Re: Rex DAVIS'('49) 90th Birthday on 10/31

Hello Maren,

I am dating Rex DAVIS' son Gary and we are holding a
celebration this week for his 90th birthday. I understand 
that you have had the china virus and I am really sorry 
about that. 

Is there any way to get this info out to your Sandstorm
readership? I know it is short notice, and most likely most
won't make it, but it would mean a lot if they would send a
email or a note.

If there is any cost, let me know [No cost, Karen. -Maren].

Thank you!!!

We will be adheering to all stte and United Methodist masking 
mandates in place at the tme of the celebration.

Sorry, but no update from me on Maren's request. Not sure if
it would do any good to look those people up on Ancestry.com.
Might lead to an obituary.

That is not the case here as I will take some space to wish
Ann Thompson, aka Anna May WANN ('49) a "Happy Birthday!" on
10/28. Just don't let the bright lights of Bellevue lead you 
astray.

Re: Maren's "E" Award
http://alumnisandstorm.com/Xtra/Ham/211025-E_Award.jpg

I decided that Maren should have an actual "E" to either stick
on her computer or some other place around her work station.
I wanted to find a white letter, but had to settle for a black
letter with a white background. I mailed it along with my
check for next year's subscription' which I usually send in
December. That way I can send two things for one stamp. Maybe
we should start hoarding "forever" stamps. You can bet the
price of postage is going up, too.

Re: National Pumpkin Seed Day - 1st Wednesday in October

https://www.nationaldaystoday.com/national-pumpkin-seed-day/

The Health benefits from Pumpkin Seeds are much more than you
probably realized!

Studies show that the antioxidants in pumpkin seeds also
increase nitric oxide levels in your body. This molecule works
to keep your blood vessels smooth, flexible, and healthy,
improving blood flow and reducing the risk of heart and
circulation problems. 

BETTER SLEEP
Snacking on pumpkin seeds before bed may help you get a better
night's rest. Pumpkin seeds are a natural source of
tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes sleep. The zinc,
copper, and selenium in pumpkin seeds can also affect sleep
duration and quality. Finally, studies show that magnesium can
help reduce stress and anxiety, contributors to insomnia.

NUTRITION
Pumpkin seeds are rich in vitamins and minerals like manganese
and vitamin K, both of which are important in helping wounds
heal. They also contain zinc, a mineral that helps the immune
system fight bacteria and viruses.

Pumpkin seeds are also an excellent source of:

	Phosphorus
	Magnesium
	Iron
	Potassium
	Copper

NUTRIENTS PER SERVING 
A quarter-cup serving of dried pumpkin seed kernels contains:

	Calories: 180
	Protein: 10 grams
	Fat: 16 grams
	Carbohydrates: 3 grams
	Fiber: 2 grams
	Sugar: 0 grams

PORTION SIZES
Because pumpkin seeds are high in calories, limit your
portions to the recommended serving size of about one-quarter
cup. The seeds' high fiber content can help regulate your
blood sugar and make you feel fuller, however, lowering the
urge to overeat.

HOW TO USE PUMPKIN SEEDS
You can find pumpkin seeds with or without their shells at
grocery stores or scoop them straight from a whole pumpkin. If
buying a prepackaged product, look out for added ingredients
like salt that reduce the seeds' nutritional value.

Pumpkin seeds make a great snack on their own, and they're
easy to add to many meals and recipes. 

Great ways to get pumpkin seeds' small-but-mighty health boost
in your diet include:

  Add them to smoothies
  Mix them into granola, yogurt, or cereal
  Use them to add some extra crunch to a salad
  Garnish any meal, like soups, chicken dishes, or pastas
  Blend them with other ingredients in a dip like hummus, 
pesto, or guacamole
  Bake them into cookies and breads
  Toast or roast them in any spice or seasoning for a 
healthy snack

To: All Bombers and Maren

Maren, this flag's for you, for so long and so well have
served the Bomber Family my thanks and admiration. This is the
E Award flag presented to Hanford employees in October 1945
and the last time it flew, 2016.
