Well, one more day until our annual celebration of Club 40 members and guests can get together for some fun!! Hope all of you traveling have a safe journey getting to Richland! Just an update as to what some of the things you can expect when you get to the Red Lion Friday afternoon at 4:30pm when the registration table opens. There will be two additional tables set up in the lobby; One for Kate Brown, University of Maryland Baltimore County Professor of History, and author of Plutopia. Kate will be conducting a voluntary and anonymous survey of health effects, or lack thereof, of people who grew up near Hanford, on a tablet or smart phone which she will supply. After my request for your Yes or No interest, a majority was in favor of Kate coming. If you are interested, stop by and meet her. A second table will be used by Sue GARRISON Pritchett ('58) to sell "ornaments" of our ABC houses, "R" with the cloud, and many more fun ornaments. For you "out of towners" who may not have seen some of these and they are great souvenirs and gifts. She will have a display board to show what is available. http://rsa99352.tripod.com/Ornaments.html Raffle will be fun, also. Texas Roadhouse restaurant has donated bags of peanuts that will be sold for $5 each and contain a coupon for an appetizer. All proceeds will go to the Scholarship fund. But... NO throwing shells on the floor, like at the restaurant. . We are so looking forward to a fun weekend of visits with our classmates. Congratulations to all the classes celebrating a "special" year!! Friday night is Taco Night and Saturday night we will be able to have a "sit down" meal and be served! Please enjoy the food and your friends! Saturday morning the Club 40 Board will meet at 10am and conduct the annual election of officers. We are always looking for new members to step up and volunteer to lead your Club! Class reps are still needed for many of the years. You can contact me if you are willing to join us and meet twice a year to help make the activities and functions something that everyone can be proud of. 509 544-0393. See you tomorrow!!! -Marilynn WORKING Highstreet ('54/Club 40 Prez) ~ Pasco where it is heating up to the 90s and where our kids are still out of school while teachers strike! *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: Finally! It finally happened... I met the "Happy Piano" after all this time... now it's not like we haven't emailed and stuff over the years, but I finally met the B-day Bomber-babe face to face at our reunion... Now when I look at her Sr picture I swear I knew her back then... In fact, right after gradeashun I remember looking at our book and feeling that I personally KNEW each and every kid in there... but as with everything else over the years memories fade and by 50 years, they are in very bad shape about some things... of course all of my stories are based in certain fact... I don't make this stuff up... but as Jimbeaux ('63) and I often say... our most vivid memories may be a little fiction and a little fact... Oh by the way... did I mention Rodney BREWER's ('65) birthday is May 26, 1947? Now come next May I want all you Bombers to wish Rodney an HB! We'll see how many remember... oh... nuther thing... are you guys offended by as many commercials as I am? Used to be I only watched movies on cable, but so many really good hour long shows have made their way to network stations I find myself watching "commercial" television lately... I have decided the "toe Fungus" ones are the worst... ya know how you kinda cover your eyes when the good guy goes in a dark hallway or a disposable actor heads into the cave where the monster is waiting... well I do that when the TF commercials come on as well... yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk... or as Mary Lou WATKINS ('63) would say: "eyyyyyyyewwwwwww"... but I have personal knowledge that the B-day babe has the cutest toes around (ok, I don't know that personally)... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Donna FREDETTE ('65) on your special day, September 10, 2015!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) *************************************************************** not a memorial - only INFO today >> Ron WEISSENFELS ('66-RIP) from the Einan's website: Graveside service will be held at Sunset Gardens on Friday, September 11, 2015, at 11am followed by a memorial service at Temple Baptist Church,4555 Arena Rd, Richland *************************************************************** *************************************************************** That's it for today.
