For those of you who not fond of the "old and boring", sorry about that. Today he celebrates yet another birthday. Not going to elaborate on how old he is, but in 1953 he was the King of the Prom. He got promoted the following school year to Student Body President. He also did a few other things which may or may not be reported in Jim WATTS' ('54) "tell all" book. On that note, it is time to tip the ol' propeller beanie and give a "Happy Birthday!" shout to Pat O'BRYAN ('54) on the auspicious occasion of it. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where lawn mowing season is under way. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Barbara SESLAR Brackenbush ('60) Re: Class of 1960 Bomber Luncheon DATE: Saturday, March 7 TIME: 11:30 a.m. WHERE: 3 Margaritas (downtown near Lee Blvd.) Spouses and friends are also welcome!

Must have been in a class with him. One day he blurted out, "How do you know this (life) isn't all a dream, and you're actually a butterfly? " Pretty heady stuff for a 14-year old. His intellect seemed far ahead of his classmates. To: Mike FRANCO ('70) I do remember Firesign Theatre tho I never heard but a bit of one album. Also remember a Frank Zappa poster titled "Phi Zappa Krappa" with Zappa on the john, a poster of Marx (Groucho) and Lennon (John) on the wall behind him. -Bill SCOTT ('64) **************************************************************** **************************************************************** >>From: Shirley COLLINGS Haskins ('66) Re: 4A State Hoops ~ Richland v Davis ~ 3/4/15 TCH "When the sixth-ranked Davis Pirates (19-4) face the fifth-ranked Richland Bombers (19-4) at the boys Class 4A state basketball quarterfinals at 10:30 AM Thursday at the Tacoma Dome, it will be the 131st meeting between the two schools since 1958. The teams have combined for 53 state tournament appearances (40 by Richland) and five state championships — the last by Davis in 2012. Plenty of talented players will take the floor, including Mid-Columbia Conference player of the year Steven Beo and Columbia Basin Big Nine player of the year Nikhil Lizotte. Those two will be surrounded by a cast of al-league players – Carson Miller and Landon Radliff of Richland; Max Jones, Nick Navarro and Tyezaeh Bales-Walker of Davis." If the Bombers win this Thursday game [today], they will then advance to the 3:45 PM semi-final game on Friday where they would meet the winner of the Kentwood-Woodinville game. If the Bombers win again on Friday, they will then play at 9 PM on Saturday for the State Championship . You will be able to listen to games on the radio at KONA 610AM or at http://610kona.com/ on the internet. The State Championship game will be taped and shown on TV on Sunday. Re: Passing of Nedra D.
