You know, months, years, day of the week, etc. So, I guess that was why yesterday's edition was listed as 9/2/2016 as opposed to 10/2/2016. I don't think Maren has "fat fingers" like some of us guys. No, the Richland we knew as youths will never be the same. Just as the mid-west town featured in Booth Tarkington's "Penrod" series can never be. We see them all in memory whether real or imagined. I do remember semi-asphalt streets, few side walks and how easy it was to get to the Uptown Theater from the corner of Swift and Sanford. Probably couldn't to it today if I wanted to. The last time I was in Richland (Club 40 weekend) the town seemed dead. Sorta like the town in "High Noon" just before the train arrived. Yeah, there were people in the Spudnut Shop, and probably some in Denny's, but I didn't see anyone when I walked off two glazed and a maple bar. Nor were there any kids at the swimming pool. Guess everyone was inside watching something. 'Tis a shame. -Bob Carlson, aka Mike CLOWES ('54) ~ Mount Angel, OR where fall weather has finally arrived. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Richard SWANSON ('64) Re: Date on yesterday's Alumni Sandstorm Maybe that should read as 10/02/16? -Richard SWANSON ('64) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* That's it for today.
