Writing from Lincoln City, Oregon today. Another very nice trip
under my belt. (Lots of good sea food, too! **grin**) There are
about 7 Richland Bombers on this trip. Super good company.

To: Larry MATTINGLY ('60)

Thank you so much for sharing information about the Concord
Grapes. I have one vine at my house and last year (2014) I 
had a great bunch. Made jelly, gave a few gallons to the Union
Gospel Mission in Pasco, shared with Meals on Wheels and anyone 
else who wanted some. Last fall I had it trimmed/pruned by
professionals. This year is a completely different story. Had
very few grapes but lots and lots of leaves. Wondering what feed
I should give it and when? Also when to prune? I kind of watch
the vineyards but that may not be enough. Thanks for any help
you can give. I googled pruning but I don't think I "got" it.

Re: group hug

Gotta fly out to a seminar early inna morning and I just
looooove flying these dayz... the night before I get all yucky
in my stomach wondering what wonderful adventure will await
me... will I have removed alla my bullets from every nook and
cranny, will I have something else they find offensive like the
AK 47 round I used to carry on my key chain... what an adventure
that was... here I was trying to get thru Sea-Tac with some AEC
contraband all worried they'd hold me for it and instead they
want me to throw away an empty round I'd carried since '67 or
'68... prolly '68... on the same key chain was a 6 foot Porsche
key that looked like a sword... ok not 6 foot but very big...
this was before the shoe bomber so after being escorted to the
curb by two line backers I put it in my shoe and shuffled
thru... arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh... nuthin's easy... last night I
noticed this wrinkledy old people's skin on my calf... when you
pinch it... it stays that way... I thought only 100 year old
people got that... Geez at the reunion I was marveling at
Cecilia BENNETT's ('65) buff self... and here I am looking like
the Ancient Mariner... for about 3 months I have been trying to
remember to take a buncha oil to the recycle place... they 
hide their calendar on the web site and I forgot to put it in
favorites so an hour later I finally found it... they only take
oil every other week, three days outa that week so at least I
had the right week and day... off I trekked with 11 gallons of
oil (yeah I procrastinate but the place ain't close)... having
failed to notice that the oil guy leaves at 1:00... yup I got
there at 1:10... Well all I can say is I certainly hope this
gaggle of Bomber b-day guys and babes have great birthdays...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Roy CROSS ('65) on the 24th; Bethie PARKER
('63), Ann LINK ('63) and Hector ALVAREZ ('64) 9/25 on your
special days!!!!!!!!!!!!
