Re: Club 40 Weekend...

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.

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!!!

      it is heating up to the 90s and where our kids are still 
      out of school while teachers strike!

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