Re: Burt Pierard's ('59) birthday

Today (Friday) marks another millstone (as I once heard some old
Southern guy say) in the life of my esteemed brother, Burt. We
owe him much for his efforts in the enabling the preservation of
the B reactor, and his ongoing involvement toward securing the
creation of a Manhattan Project national park. When he was here
in North Carolina last spring, we drove over to Tennessee one day
and toured the museum, visitor center, and what remains of the
Oak Ridge plant. This completed our personal visits to what we
regard as the four principal sites of the birth of the atomic age
in the USA. The others were of course Hanford, Los Alamos, NM,
and the Trinity Site within the White Sands Missile Range in N.M.
where the first plutonium bomb was set off and only is open to
visitors two days in the year. If there is any other place of
equal significance that we have missed, let one of us know,

So to him goes a tip of that legendary propeller beanie. Who
knows how many other projects he now has in various stages of
development and we will eventually read about? Happy birthday
BRO! Duly recognized by this Rotarian as a true Kiwanian!

Re: Update on Jerry IRWIN ('58)

He's just not doing so well and also has given up on drawing, but
he just has heard that he may be excepted in one of a nursing
home in our area. He's been wanting to come back to Richland for
a long time. This is his home town... where his family is and his
stomping grounds and friends are. So let us give a extra prayer
for him to get his wish.

  Regency Nursing Home at North Pointe, Room #107

Re: kinda hard to splane

It seems I may have confused a few people with all my talk about
Wikiup... Now inna town fulla kids born of the Manhattan Project,
it should be a simple matter of thinking the problem thru... you
may wonder how one can get from Wikiup to my little Golf Course,
"Rivers Edge" in Tumwater in the amount of time allotted... 
oh ye of little faith... a simple algorithm using a time-space
dislocation theory and a slight amount of quantum physics reveals
that the use of leaded gas in a given vehicle going 60 MPH oh
wait... maybe it's a train leaving St. Louis at 6pm traveling 
40MPH and a train leaving L.A. at the same time and traveling 
53MPH will meet in Margaritaville at exactly 4:00 allowing the
given vehicle to proceed uninterrupted thru the dimensional hole
created in time for brunch at the Rivers Edge... got it?  Ok...
if not, please call the birthday Bomber-guy and he will splane
the whole thing to you in layman's terms... till then, HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, Burt PIERARD ('59) on your special day, December 12,
2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
