It is true, boys and girls, the temps did not hit the century mark as some predicted (cloud cover stayed longer than they thought). Eugene made it to 98°, had a 100° on the car going through Curtin, OR on the way back from the coast. But this is the "wet side". Only problem was the humidity, made it almost feel like New Orleans or some other spot on the Gulf Coast. Definitely not the dry heat of the desert Southwest or even the high desert on the East side. On the other hand some weather guessers are calling for 100°+ over the 4th of July week-end. As a result, there may not be any fireworks displays this year (bummer!). -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ at dry Mount Angel, OR *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Jack GARDINER ('61) Just about a month ago Dick "Buz" BOISONEAU ('61) called to say that he had leukemia. What a shock to both of us. June 3rd they admitted to Kadlec for treatment. They gave him chemo for just over two weeks. He told me he can't have any more because his body is too weak to accept it. He stayed at Kadlec another week to get his strength up... then released him for hospice at home. Saturday night they took him to hospice off Yelm Street in Kennewick. I went to see him today [6/28]... he was feeling better.. glad to see me. He needs your prayers and people in his corner.. -Jack GARDINER ('61) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) To: Tim SMYTH ('62) Well, I guess you were right to be worried about the 2 jail escapees being in your area, as both were found and killed in upper New York State. Seems a lot of Bombers had good memories of hard work, but fun times working in the "peas". -Helen CROSS Kirk ('62) ~ Hope, IN where we are fortunate we are not flooded as much of the state is with our continuing heavy rain, but the cooler temperatures are wonderful!! *************************************************************** *************************************************************** That's it for today.
