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. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR ******************************************************** ******************************************************** Entry from Pete BEAULIEU ('62): 10/7/21 SS has (in part) "Ye Old Richland History October "Oct. 20, Major General Leslie Groves, etc. were in Richland to present the Army/Navy "E" Award (for excellence)." ******************************************************** ******************************************************** >>From: Dennis HAMMER ('64) To: Pete BEAULIEU ('62), Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) 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. -Dennis HAMMER ('64) ******************************************************** ******************************************************** This reminder will be on time next year ******************************************************** >>From: Linda REINING ('64) 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 -Linda REINING ('64) ******************************************************** ******************************************************** >>From: Don Sorenson (NAB) Re: E Award http://alumnisandstorm.com/Xtra/Sor/211025_E_Award.jpg 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. -Don L.
