Today we celebrate two Bombers, both of whom I know. One I went to school and graduated with, the other is some sort of hanger on who came along some eleven years later. The Bomber guy I went to school with was a neat fellow in his day. He probably still is. Didn't get to see him again until the 60th, but he was still recognizable (even if he was wearing glasses). So, a tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a hearty "Happy Birthday!" is in order for Gene STEPHENS ('54). Can't remember when I ran into the other fellow; it certainly wasn't at school because he is much younger. Haven't done the Strip in Vegas so it couldn't be there. And I know we didn't hang with the same crowds. Oh well, here's a "Happy Birthday!" to David (Tooter) (Junior Gyrene) RIVERS (no relation to Joan or Melissa) ('65). As if we could forget. Oh, yeah, "Welcome Home!" -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where the sunshine continues until maybe next week. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: John ADKINS ('62) Re: Another year older and Some time ago , about the time of "R2-K", I Iearned if I playedmy cards right, I could sucker David into paying for Val GHIRARDO Driver's ('72) goods. I have used that knowledge to my benifit at just about every Cool Desert nights since. I do appreciate the Spuddies, David. This is your day, David RIVERS ('65) - I hope none of your cars break down -that the weather is pleasant, wherever you may be and that I am only one of many to wish you "Happy Birtday". -John ADKINS ('62) ~ Richland and I still got some Punkin Pie left *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Jim HEIDLEBAUGH ('65) Re: Birthday greetings Wishing David RIVERS ('65), a Happy Birthday! (don't light all those candles at the same time, Dood) -Jim HEIDLEBAUGH ('65) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Lance WILLIS ('70) First post in a while but never want to see the Alumni Sandstorm go away. A big high five to my son Sam for his cross country season this year at the University of Arizona. Not sure how many of you started a family late and have kids in college but it's sure fun to watch them run. Next up Indoor Track and Field. Willis, Green & Penney Headline Pac-12 All-Academic Teams -Lance WILLIS ('70) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Brad WEAR ('71) Re: Happy Birthday, David Happy Birthday to the Oracle of Birthdays, David RIVERS! David and the '65 gang were an influence on my life from the age of twelve. He lived at the opposite end of the block from me on Van Giessen. When I was young I'd go down to his place when the crew were working on cars in his back yard. They'd be cutting front coils to lower their cars, or working with a timing light or something and they'd run me off, but I'd filter back in to watch and listen to them. He's a fellow Marine and I'm proud to say I know him. Happy Birthday David RIVERS ('65)! And you're shirt is right, you may be old, but you saw all the cool bands. -Brad WEAR ('71) ~ in Plano, TX where we're supposed to get 8" - 10" of rain this weekend.
