It came in 2 days and I've already started reading it. I'm only in chapter 1, but I'm hooked already! Thanks, and keep writing. -Deedee WILLOX Loiseau ('64) ~ Burbank, WA ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Dennis HAMMER ('64) Re: Daylight Saving Time (DST) As I recall, DST was decided by the states, then the Federal Gubberment passed a law that said it was still up to the individual states, but if you did go to DST it had to start and end on certain days so it would be uniform among states that engaged in this simi-annual stupidity. Because of the "energy crises" in the 1970s either Nixon or Carter put us on year round DST, but I don't remember which and don't know if it was a law or by executive order. Reagan did not end DST, but he did revert it back to being only for "the good old summertime." I think DST was one of the factors leading to the demise of the drive-in movie theater. I was told a couple weeks ago that the Milton-Freewater drive-in was now closed, but I don't know if that is true, I think I was told that before, but a year and half ago they were showing a movie as I drove by. Also I think between six months and year ago they were on KNDU Ch 25 with a segment showing they had spent the money, and it wasn't cheap, to upgrade to showing the movies with digital projectors in order to stay in business because movie film was now obsolete. Re: Fireplaces In the '70s they were encouraging everyone to build houses with a fireplace to save heating energy. Almost all new houses were built with a fireplace. Then in the '80s they were telling everybody not to build a fire in your fireplace because of pollution. Nowadays I don't think many houses are built with fireplaces. -Dennis HAMMER ('64) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: Semper Fi We all know I could not possibly name all Marine Bombers so instead I will simply say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL BOMBER MARINES (1775)! And Marines everywhere! From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea; First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in ev'ry clime and place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsULYSptaj4 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Gene CONLEY ('48-RIP)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Jim HEIDLEBAUGH ('65) Re: Marine Corps Birthday Happy Birthday Marines.
