I for one have always enjoyed the summer phenomenon of daylight savings time. Especially during WWII when it was double. That added hour or two of daylight did not make the grass grow any faster but gave me so much more time to enjoy the day. from running thru the hills near where I lived as a boy to the time I had with my kids as a young husband and father. and now as I rust away in my dotage, I dread the dark and dank winter months. when you get up it is dark and when you go to bed it is dark. But the sensible side was all the electric power it conserved. Something they are still seeking ways to do and is still the cheapest way to save energy. No low current appliance required; Just get up an hour earlier and use the light saved in the evening to cut electricity use in home and industry. I read of how you all enjoyed the staying out till the street lights came on. Well that added hour was the time you got to play kick the can or other games. you just did not realize it was an hour saved by getting up an hour earlier. Besides the added water the lawn required from that added hour of sunlight was minimal. PS : Maren the check is in the mail -Rex HUNT ('53wb) ~ downtown Hanford, CA (Heifer Dust Capital) which is not yet dark nor dank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [I LOVE Daylight Saving Time... I want to KEEP it YEAR ROUND... and do away with all this spring forward and fall back foolishness. -Maren] ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) To: Lynn-Marie HATCHER Peashka ('68) As a baseball fan, you should know that there is supposed to be an asterisk (*) by Roger Maris' name when ever mentioning the fact that he hit one more than the "Babe". As I recall, the rationale behind that * was that the season was longer and the purists of the era felt that because Maris had more chances at bat, he should be "differentiated". Not to mention all the hate mail that was generated because of the feat. To: Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) Re: Daylight Saving Time Maren: Write you congersperson a strongly worded letter about doing away with "Daylight Savings" time. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where there are still leaves on the walnut tree. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: What's it like Soooooo, the delinquents were having our Saturday breakfast at the "local" Denny's... there was an ad with a fork saluting... but better yet, the Special Vets' day celebration was held on... wait for it... here it comes... you got it... November 10th... the Marine Corps Birthday... wow... Even Denny's wants to be in Marines' good graces... I have decided not to rub it in... But I have always wondered (I have actually never wondered until someone points it out) what it must be like to be a younger brother... someone to look up to, someone to get you outa scrapes... someone to be the first to make mistakes so you don't have to... and sometimes, someone to take the heat... today we got one of those special younger brothers who has always been one of the neighborhood gang and what a pleasure to have grown up knowing him...
