A collegiate national football championship has been decided on the field of play (except for some die-hard TCU fans). I am of the opinion that it was decided after the Rose Bowl game when Nike came up with new uniforms for the Ducks. For what ever reason, the Ducks were not true to the Green and Gold, and haven't been for some years. With the new R-cloud logo on Building 1000, we can only hope the Bombers hold true to the Green and Gold and certainly not some funky variations of those colors. That's my story and I sticking to it. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR Go Dawgs, Cougs, and Beavs in that order. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Carol CARSON Renaud ('60) Re: Spudnuts A Guy my brother, David CARSON ('76), works with just found these. Funny to think there were that many Spudnut Shops at one time. Thought you might be interested.

Don't recall relaxing with extraterrestrial math/physics, but your desert drive rambling reminds me of crossing the high Nevada plateau in late November while moving to Maryland to begin my intelligence career post- USAF/UW at NSA in '72. Wolfman came in clear from a San Fran station, and for a while I got the signal of KJR out of Seattle (maybe multibounce, but it lasted a long time, so possibly troposcatter, or is that only LVHF?). I had built a doghouse as my wife called it (pine frame and interior paneling walls - what was I thinking?) on the back of my '72 Mazda B1600 and slept in it in a parking lot in Salt Lake City during the first night after leaving Sacramento where I had visited a friend. Picked up a couple whose van broke down 30 miles out of Salt Lake City, piled some of their clothes in the doghouse and dropped them a ways out of Denver at an early Christmas party where I was well fed. Got them to think about their poor communication and constant sniping at each other during that lllllooooonnnnngggg day's drive across UT/NE/WY/CO; each tended to assume the other's every word was a criticism. Listen to each other, friends, with charity. Regards, ecb3 - from seasonably cold central VA, looking forward to a high of 52 by Saturday. -Earl BENNETT ('63) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Marie RUPPERT Hartman ('63) Re: Ohio State After a long and trial ridden season my Ohio State Buckeyes proved that this team is indeed worthy of the championship crown! Now I can turn my attention to the Seahawks. -Marie RUPPERT Hartman ('63) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** Bomber Memorial >>Mac McLELAND ~ Class of 1955 ~ 1937 - 2011 Bomber Memorials **************************************************************** **************************************************************** That's it for today.
