>>From: Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54)

My friend, fellow classmate and your Club 40 President, Marilynn
WORKING Highstreet ('54) has been in correspondence with a young
lady who is interested in the health and history of "native"
Richlanders. 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.

Re: Late report Alaska [Sockeye] Fire

As of 6 PM Alaska time.. 6/15/15...

6500 acres burned... zero containment... 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)

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
