Re: Extrey Extrey
READ ALLABOUTIT: Now it is a given that the Tooter is
virtually (not totally) clueless about sports... one need
only to harken back to the day he was asked to announce the
B-ball game at R2K-2 and he sat between Gary WEBB ('64) and
Roger FISHBACK ('62) totally silent as the Bombers played the
Bombers in the Game of the Decade as the Bombers pulled one
outa the hat... Now I do know enough to recall two of the
great b-ball players of my era as Numbers 32 and 10... What
many of you do not know is that Denny NALDER ('65) (he will
always be a Bomber notwithstanding the next few words) moved
to Richland during the 6th grade when the Tooter was chosen
to show him around Jason Lee and introduce him...
Unfortunately for us, he would move to Alaska after the 9th
grade... He would also go on to be one of the top 100 B-ball
players in the Nation his Senior year... he went on to be a
coach in Ideeho... Now as the consummate Bomber, Denny has
always participated in the '65er activities and, as luck
would have it kept in touch with Jim HOUSE ('63) and Ray
STEIN ('64), referred to, respectively above... Now being
the youngster I am... having barely reached middle age I
have great respect for my elders (I think Denny's a couple a
months older than I), I have followed the Senior Games held
in St. George, Utah, in which the three Bombers mentioned
herein have played together and done quite well over the
years... Though number 32 has not been able to participate
for a couple of years (certainly not for lack of desire), the
others have carried the torch for him... I have received news
from our roving Reporter, Terry DAVIS ('65), that Ray and
Denny's team took the Gold this year by one point! This year,
the Senior Games had a larger turn out of Athletes than the
recent "official" Olympics, with 11, 220 athletes competing
from 34 countries... How bout that! So let's hear it for our
Bomber Stars... Hip Hip Hoorey!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Happy Birthdays
Happy Birthday to two of my most favorite people!!! A big
shout out to Karla BIERLEIN ('71) on her special day. I've
known Karla since pre-kindergarten and remain in contact to
this day.
The second birthday boy is someone I've known since our
sophomore year at Col-Hi. A hunting and fishing partner,
someone I've chased women with, and a fellow WSU buddy as
well. Happy Birthday to Rob FRENCH ('71).
-Brad WEAR ('71) ~ in Plano, TX where we're still in the
high 80s, and yes, the dove hunting is still great.
