting season opens here in Texas. The dove are thick this year, so are the snakes. After a very wet May and June, July finally got hot and the land has cracked wide open. I was watering my backyard and the cracks (some over 4 inches wide and I have no idea how deep) when to my surprise out pops a 4 ft Copperhead. Luckily it was in flight mode and went under the fence. If you don't like bugs or snakes, stay away from Texas. -Brad WEAR ('71) ~ in sunny, hot, Plano, TX *************************************************************** *************************************************************** Bomber Memorial >>Pam HOF Loomis ~ Class of 1990 ~ 1972 - 2015 Bomber Memorials *************************************************************** *************************************************************** That's it for today.
