There has been some suggestion that this person might be a "revisionist". At any rate, she might be at the Annual Club 40 Meeting, albeit outside of the actual meeting room. My understanding is that no one will be compelled to talk to her; which is as it should be. With all that being said, my apologies to Jo HEIDLEBAUGH ('70) for forgetting her birthday (which was yesterday). How do I know such a young person you may wonder; we met at several Portland area Bomber Lunches. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the weather has been warm, but promises to be cooler in the coming week. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Derrith PERSONS Dean ('60) Re: Good News!

Parks highway closed, 0 humidity... fire is on the move. Lots of damage to houses and buildings in the Willows area. Quite a few mushers live in that area. (From my wife Jackie who was near Houston, AK and could see the flames in the distance) -J. Larry MATTINGLY ('60) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sockeye wildfire: One Bomber reported early this morning that DeeDee Jonrowe lost her home and two pets but saved all her sled dogs with some help from Martin Buser... Re: Alaska Dispatch News Link Re: Another Fire Link -Maren *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: confused It seems for about every email I have there are two others that pop up... similar but not correct... either the "m" is missing from "com" or maybe Perry hacked my computer and I get "como"... in any event if I accidentally click on the wrong one I get a message that it didn't go thru... in that case do you think CCs go thru or does everything go outa whack? I am so techy I haven't a clue... did I ever tell you about meeting Perry Como? I used to sell paintings at galleries at 3 of the Hotel/Casinos back inna day... Perry was eying a couple of nice pieces and then he walked up to me with his hand stuck out and said "Como; Perry Como" as if I wouldn't recognize him... I think I was inna daze after that... funny it was like meeting a "grownup" star... celebrities my age have never had that effect on me... I just act as tho I've known them for years... I used to drink with the First edition between shows and we all just acted like we had grown up together... meeting Sinatra was not so nice... Jr. had spent a small fortune with me and Daddy came down from on high and ripped me a new one for not knowing that his kid shouldn't spend so much money... what a grouch... but I made out better than Tommy Sands, I guess... boy what a mistake marrying that girl... he was in pretty poor health the last time the guys and I saw him... thankfully his kids have taken him in and he is in Hawaii somewhere so don't spoze we'll be seeing him any more soon... what a nice guy... just bad judgment in Fathers in law... Getting ready for the LA Roadster show and I wanna sell my last set of E&J headlights... ran outa primer and hadda run out... 111° and it's after 5 PM... expect a hot ride to the show Friday... have no clue where I am going with this so I'll get down to wishing HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jan BELL ('64) on your special day, June 16, 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) PS Prayers for Kathie MOORE Adair ('69) still welcome! *************************************************************** *************************************************************** That's it for today.
