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. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Ken HEMINGER ('56) Re: Hadacol For those old enough may remember the old line about Hadacol.. "Why did they call Hadacol Hadacol..? Well, they hadacol it something"... -Ken HEMINGER ('56) ~ Great Falls, MT 26° with freezing rain. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Larry MATTINGLY ('60) 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.

Larry MATTINGLY ('60) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Maren SMYTH ('63 & '64) 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!! **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Bill SCOTT ('64) 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) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Carol CONVERSE Maurer (Magic Class of '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... **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) 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. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Gregor HANSON ('65) The RHS Class of 1965 will celebrate the 5th anniversary of our 10 year high school reunion (50 years!) the weekend of August 21-22- 23, 2015, at the Richland Red Lion Hanford House Hotel.
