I trust everyone has had their fill of turkey (or whatever) 
and football, so let's get on to the important things. 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!"

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".

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.

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.

      8" - 10" of rain this weekend. Currently 73°
