As someone recently asked: "Just how much daylight have we saved and where is it?" If you can give a reasonable answer to that, there maybe a place in government for you. More important things to deal with, and I'm not talkin' sex-ed here. Couple of birthdays to get to; one is an older Bomber Babe and 'tother is a younger Bomber. I know both of them basically through Club 40. They were more than helpful during my tenure as president of that organization. And, don't confuse her with "Auntie Em" who is someone altogether different and fictional. A tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a "Happy Birthday!" goes out to Marilyn "Em" DeVINE ('52) and Dan HAGGARD ('57). Hope the sun shines brightly for both of you on your day. Maren: What happened to them tigers? Tide too high perhaps? -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR wondering what the Apple Cup will be like this year. Meaningful, perhaps, comes to mind as both the "Dawgs" and the "Cougs" are on top of the Northern Division. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Steve CARSON (Championship Class of '58) To: Jim HAMILTON ('63) Jim, Say, I have the same problem with food spots. I think they are making forks smaller. :) To: Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) Maren, In your aside comments about Daylight Saving Time changing do you realize that you used "powers that be" and "smart" in the same sentence? :) ;) :) :) -Steve CARSON (Championship Class of '58) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Larry MATTINGLY ('60) Re: Spot remover To: Jim HAMILTON ('63) For years now I have used the same spot remover. It is "Resolve Stain Stick" It is an oval tube about 6 inches long. Remove the cap and rub the spot or stain with the stick that is inside. There I a knob on the bottom to keep moving the stick up. After rubbing the spot you can drop in the washer or wash a week later. It is really rare that it does not remove the spot. It is even more rare that the second try doesn't work. I have used it on denim, cotton, wool, and nylon with equal success. I buy a couple of sticks at a time and the last ones I got from Albertsons. -J. Larry MATTINGLY ('60) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Pete BEAULIEU ('62) To: Jim HAMILTON ('63) Re: Canlis lobster bibs Jim HAMILTON ('63) mentions that the Canlis restaurant in Seattle no longer supplies lobster bibs, especially to the drooling elderly. Here's the scoop about the Canlis clan of our generation... Peter Canlis of restaurant fame had two sons, Tony and Chris. Our paths crossed in the 1960s. Tony was in my five-year architecture class at the University of Washington, and we even did a few group projects together. By his account, what he really wanted to do was draw cartoons and ski (he excelled at both), but his father insisted that he get a college degree. His cartoons were on a par with the artwork in Mad Magazine. Draftable in late 1967, we and ten others from our class of forty-five graduates all made a pact to go to Navy OCS in Newport, Rhode Island, and to do nothing having to do with stale drafting boards. Line officers and pilots every one, and no construction battalion engineers (CBs or Seabees). Both of us were assigned to aircraft carriers, Tony as the public relations officer on the USS Midway. Nearly three years later at the Bremerton Naval Shipyard we crossed tracks again, and he escorted me to his lofty shipboard--his light-hearted laughter trailing behind us. It seems his commanding officer (a four-striper) was ticked off about Tony's cartoons making light of shipboard foibles, and had order him to knock if off. But, as fate would have it, his was a flagship and the admiral aboard (infinitely more than a four-striper) had taken a liking to navy humor and, unknown to the captain, ordered Tony to bundle up a dozen or so of his cartoons and submit them to the world-wide weekly Navy newspaper (All Hands). The mother of all jokes was when the commanding officer opened his copy and found inside a full two-page centerfold featuring the cartoons together with Tony's bio and photo and an endorsement from the admiral. The other tale possibly worth mentioning is that Tony was one of those physical specimens who excelled at swimming as well as skiing, and who was destined to never show his age. After the University swim team, and as his role in the Friday night athletic competitions at OCS, Tony entered two or three swimming events every week for the entire eighteen weeks of his cadet training. I watched some of these. For the two-lap butterfly he usually finished two-thirds of a lap ahead of the second place finisher. He won all of his events except one which he tied. In 1980 (now at the ripe age of 36) he was on the United States Olympics swim team, but the entire team stayed home that year in protest to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In 1984 (now at the very ripe age of 40) he came only one meter short of making the team again. As for Tony's brother, Chris, he and I found ourselves standing together in the military induction line at the Seattle waterfront complex in the summer of 1967. A rare coincidence. Chris was a more cerebral history major from Stanford. Later at the Navy flight school in Pensacola he made the highest scores ever achieved at the school. All he wanted to do was fly a jet, but with those achievements he remained grounded as an instructor. And for his part, all Tony wanted after OCS was to be a Navy SEAL, but the quota was filled for his entry month, and one of the best swimmers of Navy history ended up writing bland articles and secretly drawing cartoons on a flat top for jets. After the Navy Tony first worked as a wine merchant and eventually took over management of the Canlis restaurant in Honolulu. Chris is the one who stayed in Seattle and at the Canlis discontinued supplying free lobster bibs for Jimbeaux. -Pete BEAULIEU ('62) ~ Shoreline, WA north of Seattle, but never been to the pricey Canlis. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Marie RUPPERT Hartman ('63) To: Jim HAMILTON ('63) Jim, Lance ('60) has the same problem. He is partial to wearing white polo shirts. I gave up and just throw the spotty shirts away and buy him a new ones. Works for us. -Marie RUPPERT Hartman ('63) ~ in still frostless Richland ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: lotsa November babies!
