[Dangit! Sun Bowl score: WSU-21 ~ Cental Michigan-24] -Jim "Pitts" ARMSTRONG ('63) ******************************************************** ******************************************************** >>From: Linda REINING ('64) To: Don Sorenson (NAB) Re: Pearl DROTTS ('64) You had the relation to Cecil Drott(s) correct - he was Pearl's father. I have heard from a few Bombers with information on/about Pearl, and the last anyone knew, she was still alive. I haven't had a response to the letter I sent her, but am hoping to hear soon. Had two phone numbers for her, but the "land line" constantly rings and the cell number is no longer a "working number". Thanks for your help with this. -Linda REINING ('64) ******************************************************** ******************************************************** >>From: Phyllis CUNNINGHAM Coates ('64) Re: Joey WEBB ('88) Joey, son of '64 Bombers Gary WEBB and Kathy HOFF Conrad, has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). His friends are having a fundraiser this Saturday night, January 8th, 2022, at 6pm at the Knights of Columbus in Richland. There will be a spaghetti dinner and silent auction to raise funds for his care. Donations are accepted. -Phyllis CUNNINGHAM Coates ('64) ******************************************************** ******************************************************** >>From: Don Sorenson (NAB) Re: 1957 PRTR Model To: All Bombers 1957 model of the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR to those who worked there). For many years you could see the silver dome on the South end of the 300 Area. About 15 years ago a Bomber came by my Safety EXPO booth and we talked about his Hanford experience. I think his first name was Jerry, an electrician at PRTR. Jerry told me about an accident when a tool he was using came in contact with 440 buss, it blew him off what ever he was standing on and fell several feet. Jerry said "I was incredibly lucky to be alive". Jerry passed away a number of years ago and was a contributor to the Sandstorm. -Don L.
