Re: Skagit Valley Tulips...Get Out There
    For all Bombers and WB Bombers reading the Alumni Sandstorm and want
to see the Tulips in Skagit Valley, they are out big time. My guess, not
being a Dutch Tulip or Cheese farmer, is that they are very early and
will probably last for another 2-3 weeks. Tuliptown is open and this 
is a good place to get a cross section of what is being grown up here. 
They expect between 300,000 and 400,000 visitors to the Valley and it
officially starts on April 1. 
    That is the good news. The bad news is that it is windy and rainy
this Saturday morning and the forecast for the next week is MOS (more of
the same). We were out there this morning (Saturday) and the colours are
fantastic... even in the rain. Spend some money. Skagit County needs the
money to help King County pay for all of their outlandish projects they
don't want to pay for.

-Bill Berlin ('56)... In Anacortes, WA where I am keeping my Tulips (two
                     lips) closed after that last sentence.

To: Jinnie and Joan Eckert           
 In our preschool days, your younger sister Rita was my neighborhood best
friend. I remember learning all your names and can recite them today:
Joan, Junior, Jinnie, Bobby, Bunny, Donnie, Mary, Pat, Johnny, Jeanie.
Impressive, no? Bunny (Rita) and I always admired the older sisters.
