Today is one of those kinda days; sad on one hand and happy on
the other. Sad for followers of "The King", no matter which
version, on this anniversary of his passing. So those of you who
are fans; I'm sorry for your loss.

Re: See Red

Now, on to the happy news. It's birthday time! That's right,
today we celebrate the birth of a Bomber whom I went to school
with, maybe even spoke to him at some time during that period.
Now he holds forth north of Bomberville in a town noted recently
for a red football field [Eastern WA]. Well, he taught there,
and still plays his trombone there [Cheney].

A tip of the ol' propeller beanie and shout of "Happy
Birthday!" is in store for fellow classmate, John BRUNTLETT
('54), along with many happy returns of the day.

-Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR  where the
        streets got barely damp during the last rain "threat"; 
        guess we have to wait for fall or winter.

McLAUGHLIN ('65) wants to embrace me... woooowsie... been
waiting for that... since about 3rd grade... good things come to
those who wait... I was a bit surprised that Friday nite we are
having a ripple party... guess we shoulda upped the price for
the reunion... thought we might have advanced to something with
a cork by now... A good friend and fellow Marine, Sgt. Richard
BRUNELLE ('65), USMC is in a VA care center and won't be making
the trip... PTSD and Malaria... I think I may have taken one
malaria pill in 13 months... had one buddy who walked into 
D- land the day after he arrived home and they found him with
Sleeping Sickness!!!!!!!!!!! I can only thank God that S/Sgt.
RIVERS, USMC has only a broked neck and back... can't dance but
I get around... oh wait... I can horizontal mombo... don't wanna
burn all my bridges... just can't dance onna floor cuz sometimes
my leg does it's own thing (but embracing is still good)... hmmm
where is all this going? Anyway, Terry DAVIS ('65) and Cecilia
BENNETT ('65) are gonna send Richard a Col-Hi reunion shirt...
way cool... Terry says he's getting the tooth I knocked out 
in 6th grade fixed again before the reunion... that'sa good
thing... hope it doesn't hurt cuz I'll hear about it all week
end... geez it was 6th grade!!!... gotta play Judge the day
before I head for home... shoulda bowed out but they said it was
a case that had been before me earlier and wanted me to handle
it... I can think of two I can't wait to come back... word to
the wise... don't piss off the judge... OK nuffa this stuff...

I managed to insult thru the SS when I was trying to pay a
compliment who has become a good friend... so HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
