He is apparently on the short list for appointment as Secretary of Defense. As many of you know, he and his brother Tom ('66) are both Bombers. Their mother still lives in Richland, and Tom is a neighbor in my townhouse complex. I've met and chatted with GEN Mattis several times during his frequent visits. Very impressive fellow - well-spoken and outgoing, and obviously an intelligent fellow. I hope he gets the appointment! I'm confident he would be a fine leader of our military. -Dick WIGHT ('52) ~ in chilly Richland ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: ahhhhhhhhhhhh a little rain here today so every time I got ready to do something it would start again... rain in the desert is weird... may rain in the front yard and not in the back... finally got my errands done... gave me time to listen to Gunnar and Mathew Nelson's new one hour show on '50s on 5... I'd caught it once before and enjoyed the music but hadn't paid much attention to the banter... today was a ton of stories about Ricky with Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran... great stuff and then more about a rival weekly football game between Elvis, the Memphis Mafia, Ricky and his high school pals... lotsa injuries by Ricky's team till he told his Dad and the L.A. Rams showed up to play with Rick... last game... all because Priscilla told the Big E he should wear his hair like Ricky's... (korse we all know a Bomber-babe ('63) who wore hers like Ricky in Jr. hi)... finally they explained why Rick went back to Ricky the last year of his life... he was sitting with Carl Perkins after most of the other old rockers had passed and Carl said: "Well Ricky, looks like we're the last of the old time rock-a-billies." Ricky said "if Ricky is good enough for Carl Perkins, it's good enough for me... "... yeah I know bla bla bla... well down to beez wax...
