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! -Dick PIERARD ('52) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Barb ISAKSON Rau ('58) 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. Jerry Irwin Regency Nursing Home at North Pointe, Room #107 1224 E. Westview Court Spokane, WA 99218 -Barb ISAKSON Rau ('58) ~ Richland -Barbara HORTON Peterson ('58) P.S Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** That's it for today.
