Mid-June, the Grand Lodge of Washington (Masons) will be holding its annual communication at the Three River Convention Center in Kennewick. 20 or so of our delegates and spouses from my Lodge in Seattle always have dinner as a group Saturday evening at these conventions, needing to eat sometime after 5pm and finishing dinner in time to get back to the convention site by 8pm for the installation of next year's officers. I'm looking for a recommendation for a good restaurant that will hold a party of 20-25 for dinner (steak/fish/veggie type menu) in the Tri-Cities, preferably in Kennewick. Cheers, -Jim RUSSELL ('58) ~ Mountlake Terrace, WA *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Louise HARTCORN Graversen ('63) Re: Looking for a book I am looking for the book: "Mara, Daughter of the Nile" by Eloise Jarvis McGraw C 1953. It is for a Bomber friend who will turn 70 this summer. It was her favorite book when we went to Marcus Whitman and it would be a real treat if I could find a copy. -Louise HARTCORN Graversen ('63) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: Time ta raise a little Hell Awwwwwwwwwright you Bad Kats and Kitties out there, it's the Tooter cummin' acha from high in the sky blastin' twenty-five trillion watts a power with pounds a sounds n stacks a wax... now maybe it's just cuz I been listenin' to Johnny, Waylon, Willie, Kris, Hank III, and David Allen all day, but the Tooter's inna mood to start sumthin'... now I know there's a bomber-babe havin' a birthday and I promise I won't ferget, but I need ta call on alla you Bombers out there to mosey on over by the Bomber-bowl (Sorry Fran but it'll always be Col-Hi and the Bomber Bowl) and check out the Lone Tree on the south side... Now I know in my heart of hearts that nearly every one of you who has made the drive from Monterey to Santa Barbara or visa versa on the PCH has taken a picture of the "lone Cypress"... I mean I got at least 10 myself and sure they pretty much all look alike, me bein' such a fine photographer and all... kinda like how I used to stop at Cholame at the intersection of Hwys 41 and 46 till the nasties totally destroyed the James Dean Memorial... it's just something ya do... now that tree on the PCH ain't doin' nobody no harm and it would never occur me nor anybody else to cut it down... at least I hope not... well the same goes for the Lone Tree at the south end of the bomber Bowl... but it has recently come to my attention that the Federal Gubmint under the auspices of The Bonneville Power Administration has taken it upon itself to determine that the Lone Tree is interfering with power lines on the South Side of the Bomber Bowl... now I have it on the authority of the professional eye of a Prominent Bomber Architect ('65), that the Lone Tree is nowhere near interfering with those power lines and would not be for a good number of years, if ever. Now of course there are ways to prune trees and if Richland ever catches up to the rest of the world, there will be no above ground power lines before the tree gets a whole lot bigger... but in flexing its muscles, the Gubmint has ordered the Richland School District to remove the beautiful, landmark Lone Tree... now if you are wondering how the tree could be a landmark I am willing to testify that it was under the Lone Tree where I first kissed every single girl I ever dated in Richland... now all kidding aside... I assume the Gubmint has a limited easement for its power lines but if the tree ain't doin' no harm it's time for you Bombers to rise up and tell the Gubmint "hell no it won't go!" As Kris would say, we need to beat the devil! Film at 11:00 (I expect to get it tomorrow). Of course, I also need to wish an HB to one of my favorite bomber-babes...
