If you've never heard of peoplepc.com, I'm not surprised. It's an old dial-up ISP, now owned by CenturyLink (I think). It costs about $85 a year, but paying that is easier than changing my email address with dozens of websites. I'm still using Microsoft's Live Essentials Mail 2012, which Microsoft obviously doesn't like. This week I opened my email program to see that I had 930 unread emails since the previous evening. For some reason, Mail 2012 likes to restore emails that I deleted, sometimes several years past. This time (it's happened many times before) the oldest one was 2015. I have a separate folder for members of a writers' critique group I belong to - 9 members in the group. Saturday I had 780 unread emails. Fortunately, it's easy to find them. The senders' names all have a quote mark in front that normal emails don't have. I sort by name, highlight the first and last emails with quote marks around the senders' names, and press the delete key. But it is annoying. -David DOUGLAS ('62) ~ Mesa, AZ where we've ordered a heat pump for our swimming pool so we can swim year-round ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Mary Lou WATKINS Rhebeck ('63) Dear Jefferson classmates, I have been sorting through old pictures... again... and came across two you all may like. Re: First is a Christmas picture of Mrs. Warren's Ktgn Class http://AlumniSandstorm.com/Xtra/Wat/191118-63Jeff00Kxmas.jpg Although I can't put names on every face, I recognize several... and I am amazed again that we still see each other at reunions and are friends! {Same as this pic? http://rhs63.tripod.com/63Jeff00Kxmas-Warren.html Looks like the same tree and wall decorations... but completely different set of kids. Maybe one morning class and one afternoon class? -Maren] Re: Now the second picture is a little more problematic... http://AlumniSandstorm.com/Xtra/Wat/191118-63Jeff3rdIndians.jpg I think it must be third grade (Mrs. Viola Price)... we are obviously studying native Americans... but hoping we don't get in trouble for wearing "brown face"... It wasn't our fault! Hail Hail to Jefferson! -Mary Lou WATKINS Rhebeck ('63) ~ Laguna Hills, CA Sent from my iPad ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Patti McLAUGHLIN ('65) Re: Medal of Honor Winner OK, I'll brag. Yesterday my son, James Cleavenger, received the Medal of Honor award from the Oregon Peace Officers Association. They gave out some 80 awards on Friday night for the past year. The Medal of Honor is their highest award. They gave just 2 teams and 2 individuals this award. James is a policeman and an attorney in Oakridge, Oregon. In February, he singlehandedly took down a knife wielding murderer, saving the life of an elderly woman (and probably her husband). And he did not use a gun or a taser. The knife ended up impaled in the wall. While I am very proud of him, I also love him, and would prefer that he was ON the Bench rather than in front of it! -Patti McLAUGHLIN ('65) ************************************************************* ********************** HEARD ABOUT ************************** ************************************************************* Bomber death #191 in 2019: Penny HOLT Walter ('74-RIP) ~ 1/25/56 - 11/6/19 ************************************************************* ************************************************************* That's it for today.
