Re: Gasoline price!!
Hey Maren, been watching your gas prices from the deep south,
that you have been letting us westerners drool over... how about
this?!! Filled up the Buick on regular gas at the Costco station
in Aloha, Oregon today $2.27!! Can you beat that??
Happy Holidays all you Bombers!! :)

Linda REINING's ('64) post about snow (in Idaho] proves she is
nuttier that a payday bar...
Wow our dry spell has ended we got almost 3/4 of an inch from
this storm. Sun is out and temps back in high 60s Can hardly wait
till its back in mid 80s... just to make Linda home sick we are
expecting some fog by Tuesday.

Wow! From celebrating the birthday of a much older Bomber; we
now come to the birthday of younger Bomber Babe. There is some
talk going around that this is her 21st, but I know it is only
her 19th. How do I know this, you ask? Hey, we went to school
together and sat in the boys' gym for graduation together. If
that's not enough, too bad.
A tip of the ol' propeller beanie is in order; along with a
hearty "Happy Birthday!" cheer for Dorothy STAMPER ('54).
-Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the
weather guessers have postponed the rain until Tuesday.
Well, they'd like you to believe that.

Just wanted to wish all Bombers every where a happy Christmas
season!!
We went to a holiday party today in Hope and didn't even have to
wear coats!! it's been 48° all day here, even after it got dark!!
Quite a switch from our usual frost, snow or ice, or our best
winter scene when it only rains!!
But the weatherman keeps telling us the white stuff is coming!!
We'll take every no snow (or ice) day we can get back here!!
-Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) ~ Hope, IN

Re: Love Bombers!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the B-day Bomber-babe is one who is so very special to me and
has been for a long time... known her most of my life... never
dated her and when it was once suggested we get together we were
both kinda shocked and burst out laughing at the same moment...
some friendships are better left as is... but first a little
update on the weekend... rained like crazy alla way to Huntington
Beach Friday afternoon... Sarah treated us all to lunch before we
left... at my house, we looked at the hub of the almost new pick-
up we were going in to check out a noise... all seemed fine so
hit the road... noise really got loud and we checked it again
before going to the motel... now hub seemed a tad lose... called
MADDY ('67) for a garage referral... the sleepy time... got up
early for the Donut Derelicts and then to the garage the minute
they opened... they gave us a ride to the pier where we met Rick
for a nice breakfast... and great conversation... the Boyz are
way impressed with Rick... specially Magoo as he did 5 tours in
Vietnam... I called Mary Lou WATKINS ('63) to thank her for the
wonderfully sunny and HOT weather... she was doing laundry (I
think that's kinda like a girl saying "I hafta wash my hair when
ya ask her out for a date)... so she didn't meet us... Garage
picked us up and then to Moon Eyes thru the 605 traffic... got
there and started looking for the Rat Fink booth... I spotted
Irene Roth's brother, LaGrand from way away (love my new glasses)
mainly because he is as big as a small house... a whole bunch of
our finky friends were hanging out at the booth... Jeff DeGrandis
and Kenny Michroni who have been wild and crazy buds since they
met when Kenny was doing Lion King and hired Jeffy to work on
it... they are famous for many movies including Finding Nemo and
Cars which Kenney got to make in a trade off deal with Sony...
several of his friends are portrayed by cars... Magoo was the '59
Chevy... took a million photos (not me no camera) of the gang and
Ilene gave us each a "family portrait" of the Fink family... Ed,
Ilene and the Rat Fink hiself... and a new Rat Fink Christmas
shirt... then off to the brush off... great food and
companionship and headed home around 10:30... Got to Magoo's and
I finished the ride home in my F-1 as his place is all the way
across the Valley and didn't want the boys to hafta drive me alla
way home then back to Magoo's for the nite... I got in around
2:00 am... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... realized this
morning I had wished Donna BOWERS ('63) an HB on her
anniversary... no clue why I had it on the yellow stickie... sure
wasn't on my cheat sheet... a special "thanks" to Jimbeaux ('63)
for the updates on Rosalie ('63) and Chuck... so as I was sayin',
I have felt particularly close to the B-day babe for a very long
time and am so very happy to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Marsha
GOSLIN ('65), on your special day, December 15, 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
