Who was that Masked Man? Did you get your decoder ring/badge? Don't forget to save those box tops so you can. Wow! Another Bomber Babe birthday slipped by me. She is one of the younger ones of my recent acquaintance. Met her at one of the first Portland Bomber lunches. What ever happened to those? Guess the Tooter is following in the footsteps of the recently disgraced judging by his comment about this young lady. A belated tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a "Happy Birthday!" to Linda McKNIGHT ('65). Hope you and Denny have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ at sunny, but cool, Mount Angel, OR ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Larry MATTINGLY ('60) Re: Shirley COLLINGS Haskins ('66) Re: Richland Bomber #7 Football Player Thank you for the info on Adam WEISSENFELS ('18). After watching the constant efforts of that young man in that championship game, I am not surprised to learn of his academic success. It bodes well for his success in life in life. -J. Larry MATTINGLY ('60) ~ From Anchorage House: ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: David DOUGLAS ('62) My son underwent three procedures on Saturday, one to clip off a large bleeding ulcer in his esophagus, an angiogram to look at the artery to his second transplanted liver (the artery was completely blocked, but the doctor felt that peripheral arteries could keep the liver functioning), and an exam of his hepatic vein (which showed the liver was getting enough blood flow to remain viable). He was sedated, put on a ventilator as he was having trouble breathing, and given transfusions and platelets to try to stop the bleeding. They were going to do a CAT scan to try to find where he was bleeding, but when they tried to move him his vital signs began to drop, so that was cancelled. We visited him Monday and Tuesday. His vital signs were below normal but seemed to be steady. On Tuesday we were almost back home when the nurse called and said we should get back immediately as he wasn't expected to survive the night. His blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation were very low. The doctor said he had two massive infections and none of the antibiotics they tried made any difference, including one so rare Rodger was only the second patient to ever receive it in the hospital. A few minutes before 5:00am the doctor began talking to us about suspending life support, other than what was needed to keep him comfortable. We agreed, as that had been Rodger's wish if he was in this condition. Then Rodger took the decision away from us. His heart stopped at two minutes before five. The past four months have been as hard on my wife and me as it was on Rodger. He was supposed to come home Tuesday, my birthday, but he had another Home to go to instead. It will be a hard Christmas - he never got to see the 9-foot tree with colored lights he liked at Costco, but he's at rest now. I value all my classmates who have comforted me. There's no family like the Bombers. -David DOUGLAS ('62) ~ Mesa, AZ ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Dick BOEHNING ('63) Re: Richland Bombers My son sent me this trailer.
