Well I see the Junior Gyrene is bragging about his terpsichian
abilities, which, according to many aren't worth the thought. I
know, I know, don't tick off the judge. Well, there it is. And
the old sympathy trick is still working to some extent.

Above all that it is time to celebrate the birthday of a Bomber
Babe whom I remember from back in the day; and who may or may
not be very, very, very, very distantly related. There is also 
a rumor that she may be married to a fellow classmate of mine. 
I cannot confirm or deny this rumor at this time. Be that as 
it may, a tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a hearty "Happy
Birthday!" is in order for Charlotte CARLSON ('52). May the
Arizona sun shine on her day, but not as bright or hot as it 
can sometimes be.

       ninety° weather is scheduled to return by the middle
       of the week

I seem to remember some time in the mid fifties (wow, doesn't
that sound like long, long ago?) in a window store front,
uptown, west side, near the north end, a painter doing
demonstrations of wet on wet oil painting, he used two colors
on a white canvas, like a dark blue and burnt sienna. I am
thinking it was Bill Alexander mentor to Bob Ross. Or I am
having some kind of flash back caused by to many paint fumes 
and watching an old episode on PBS. Just wondering if anyone
else shares this memory or is it just me? These kinds of things
are coming up far too often any more.

      back to the sunshine.

Re: sticky note

Well with the Commencement of the two-day celebration at the 
B-day Bomber-babe's house I found that it was time to do my 
sticky note for the next few weeks... It just dawned on me that
the B-day babe married a younger man... so ha ha ha ML ('63) you
hadyer chance and you blew it... now ya gotta Grizzly with no
hair... but a damn good golfer... and father, husband and friend
and and and ok you dun good even tho he's a non-believer in the
"cult"... I must say I'm getting stirred up over the reunion...
I mean some of these kids I haven't seen since school and some
for ten years as I missed our 45 year (that's a nuther story)...
some I see at least once a year and it's not nearly enuff...
Allegiant scheduled the Sunday flight for right when we'll be
having a memorial... reminds me of the one at '63's 50 year...
Bill WILSON ('63) and Lamont DeJONG ('63) brought tears to
everyone's eyes and I spilled my water all over Dave SIMPSON
('63) but they let me stay anyway... I will be winging my way
over Richland but the names of our loved ones, passed on and
infirm will be in my heart... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Judy BOGGS ('64)
on your special day, August 17, 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
