So what's the deal.

When I was a kid you got a sore throat, and you had three kinds
of cough drops to choose from, Smith Brothers (they of the
beards) Wild Cherry, Black Licorice and Luden's Horehound
Menthol. Pretty easy squeezee choices.

Today, having contacted the cold they were saving for Judas, I
was confronted with no fewer than nineteen options on the board
at Fred Meyer. I've "postulated" that there are considerable
other options in the Natural Herbs and Medicines Department of
Mr. Meyer's Emporium, but didn't feel sufficiently motivated to
investigate. They all cost like four bucks, which is probably
4000% of William and Andrew's offerings of 1958. There was 
probably a dozen Ricola choices, all of which I passed on 
because they had not been dry hopped, aged in oak or breathed
on by Virgins. I don't think we could buy lozenges at other than
Thrifty Drug or mercantiles of that ilk. At Fred Meyer you can
get Baby Wipes, Shot Gun Shells, Dog De-Worming capsules and
Easter Candy all on aisle 18.

When did it all change?

Re: Cold Remedies

Cold-Eze works very well, as long as you start taking them at
the first sign of a cold... they are zinc lozenges and you suck
on them... do not chew them... put them under your tongue and
let them dissolve... really does work IF you take them at the
first "sign" of a cold.  They don't work very well, IF you let
the cold "get ya". *grin* Also another good remedy is Zicam.
An old remedy is Vick's VapoRub, on the bottom of your feet,
then put socks on, and go to bed! I know, it sounds weird, but
it really does work... also rubbing Vicks' on your chest. my
grandmother would rub it on our feet when we'd get a cold and
my youngest daughter has always put it on her son's feet, when
he'd get a cold... it's even been on the internet and Face Book,
and you know they can't put anything on the internet that isn't
true. LOL

-Linda REINING ('64) ~ Bakersfield, CA   wish we'd get some of
        the rain that the Pacific Northwest is getting... I'd

Our wedding date of February 1, 1969 put us in one of the worst
snow storms to ever hit the state.

The Bride (Pam HUNT Cadd ('66)) and Groom (lucky me), Best Man
(Gary BUSH ('66)) and Maid of Honor (Peg WELLMAN Johnson ('66))
almost didn't make it home from Pullman for the wedding. (We did
miss the rehearsal.)

The day of the wedding all the roads in Eastern Washington were
closed. Our honeymoon was supposed to be in Spokane, but we
didn't make it any farther than Pasco.

I don't know how snow compares with rain in predicting marriage
longevity, but we've made it 44 years so far with no end in
sight. (We did make a verbal contract that, on anniversary #80,
we'd renegotiate the contract.)

I'm pretty sure Counselor Post-a-note, Esq. ('65) has fast

he no doubt is probably out back kicking at his Cussin' Rock, 
taking swings at clouds and having a Stella moment screaming at 
a street light like Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire", 
again realizing why he is still sitting at the card table.

It was some 56 years ago today that "Leave It To Beaver"

Just some observations from Russia, so glad in Western countries
I can keep my passport w/me, feel naked every time they take it
away to stay in a hotel, Best time to go to see Hermitage is 
now (guides say summer is impossible wall to wall people), the
difference between opulent St. Petersburg, the sm. villages we
saw from the train + over the top Moscow is extreme. Villages
remind me of 1920s, mostly dirt roads, but Moscow w/it's mostly
new cars and 4 turn lanes in downtown is just short of surreal.

Brother Leo's ('63) annual appeal to the management for "One

still being enforced, but we will again muster at 10am on
Saturday the 7th of December at River's Edge Restaurant on the
grounds of the Tumwater Golf Course in Olympia. As per tradition
we will start with the Fred SCHAFER Memorial Group Grope and
most - if not all - of the new business will be old business. 
Frank WHITESIDE's annual plea bargain for not attending, while
not yet received, has been accepted.

Put it down in ink and we'll see you before you know it. There 
are two more Saturdays to take the Grandkids to have French 
Toast with Santa, so that one won't work this year.

You'll be reminded a couple more times, but still write it down

Re: felt good

I had my port flushed on Friday morning and figured while I was
in the neighborhood I'd go across the street and say hi to the
great people at the radiation clinic. They were amazed at how I
looked including the doctor and I even got a few hugs. Now I
know my hair is definitely coming back as they made the comment
about how much it had grown since they first saw me the end of
June when I had my consultation to see if I needed radiation or
not. It hasn't been touched since early June except to remove a
few long hairs over the ears and the back of my neck. I'm
thinking it's about where it was before I started losing it, 13
days after my first chemotherapy treatment in April. I will get
a picture taken some time late this month or early next month to
put on a Christmas card so family and friends can see the "new
me". The only difference is the hair is basically white and has
some curl to it. The 3 pictures I sent into the Sandstorm last 
spring were on a card I had made for my new address.

Suddenly, we noticed Jan RUCKER Meyer ('55) out among the many
walkers doing the ALS walk. Tom and I jumped up, opened the door
and call out to her. She needed a break, so she came in to
Beaches for a cool iced tea. Jan RUCKER Meyer ('55) wanted us to
get a good picture of her shirt. Also doing the walk with Jan
was her son, Rob, her granddaughter, Kelsey, and her great
grandson, Dade who I did not get a picture of. Just as we were

Re: Meet my Pal Eddie

well it's been one of those few days... dunno why... just has...
missed Harvey IRBY's ('64) Day on the 6th and Susan SHERWOOD's
('63) on the 8th and Jimbeaux ('63) didn't even save me on
Susan's... what a guy... he sends me a note the other day that I
missed the airing of the first "Leave it to Wally's Brother" as
though he expected me to say something about it... now there
are some words I am forbidden from saying in the Sandstorm and
Jimbeaux knows good and well that Eddie Haskell's and Lumpy
Rutherford's good buddy's little brother's name is one of
them... I can touch it, I can caress it I can even carry it with
me if I wanna and show alla guys and girls what I got there 
with me but I cannot and will not be tricked by onna Mary Lou
WATKINS' ('63) spies... so just cause she's onna boat somewhere
on a huge canal, does not mean I can be tricked into saying
something for which I will be made to sleep in the back yard in
a couple a months in the freezing cold in our home State capitol
and I would not look forward to that any more than I looked
forward to be thrown in the Columbia last month which is why for
the last few months I have avoided getting in trubel... now you
may think that as soon as December is over I could go back to 
my old self... no no no... it doesn't work that way... you see
those girls have spies and they make sure to put out the call to
get together every now and then so Santy Claws ain't the only
one makin' a list and checkin' it twice so good try Jimbeaux but
no Cegar... but instead how bout a Spuddie for the B-day Bomber-
babe... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Vicki SMITH ('63) on your special day,
October 9, 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: GMC63MCCS Christmas Gala

Two months is all you've got, so it's time to start airing out
your Winters Finest for the something somethingth annual Gold
Medal Class of '63 Marching, Caroling and Chowder Society's Red
Sweater Cotillion and Christmas Gala.

Brother Leo's annual appeal to the management for "One More
Chance" has been honored. Our Double Secret Probation is still
being enforced, but we will again muster at 10am on Saturday the
7th of December at River's Edge Restaurant on the grounds of the
Tumwater Golf Course in Olympia. As per tradition we will start
with the Fred SCHAFER Memorial Group Grope and most if not all
of the new business will be old business. Frank WHITESIDE's
annual plea bargain for not attending, while not yet received,
has been accepted.

Put it down ink and we'll see you before you know it. There are
two more Saturdays to take the Grandkids to have French Toast
and with Santa, so that one won't work this year.

You'll be reminded a couple more times, but still write it down
on your calendar, right next to Jean Sibelius' birthday.

Re: Bad back and knees and a bit of luck

Several years ago I had an MRI on my lower back to look for the
cause of long-ongoing and worsening pains as I got older. The
results were that L1-3-5 (lumbar vertebrae) had "moderate to
severe arthritic degeneration". The advice from the doctor was 
to stop lifting anything more then 10 pounds or invest in a good
wheelchair. I was also told not to jog, run, or hike with 
a back pack. The rest of the story was that my knees were badly
worn also and should be replaced. Additionally I was not to 
use my climbing spikes going up trees and poles hanging various
fireworks apparatus. There are several forms of danger in 
loosing the use of a knee 40-60 feet off the ground on climbing 
spikes. 

Ok... so I stopped climbing and cut back on lifting and began to
think about what was I going to do. Watching the office manager
of my fireworks company go through near torture in a knee 
joint replacement was scary to say the least. Months of being
disabled, and now 2 years later she still has pains and limited
use.

Stephanie DAWSON Janicek ('60) and husband, George, hosted 
Jackie and I for several hours in their home recently and along 
with  catching up on news of families, she told me about the 
Zimmer process. Small incision and inserting a plate that she 
has in her knees works well and it quite satisfactory after 
several years.

I admit to being a bit of a coward thinking about surgery on my
knees. but a few months ago facing increasing pains in the knees
I started looking for a surgeon. I searched the far recesses of
the internet gathering info on candidates. I finally settled on
what seemed a rather obscure orthopedic surgeon at Mason
Hospital in Shelton, WA.

Facing Dr. Fredrick Davis in the exam room I found a very
affable guy with a genuine happy face. He asked what brought me
to Shelton and I said I checked him out and decided I was going
to trust him to keep me walking for a few more years. He asked
if I ever did fireworks at a certain harbor and I said yes and
asked if that was that where he kept his sailboat. He asked how
I knew he had a boat. I said "I did really check you out."

He laughed and sat on a little stool and rolled over to my 
chair and said "Put your leg up on mine." I had worn shorts for
convenience and he thought that was cool. He asked me what I
wanted him to do and I said "Whatever needs to be done with
minimal cutting preferred." He replied that cutting my knees
would only be done as a last resort. He turned on a large screen
on an "arm" and brought up my xrays from that AM. He then asked
me which one I thought looked worse. I pointed to the right one
that was bone on bone. But the left one is the one that hurts 
to move. He said he could take away the pain in 5 minutes. He
proceeded to stick a needle in the side of my knee and extracted
about 50 CC of "water" that was causing the pain. Using the same
needle he injected some kind of lubricant. He said "Walk around
outside a few minutes while I take care of another patient and
we will discuss your knees."

I will have an MRI Monday on my left knee as he feels I have a
torn meniscus that he can repair by scope in 30-40 minutes. He
then said that knee is not a candidate for Zimmer or any other
kind of appliance.

He said "Let's get that left knee under control and useful
before worrying about the right one." Then he brought out a full
sized model of a knee joint with the NEW style Zimmer installed.
Only if all else fails will we cut into you knee and install the
device. He described the operation as making a 3D MRI of your
knee and making a perfectly matched Zimmer that take about a
hour and 30 to 45 minutes to install in the bone of your knee
with one 3-inch incision. But we are going to try a new series
of injections in my right knee first. 5 injections 2 weeks
apart. They have found a way to manufacture the actual fluid in
knees and can now replace it and fix many knee problems without
surgery.

Now here is the incredible part of the story. Later that day I
was watching FOX National News and there was Dr. Fredrick Davis
in the same exam room I had been in, explaining his part in the
development of this new Zimmer insert, requiring minimally
invasive surgery, to the TV interviewer!

So I am feeling a sense of relief and confidence in my ability
to walk in the future. And I can now go upstairs normally
without dragging my left leg.

      Saturday and I am going to be able to mow my own yard.

Re: Bomber fun

So the phone rings... the Beach Boys doin' "Don't worry Baby"...
that's my Bomber ring... My daughter gets "God only knows" by the
Beach Boys... we used to sing: "God only knows what I'd do
without shoes" and then we'd laugh and laugh and laugh... much
funnier when one of the participants is pre-teen... but we still
say it even now... my default is "Smokey Joe's Cafe" by the
Robins... one of my all time favorite songs... along with... oh
nevermind... it would take days just to list my "most" favorites
before I ever got to my favorites... and then ya get to my
almost favorites and on and on... so the phone rings and I know
it's a Bomber, and it's a good chance it is either Jimmie ADAIR
('65-67) who w/famblie ('69; '08) spent a week down here so's
Steven could get is Drag licenses (count 'em two of 'em) in door
cars and dragsters... varooooooooooooooooom... top in the class
I might add... they said he was a natural... I was so proud of
him I hadda give him my Big Daddy Don Garlit's autographed hat
suitable fer framin'... the Swamp Rat be with you, Steven... or
if not Jimmie it would prolly be my illugitamutt son... well
what do you say when you say hello and you get: "Neener neener
neener, I'm goin' to Michigan and yeeeeeeeeeer errrrrrrr not
neener neener neener... " on the other end? I mean my first
thought was: "Better you than meeeee eeee"... but I bit my
tongue, knowing it's for a movie ("I'm not taking any more parts
no matter what" has lasted about a month)... dunno the name or
anything else but I'll find out sooner or later... I mean... I 
have been wearing long pants off and on for about a week now 
here in Vegas so I can only imagine what they are wearing in 
Michigan... especially the further north one goes! But I 
listened politely (I'm a very good Dad... huh... huh... huh)... 
well I think I am and my daughter thinks I am too so neener
neener neener... (that was soooooo inappropriate... it's awful
when we begin to sound like our kids... even our illugitamutt
ones)... Oh before I forget... Mary Lou WATKINS ('63) and Rick
MADDY ('67) Carolyn "CMoore" MOORE ('65) is coming to southern
California in November and I told her to look you guys up...
well actually what I said was: "for a good time call... " but
I'm sure she took it the right way... pretty sure... I think...
oh well I've blamed all the writing on the bathroom walls on
Terry WEBB ('63-RIP) before... should work again... now there
has got to be a reason for me being on here... I mean I've been
blowing b-days lately like crazy... of course! HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Re: October 2013 "Ladies of '65" Lunch

The October "Classy Ladies of '65" Lunch was held Friday,
October 11th, at the new Fujiyama Restaurant in Richland. When 
I arrived, I found Sandy BERRETH Grande sitting in the lobby.
Moments later, we were joined by April SNOEBERGER Jones! Sandy
and her husband (Everett Esterberge) are visiting from Warren,
MI, and April and her husband Terry leave next week for
Carlsbad, CA. 

Although nobody else joined us, we enjoyed getting reacquainted,
catching up on news about classmates, friends and family
(kids/grandkids), then enjoyed a delicious Hibachi lunch which
was prepared at our table. April and Sandy promised to attend
one of our lunches next spring when they return to the Tri-
Cities! 

By the way, the next Ladies of '65 Lunch will be Friday,
November 8th -- location TBD.

Good Morning Bombers!

I want to thank Larry MATTINGLY ('60) for his careful
information about the knee treatments. As a long time athlete I
have had knee pain in the recent years and do not run or play
tennis anymore, dance only infrequently. I was told in 2005 that
my choice was complete knee replacement. Not liking that idea I
cut back on loved activities yet still doing them. Cutting back
meant weight sneaked on.

After a dance foot injury side lined me again I took up hot yoga
(not Bikram) and over a 2-3 year period reduced swelling and
pain significantly. I am still with it. I ultimately lost some
middle age weight (15 or so pounds) and my knees do not hurt and
I can do longer yoga holds, climb stairs at Green Lake which
were impossible in my eyes.

Re: Good Luck and best wishes, my dear friend

Bomberdom... what a special place. Camelot had nothing on us...
and we know what the simple folk do, they love one another to
pieces. Some of us share our grief, pain and fears easily and
some keep them to themselves or share them with a very select
few. I became close to this Bomber because he was close to a
Bomber-babe I love and cherish. He had his doubts about me at
the beginning, as I am a lower-classman. I am always amazed at
how my friends I ran with in school know so many kids I never
met or never got to know. Part of it is the fact that when I
went to the Marine Corps I only returned for a short visit after
boot camp and then stayed away from my home for 20 years for
some unknown reason. I think I wanted to "be somebody" before
I returned. I didn't know the much loved Bomber-babe until I
happened to be in the wrong place and the right time and her
best Bomber-babe friend (with whom I'd been madly in love since
7th grade) yelled at me for being there. I have not met my dear
friend face to face to this day, but have come to love and
admire him as a brother... in fact we are brothers, we share a
similar ethnic heritage, we are Bombers and we are Viet-vets...
how much closer can ya get? So it is possible I could end up
getting thrown in the river or made to sleep in the cold in 
Oly in December for sending this post. I think it is much more
likely that Bombers and Bomber-vets will respond and give this
guy their love and prayers as I do here. Our friend, Doug
HAWKINS ('62) is going in for some long needed surgery on his
back on the morning you read this. Please think of his words
when he let some of us know his schedule: "I hope on the eve of
the 14th you will ask that the surgeon to stay sober, clear 
eyed and at his surgical best... and my best wishes to you all
also." I know you'll read this on the 15th... it still works.
God bless you, Doug, and our prayers and wishes are with you for
success and a speedy recovery.

Re: one of those guys

Ever have one of those friends that you can ask any dumb
question without fear? I've hadda few... that's the kinda guy
the b-day guy is today. I hadda friend like that and I am sure
Ida never made it thru the "rigors" of High School without
him... I mean like geometry... without him I might never have
made it thru... well I didn't zakly make it thru... I made a
deal after first semester that if I'd get out I would get a good
solid D... but if I stayed it was the old Feroo... but then he
told me that without it I'd not get into college and since he
said we wuz goin' to San Mateo Jr. College (not sure why) I
hadda finish the subject... so I signed up again... after an
hour of watching all those other kids with their stupid hands
inna air ("pick me pick me... I know I know") I went back to my
second PE... they guys were glad to see me and I wuz glad to be
back... then there was the SAT... he told me I hadda take it...
unfortunately I didn't realize I hadda sign up before I could
take it... so I sat on the steps of wherever we went to take 
the test while the rest of the kids were taking the test... 
man, that red tape was way too confusing for me... so as I was
sayin'... whenever I have a question, this is one a the guys I
know I can count on... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, David HANTHORN ('63) on

Re: We are the Bombers... mighty mighty..

First a note to say that Doug HAWKINS' ('62) surgery went well
and he should be back resting in his own bed. Jerry FREE ('62)
picked him up and drove him home from Little Rock where he 
had to go to have it done and they should be safely back in
Oklahoma... Thanks to all who sent their love and prayers.
Again, I can't get over what we Bombers do for each other...
outsiders just can't understand... "He ain't heavy, Father, 
He's my Brother" could be the motto of all Bomber classes and 
it crosses classes as well. I've always told people that we are
more like siblings than neighbors and when one gets cut we all
bleed. I believe that more firmly every single day.

Gotta do a group hug today cuz I'm headed to the California Hot
Rod Reunion again, as I do every year... one of my favorite
shows! The combination of the smell of cow doo doo and nitro at
the Famosa drag strip is something that must be experienced to
be appreciated... thank goodness the nitro lingers a little
longer on the way home... I gotta pologize before hand to John
CAMPBELL ('63) cuz I'm not much of a picher taker... John is
great and puts together the best slide shows of the shows he
attends... When my dear friend was alive, she used to make us
all CDs of all the pictures she took every year and even a few
videos of Cacklefest for good measure, but we haven't had those
since the last show she was able to attend in 2009. I'm pretty
sure my camera is sitting in a chair next to me so I'll dig thru
the pile of stuff and see if I can find it... but there ain't no
geruntees... While I'm away I will be thinking: HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Lynn-Marie HATCHER ('68) on the 18th and Leo WEBB ('63) on the

Re: breast cancer hike

I participated in a breast cancer hike up Badger Mountain on
Saturday. They told us the shorter, steeper trail was closed for
repairs. I befriended a nice lady who is just starting out with
her radiation treatments so neither one of us knew if we'd get
all the way to the top to release our balloons. Come to find out
she's a Richland Bomber class of '74 and I think she said she
now lives in Benton City (if you read this. email me please as 
I never caught your name). Well, we both decided after several
stops to rest a bit, we were going to make it all the way up. 
We hardly ran into others with pink balloons and wondered if, 
indeed, the other trail was open after all. When we got to the 
top, one of the doctors and others from the clinic were there 
to greet us with water and apples. They took a picture of each 
of us with a very large pink balloon display fastened with a
tether. I also got them to take one of me with my camera and I
ended up with 3, don't think they thought my camera was working
as I had issues earlier with batteries but thankfully a had
several spare ones with me. They told us the environmental people
nixed the balloon release at the top as planned. They had
however purchased biodegradable balloons and string. We each
wrote something on our balloon and with the doctor looking the
other way we released our balloons (shh it's a secret). They
told us the other trail actually was open and even though it's
steeper we went down that way. About halfway down every time I'd
step on my right foot it felt like my big toe was going through
my shoe. I got home and took off my shoe and sock and found a
large hematoma under my big toe nail. I thought I best have it
checked especially with the cancer diagnosis. I went to a clinic
and the doctor used a probe and got most of the blood out but as
he was doing so he noticed the nail was pushed halfway back. He
elected to remove the entire toenail and said I had runner's toe
which I had heard of. I was lucky I guess as only the one toe
was affected. He put some antibiotic cream on it and showed me
how to change the dressing and what to look for in case any
infection sets in. He also said it may be a year before the nail
comes back totally. A word to the wise. He asked me when my last
tetanus shot was and I told him '05. I guess starting in '06 
they started adding the whooping cough vaccine to the tetanus 
one so if you haven't had one since '06 perhaps it's time you 
update your shot.

I usually have an issue with differentiating betwixt Stars,
Celebrities, Lumaneries, Trend Setters, Heart Throbs and Icons.
I'm relatively certain that when you are identified with only 
one name, you've pretty much arrived. There was Jackie, Trigger,
Annette, Elvis and Marilyn, no need for last names. Now there is
Oprah, Jay, Willie, Cher, Madonna, Ali, #32, Ellen, and the 
other Ellen. There was also no names like the Sultan of Swat,
Champagne Tony, Eddy the Eagle and The King of Pop. 

The Birthday Boy could be ID'd with only one name as well as by
"The King of Rock and Roll", so that makes him a really Big Deal
in my book. Happy Birthday to Jim "Pitts" ARMSTRONG ('63). May
you always have enough quarters to feed the Juke Boxes of the

Damn, it was 43 years ago today that I climbed the steps onto a
Seaboard World Airlines flight from Travis Air Force Base to Ben
Hoa with stops in Anchorage and Kadena. Upon my arrival in the
Republic of Viet Nam, after being nearly brought to my knees by
the heat and smells, I swore I would never again take one of what
was rumored to be Lady Bird's DC-8s. That is until 42 years ago
tomorrow, when in Cam Ranh Bay, my name came up on the Freedom
Bird board for a Seaboard World Airlines flight back to the
World. After passing the newly imposed "departure test", this
time I couldn't board fast enough. The wheels came up, we sang
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" and some of us wept. Not so much for
ourselves, but for those who looked forward to but never knew
that feeling of relief.

I have often thought about what I took to Viet Nam and didn't
bring back as well as what I didn't take but brought home. About
the results of my time in country and the effect it has had on
other people's lives. And finally who might I have been had I
never gone.

To all my brothers and sisters who earned the yellow, red and
green ribbon, welcome home. We are who we are, and only we know
that special camaraderie that our time together brought.

Re: Vietnam POWs - 40 years later (12 minutes long)
  http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=LemllfcAY8A&sns=em

Thank you, Karen, for your post and link to the Vietnam POWS. On
my last assignment before retirement from the Air Force, I worked
for a POW that was in that bunch that was released in 1972, Col.
Willard Gideon. He was shot down over North Vietnam in 1966 and
was a POW at the Hanoi Hilton until his release in 1972... I was
looking for him in the video but didn't see him. He was such a
nice person, not at all like some of the other officers I'd
worked for... see the link below. As it turns out, when I retired
from the Air Force, I went to work at EDS Corporation and my
recruiter was very familiar with Ross Perot's desire to help
veterans. So, when I flew to Dallas for my final interviews my
recruiter said "I want to show you something." He took me to the
seventh floor of the EDS building where Ross Perot had his office
and just outside of the office was a huge painting of a Vietnam
pilot, signed by many of the POWS and to the left of the pilot's
head was the signature "Will Gideon". I was so impressed and have
always looked fondly at Ross Perot for his desire to help vets...
like Col. Gideon, he is a true patriot!

Re: Hanford File Safes

Many of you worked at Hanford and were familiar with the safes
there were in many offices. They were a large heavy 4 drawer file
with one drawer having a combination lock. They had a good fire
resistance time also.

There must have been hundreds of them in surplus as things closed
up. Does anybody know if there are any for sale anywhere? We
would like one for personal papers in our house. The only good
buys on safes in Seattle-Tacoma areas are gun safes. Regular file
safes and other useful sizes and configurations with any kind of
fire protection time are all well over $1000. Yes there are small
safes available at reasonable but the fire time is short and if
you don't anchor them in concrete the thieves just carry them
off.

Re: Interesting side tale about a safe

What seems like eons back in time... I was a manager for SRO
Theaters at the time. Late one night a large truck with Acme Safe
Company on the side, parked on the sidewalk in front of one of
Seattle's largest theaters. "Love Story" was on if I remember
right and the safe was full of $. The "Acme" crew in grey
coveralls with the name on the back, was lowering the safe down
the stairs from the office and it got away from them and crashed
through a glass door. But they boarded it up solidly with plywood
and loaded the safe into the truck, and disappeared. Police did
see the truck but thought all was OK as that kind of moving work
is often done at night in busy downtown areas. The "perps" were
never caught.

However... months later two young boys playing near a cliff that
they should not have been close to... spotted a safe in a ravine.
It was identified as the safe from the theater. It had been
beaten, drilled, and torched. Officials decided it was not worth
getting a crane to haul it out of there and started to leave when
one of the boys asked what about the money in the safe? The
officials said the money is long gone from that safe. The small
boy said no it isn't, look. With that he stuck a small stick in a
hole and wiggled it and opened the door. If nothing else the old
magnesium ball shaped safes were near impossible to get into. The
money was intact. The boys and their families got lifetime passes
to SRO theaters.

Re: Wedding Pictures

We finally got wedding pictures organized, Jackie has been down

Today [10/24] is Jim "Pitts" ARMSTRONG's '63) birthday so I'll
respond on his behalf to hopefully prevent an apoplectic attack
on Pitts' massive cerebral matter. "Be Boppa lulla" is nowhere

Thank you, Karen, for posting this great piece on the Vietnam
POWs and their homecoming. 

I was in Vietnam in 1972-1973, USAF Photo Intelligence. I hadn't
thought of it for a long time, but I personally processed secret
intelligence photos taken when our aircraft were in Hanoi to pick
up the POWs. Hanoi had forbidden us from recording any of it.
But, obviously, we didn't report to that authority.

Great tribute to those men who held true in that horror.

Re: Coming Home

Thanks, Jimbeaux, for a beautiful summary of what it felt like
for those who flew home.

I left on a C-130, headed for Udon Thani (Udorn), Thailand. Our
instructions were to form up at the front of the plane if we were
shot down. The pilots carried side arms, our only defense. I
wasn't particularly reassured.

Karen,

Thanks for the video, it was great that President Nixon had all
the POWs to dinner at the White House.

In 1973 I was 20 years old and onboard the USS MIDWAY (CVA-41).
We had been deployed to Vietnam waters for almost 10 months. We
were in port in Subic Bay, Philippines when the first group of
POWs landed at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.

Many of the squadron pilots went to Clark Air Force Base to see
if any of the POWs were MIDWAY pilots that had been shot down
during the war. There were one or two POWs that were from the
MIDWAY and it was the talk of the ship during our return to the
San Francisco Bay area. 

We went under the Golden Gate Bridge on April 10, 1972 on our way
to Vietnam and returned March 3, 1973.

In doing some light 'remodeling', I came across a little plaque
(like a small name plate/identifier) with 2 holes to be nailed
onto something. Apparently made of brass, it says: C. O. FLAKE
PH. 58197 803 DOWNING ST. RICHLAND, WASH. Anyone have an idea
who this was? It would have been made quite some time ago. (Note
the phone number and the abbreviation of Washington.) I don't
believe I've ever seen the last name Flake before. 

All goes well, here, except that I'm still not 'unpacked'. Trying
to figure out where things will go and getting storage (ie, book
shelves) arranged to take them, is a long slow process for me. As
the house gets fuller, I am less enchanted with it. Many things,
including furniture, will go to Union Gospel Mission in Pasco. I
need to call and see if they pick-up.

You might want to check military surplus sales (if they still

that the combination lock on the top drawer served to lock all

I called it Badger hump as it is not all that high, after walking

Now that I have moved from the city to the country, I am

There appears to be a lot of companies making these types of food
and of course there are various prices.

Does any one have experience with the purchase of this type of
food and are there preferred vendors?

I am currently looking at "Wise foods" and "Patriot Pantry".

how it affected them.

And I'm hoping that that positive note of the Richard Nixon Fund
remains, as I think he did try to do positive things as our
President, and I hope to remember those positives as well, sadly,
as the disgrace he left office under.

I am getting some notices from classmates. I am so surprised and
don't know why those kids were not at our 50 year High School
reunion. But struggling to keep up with e-mail and facebook, 
I just can't take anything else on to try to keep up with... 
I think I've seen Pat TRUJILLO's ('62) name on there, and Fred 
VanPATTEN ('62), any relation to you, Ernie? Well, if you don't
want to answer that I understand. My own brother, Roy CROSS ('65)

Re: "If ya wuz gonna change yer name

I hope my memory never fails on one of my favorite quips from
Jackson KEENEY ('65) across the court yard of the DI in 2000
while the b-day guy was sitting on one of those little concrete
seats further back in the yard... set my poor illugitumut son
('65) back a few paces and it rings in my ears to this day...
both Jackson and my boy Terry call me often and my mind tends to
wander back to that fun evening... I think it would be the next
night that the b-day guy would serve us with chili and Cornbread
at the cafeteria... I still recall having a wonderful talk with
Vonnie REED ('60) and how Ricky WARFORD ('65) cornered poor Kippy
Lou BRINKMAN ('62) as she and I were reliving old times... I
finally had to excuse myself and drag Rick off to find someone
else he could harangue... Terry and Richard TWEDT ('64) wore the
same outfit that night, which I have always thought was fitting
considering they both "shopped" in the same stores and recall 
the same event of "boxing" that occurred all those many years
before... I still think Terry blames the whole thing on Lyman
POWELL ('65)... but have forgotten the particulars though I do
think it had something to do with Terry KRUGAL ('65)... I'm sure
there are only two classes that remember the event at all ('64
and '65) so if you have no clue what I'm referring to ask one of
them or just ask Dick or Terry... so to finish the quote up in
the "re"... why didn't you pick somebody famous like Ray STEIN"

Re: Ladies of '54 October lunch

Guess it's not too late to give notice to a kind gesture from one
of our men "floaters" of class of '54, "Lefty" Dave KUNKLER!!!
He showed up at our lunch Friday (10/18/13) to celebrate "his"
birthday. His way of celebrating was to buy everyone's lunch!!!
Thank you, Lefty!!!!! From all of us!! Some ladies couldn't be
there, but will take a "rain check"!!' Jim MEFFORD came with his
wife, Jeanette DUNCAN ('54) and got in on the deal! 

Everyone keep Marguerite GROFF Tompkins ('54) in your thoughts
and prayers, as she is not doing well. In hospital for a couple
days with bladder infection, and as some of you know she is
suffering with Alzheimer's, so she gets upset easily. Thanks to 
her daughter, Pam TOMPKINS ('74), who lives with her, she is 
being well taken care of at home.

To: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54)

Have meant to thank you, too for always mentioning date of our
ladies '54 lunch a few days before. Can you believe, I forgot
this last one, but made it in time, 30 minutes late, to have a
sundae for dessert, since Lefty was buying!!! Appreciate!!!

To: 1954 Classmates

2014 is our 60 year class reunion as I'm sure you all are
thinking about!! Any local classmates who are interested in
starting our planning, please contact me or Jim MEFFORD ('54) so
we can get some meetings set up to collect ideas and make our
reservations wherever we are going to celebrate!! Never too late
to plan ahead!!!

Call me or e-mail me or Jim.

Let's plan a fun reunion!!!! btw... I will do another bio booklet
if it's what everyone would like. At least I would like to do one
with everyone's up-to-date name, address and contact information.
So that can be sent to me and I will get started!! Hope everyone
is in sturdy health to be able to travel next September for this
BIG SIX OOOOO!!! Thanks.

Re: Two Good Buds

We gots us some b-day guys spanning quite a bitta time, both of
whom I consider good friends... Each of these Bombers has very
distinctive characteristics and can be spotted by them at a
distance... the younger of the two had a fantastic sense of humor
and wore these great Buddy Holly glasses... the elder of the two
looks like the younger of the two and that is NOT a commentary on
the younger's looks... the elder looks younger than most of us...
he never ages... I am pretty darned convinced he has a portrait
of himself hidden somewhere and someday I mean to find it! I
spent hours of fun with the younger during our school years, but
am pretty sure I only knew the elder from seeing him around here
and there... we certainly never had a class together and I don't
think I ever had a class from him... I recall my PE teacher quite
clearly and can still hear two comments he made to me as though
they were yesterday...: In third grade it was: "David Rivers,
you are the slowest human being on the face of the earth."... a
true statement... and the other always was uttered as I walked 
in to Hi-Spot my Jr and Sr years...: "OUT!" Ah, the trials and
tribulations of youth... I sure hope these two Nevada Day guys
enjoy their day so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Rex DAVIS ('49) and Bobbie
"Tuna" MATTSON ('64) on your special day, October 31, 2013!!!!!!
