And that just happens to coincide with a Bomber Birthday. To say I knew this guy when might be stretching it a bit. But I did know him. As rumor has it, we even graduated at the same ceremony. And it could have been outside, if someone hadn't been frightened by the appearance of a cloud over Badger. A tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a "Happy Birthday!" to Bill WENDLAND ('54). Keep on having them, and we'll possibly talk at the big do come this September. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where high pressure seems to be back for a while and fending off any form of precipitation. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Jack ALEXANDER ('55) Hello Alan AVERY ('54)!!

"Chuck" WILEY ('60) who passed on February 13, 2017. What an interesting life he led. He was a talented visual artist and musician. He worked for George Lucas on special effects for Star Wars, Indiana Jones and many other movie sets. He also was an accomplished musician, playing bass, guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo for a variety of bands including the award-winning "Phantoms of the Opry". He was the beat behind the Old Time Music band, "The Road Oilers, playing bass and singing with his lovely voice. RIP buddy!
