Re: Party Pic

At least we were spared seeing the "Tooter" ('65) crashing
ML's ('63) party.

On the other hand, this Bomber didn't crash the "Big"
birthday party, cuz he was invited. Sorry to say that some
didn't show up, but those who did had a good time. I'm sure
Marilynn ('54) or someone will furnish pictures in a later
issue.

All that aside, a tip of the ol' propeller beanie and a
"Happy Birthday!" is in store for Dave KOEPPEN ('54).

-Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR  where 
      preparations are going forward in order to be ready for
      Oktoberfest this weekend.  Who knows, I may even see a
      Bomber or two there.

My days with home delivery of the Tri-City Herald are
numbered... when my subscription is due for renewal I'm
cancelling it. If I wanted my print news a day late I would
live on the East Coast. Some days the Herald has only one
section because of the 9pm curfew.

When I grew up there were Little League, Pony League, Colt
League scores. I have a whole scrapbook of articles about me,
that my dad saved for me. My kids and grandkids enjoy reading
them. The children growing up here now won't have this
pleasure. 

I'm off my soapbox now...

Re: What a guy

Now it's no secret that the Bomber-b-day guy and I go pretty
far back... his mom and pop are two of my favorite people
inna whole wide world... he was pretty much in tow at all
events and his name ended in an "ie" instead of an "en"... 
He had far more power than he realized... on one occasion 
we  all headed to the Shilo one Sunday for breakfast before 
everyone left and went on their own ways... when the hostess 
spotted the B-day guy she immediately told us he could not 
have breakfast with us as the room in which they served
breakfast/brunch was used to serve licker at night... any
licker inna room at the moment? Nooooooooooo... hmmmmm... any
chance of somebody having a drink for breakfast? I spoze but
not in that room... so all 10-15 of us got up and marched
out... we have never returned as a group tho I will admit
that HEIDLEBAUGH ('65), Cecilia ('65) and I did join Ellen
('63) and Mary Lou ('63) there one time a few years back... 
I have watched this Bomber grow and become a man (well man as
in physically... I mean he is a Bomber...) in his own right
and have tried to keep up with his toys and joys on face
book... but I will admit he has outgrown much of my
understanding by leaps and bounds... he and his dad still do
lots together as I do with my Sarah... does my heart good...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Steven ADAIR ('08) on your special day, 
September 13, 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Years of Hanford history moving ~ 9/11/16 Tri-City Herald 

      "Thousands of Hanford artifacts are being moved
      into Richland where they can be put on public
      display."

Re: Federal Building DOE Employees ~ 9/12/16 Tri-City Herald 

      "Moving about 350 Department of Energy and
      subcontractor employees out of the Richland
      Federal Building to space being vacated by other
      Hanford employees is not intended to save
      federal dollars, DOE officials say. It's about
      improving communications among workers at two
      Hanford agencies."

       Christ the King Sausage Fest will be this weekend.
