A belated tip of the ol' propeller beanie is offered in condolence. He is a fellow classmate and a nice guy. If you see him, say hi. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where it may or may not be raining - depends on which cloud is overhead. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Sara Ousley, aka Ann BISHOP ('56) To: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) My "senior gyrene" status only refers to AGE, not rank. Cougar??? ME????? Not a chance. Even as a teen I preferred my guys to be "older, wiser and more mature". I've raised my kids and not looking to raise another one. YUK Widowhood is better than that! I probably wouldn't fit too well into the "Bomber Babe", category, unless, of course, that only refers to being a Bomber graduate. -Ann BISHOP Ousley ('56) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Donna BOWERS Rice (Gold Medal Class of '63) Re: This is just too much! Hearing that Class of '63 lost 4 Bombers in three weeks makes one want to have a group hug to soften the news. Marcia SHORT Dean ('63-RIP) ~ died 9/17 Dick ROBERTSON ('63-RIP) ~ died 9/21 George BARNETT ('63-RIP) ~ died 10/5 Ken HINRICHS ('63-RIP) ~ died 10/8 I am so grateful that our GMClass is so thoughtful to let us all know, so we can remember these fine people... thank you Linda! You are a treasure. Love seeing their HS pictures, helps me remember Marcia's laugh, George's quiet goodness, Dick's handsome smile and love to dance and even though I didn't know Ken well, this is way too many too soon. Feel so fortunate to belong to a class that loves to see each other's kids and grandkids on FB and shares their thoughts on Sandstorm... makes me glad I am a Bomber. I know that this is special. No one else I know still gets a HS newsletter every morning! -Donna BOWERS Rice (Gold Medal Class of '63 so many super-star caring people in this class!!!) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Len REDISKE ('66) Re: Purple Panda Hi there all you Bombers out there! Does anybody from the middle '60s remember the hot car Purple Panda? I am building a model and would like to see if there are any pictures of the car from that time. Here's to all you gear heads out there. Please contact me if you can help out. Thanks a bunch. -Len REDISKE ('66) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** Bomber Memorial >>Dennis DALL ~ Class of 1957 ~ 1939 - 2014 Bomber Memorials **************************************************************** **************************************************************** That's it for today.
