Re: vitamins

All I can remember is the Cod Liver Oil. I don't think my parents
gave us any vitamins, unless it was the Chocks or something we
could chew. The oil was yukkie!!! I think that was when we were
sick. Not sure!! 

-Marilynn WORKING Highstreet ('54) ~ Pasco   with freezing rain
      and freezing temps today. Will warm up Friday and weekend 
      to 40s.

Re: TCH Negative destruction Friday, 12-5

Jackie called my attention to the fact that the Tri-City
Herald will be destroying or throwing out 57,000 negatives from
their files on Friday, December 5th.

All persons are advised to speak up if there are any you might
want.

Last Chance!

Re: '64 in '14 - video

People are starting to ask me -- AGAIN -- where is the video that
they ordered (and PAID FOR). "4 to 6 weeks for delivery" now
means 3 MONTHS? Our reunion mid AUGUST... it's now going on FOUR
months.

-Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) ~ Gretna, LA  where I paid $2.53/gal for
      gas day before yesterday and yesterday I saw $2.45/gal!!

Re: The Rail Queen

For all of my loyal readers out there and my fans yet-to-be, I am
pleased to announce the publication of my new novel, The Rail
Queen. This is the fifth in my Tales of Strong Women series. Like
all of my previous books, The Rail Queen is built around a strong
female character (don't worry, men, there's plenty of action),
seventeen-year-old Swedish-American Montana schoolgirl Ryka
Sundstrom. Ryka has the outlandish notion that her fascination
with steam locomotives can lead to building her own railroad. It
also leads her to a great deal of trouble.

The Rail Queen is available in paperback and ebook at 

   https://www.createspace.com/5028104

amazon.com, and kindle. I get the biggest royalty at CreateSpace.
It also may be ordered through me, though I won't have my personal
stock in for another week. You may read an excerpt at my website,

http://www.bjscotthistoricals.wordpress.com/ . Thanks to all my
loyal fans for waiting, and Happy Reading!

      [Ordered from https://www.createspace.com/5028104  
       easy peasy.  THANKS, Bill. -Maren]

-Bill SCOTT ('64)

COD LIVER OIL... that was the name of that stuff I was trying to
think of! It's funny what things we remember, but I can bring up
exactly where my mom and I were standing in our bathroom and her
giving that stuff to me. I was in grade school at the time.

-Carol CONVERSE Maurer (Magic Class of '64) ~ Kennewick   where we 
      got freezing rain last night. Not as bad as last week 
      though, but still...

Re: No way

Could another year have gone past... zooooooooooooom is about all
I can say... I should have got up in the middle of the night to
write this one... I do some of my best writing trying to go to
sleep... and, well this is one a those VERY special HBs... I must
say I tormented this Bomber-babe from 7th grade on... you cannot
imagine my shock when I learned at grageashun that we would not be
walking "down the isle" together... we had been next to each other
in everything else alphabetical since forever... As I have said,
many times, I have always been more than slightly naive about
pretty much everything academic... from the day Johnny REED
('63wb) took me to school on my 5th birthday (me thinking "OK I'm
five... time to hit the books") thru going to take the SAT test
and Tony HARRAH ('65) forgetting to tell me I hadda sign up
somewhere) to and including Law School (what do you mean they post
assignments on the board before the first day of school)... I just
guess I never quite got it... as I could never memorize (I know
this makes no sense), but had a photographic memory... when I was
interviewing for my big job I was still calling Martindale Hubbell
"the big phone book"... those are the huge volumes you see on 
TV and in movies when they show Lawyers' offices or Judges'
chambers... nuthin' in there but firm resumes, addresses, and
phone numbers... oh and ratings... mine is Premier AV if you were
wondering... (la te freaking da)... so to get back to where I
think I was... we did not walk down that or any other isle
together... but she's always been a special lady in my heart...
lest you get me wrong... her kids AND her husband ('64) are
special to me as well... but we would always be close and I am 
so very glad that has been the case... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Janine
RIGHTMIRE ('65) on your special day, December 5, 2014!!!!!!!

-David RIVERS ('65)
      P.S. Be thinking of you as I wing my way to Ellen's
      ('63) in Wikiup and to have brunch with some girl named
      Carol inna red sweater with the rest of the Gold Medal
      Class of '63.
