Hi just wanted to say that Don had his 81st birthday last week .
He is on new medicine for his pulmonary fibrosis. The other was
sooo powerful it burned him badly. So let's keep our fingers
crossed that this medicine will be a help. Wish it had been
around when Mac RICHARDSON ('52-RIP) was sick with this.

-JoAnn Lyall (wife of 59 years)

Re: SEVENTEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK we got some really fun birthdays today... I mean I'd love to
be the bomber-dude between these two lovelies... they almost
invented the words Bomber-Babe (if there's a hi fun is it one
word?)... but wait... there's more... how many of you recall
that seventeen years ago our Bomber-Babe editor in chief began
the Sandstorm... seventeen years... I mean asa kid it takes 50
years to reach 16 and we are on 17... Way ta go, Maren ('63 &
'64)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the day after ba ba ba ba
ba ba bompada ba ba dinky dank dink blue moon blue moon blue
moon dit di dit di dit........ I remember one time eating at
Andy Devine's and the Marcels came in for dinner... dunno 
where they'd been playing but it ain't like Kingman is the
entertainment capital of the world ya know... now if either of
these Bomber-Babes (Sorry buddy... I love ya and all but you
take back seat to these babes... wait... I wanna take back seat
WITH these babes... so get outa the back seat and go wait on 
the Group W bench)... dang... I would not wanna be standing 
before these two at the same time with them expecting me to 
ask one of them to go see Cleopatra or somethin'... no way 
I  could make that choice... I mean it ain't like they wuz 
droolin' over me when I was a lowly soph... but as the Big 
El said: "While I can think, while I can talk, while I can 
stand, while I can walk, While I can dream, please let my 
dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and let one of these Babes 
want me to take them to Cleopatra and one to West Side Story!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 
Ann ENGEL ('63), MaryAnn WEILAND ('63) and Dennis HASKINS ('66)
on your special day, August 1, 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Move over Clapton

First only happens once just like last... Waaaaaaaaaay back 
when I was still doing labor law I worked with a guy who had
represented GM in some big time work... they gave him the last
Pontiac convertible to roll off the line back in the late '60s
or early '70s (contrary to popular belief I don't know nuthin'
bout "classic" cars... I'm a died inna wool hot rodder)... He
loved that car... now the B-day Bomber is onna them firsts...
(looks better "wanna" but that's not the right word... Just 
like I've called Tony HARRAH ('65) "Tons" since I met him... 
now it looks like "tuns" but pronounced "Tones" with a long 
"o"... but the "e" looks funny)... I've heard but not confirmed
that the BEAULIEU twins ('62) may have been the last babies
borned at Hanford Hospital... but this guy is the undisputed
first baby borned in a Cadillac... hardy har har har (how many
of us told that stupid joke as kids?)... now he's way more than
that... he is a fantastic friend and my life would not be nearly
as full without him in it... Oh I know... you think I got jelly
for a spine but lemme tell ya... this summer I heard Bill
BLANKINGSHIP ('62) admit that with the passing of every year he
gets more and more sentimental... now top that... so I hope my
pal will just take a day off on his day and relax... HAPPY
BIRTHDAY, Ed QUIGLEY ('62) on your special day, August 2, 2015!!
