Only we aren't gonna be at Rosy's. which is a shame. Hope that situation clarifies soon. I would guess the Girls of '54 are gonna hafta join the "Guys" at the Burger and Brew place. There's always the Atomic Brew Pub in the former A&W building on Lee. But enough about that. We are here to celebrate the birthday of a Bomber whom I graduated with. Neat guy who did things. With all that being said; a tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a "Happy Birthday!" shout out for Carl VOLMER ('54) [on 9/6] with the hope that he will show up at the modified "Big" birthday party in Red Lion dinning room. I am assuming that this is the Richland Red Lion, not the one in Kennewick or the one in Pasco. I dont think they have one in Burbank. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the rains may return following the Labor Day weekend. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Jim RUSSELL ('58) Re: Tri-City Herald Am I wrong, confused, or just getting old? Didn't the Tri- City Herald used to be an afternoon paper and the Columbia Basin News a morning paper? Or maybe it was the reverse. I know several years ago I used to subscribe to the Seattle Times (evening) and the Seattle P.I. (morning). Then the Times switched to mornings to kill the P.I. (which they eventually succeeded in doing). Now the Seattle Times (printed locally) still can't get a final score for the Mariners or an update in the standings if the game at Safeco Field runs into extra innings. Cheers -Jim RUSSELL ('58) ~ Mountlake Terrace, WA - 60° and cloudy at 2:30pm - waiting for a return to summer ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Patti McLAUGHLIN ('65) Re: Gene Bernard richlandbombers.com/classes/1950s/1957/gs/57LC6th-Bernard.html Thank you, Maren, for searching out Floyd MELTON's ('57) picture from Lewis & Clark. I LOVED Mr. Bernard. He taught science when I was in junior high at Chief Jo. I took an early morning science class from him in 8th and 9th grade. We studied geology and aviation. Our field trips were GREAT FUN. When I returned to Chief Jo as a 9th grade English teacher, he became a good personal friend. By then, he was the vice-principal - the enforcer. One of my favorite stories of him was when some boys skipped class and were outside in one of the evergreen trees. Gene went out to have a smoke, but they thought he was on to them and were so scared that they fell out of the tree! Gene took full credit for "smoking them out." -Patti McLAUGHLIN ('65) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Betti AVANT ('69), Judy WILLOX ('61) Margaret EHRIG Dunn ('61), Pat DORISS Trimble ('65) Re: All Bomber Lunch ~ aka Patti's All Bomber Lunch To: All Richland/Col-Hi Bombers Ding dong bell school is in session and all is well.
