I'm the one who was grievously slandered. -Dick McCoy ('45, '46, '02) Bronc, beaver, Bomber ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Ann Pearson Burrows ('50) Just thought it was a real kick to hear of the "big" Richland Washington story re: the person who didn't like her haircut and shot out the back window of the hairdresser's car! No kidding this was on local San Diego TV (all three stations) and the local talk radio. They all said "don't think we'll get our hair done in Richland if the cuts and/or the customers are that bad". Name of the customer or the hairdresser was not disclosed. -Ann Pearson Burrows ('50) ~ Looking for good weather in San Diego and so far haven't gotten much. ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Jim McKeown ('53) To: Gary Behymer ('64) Gary, The list of Miss Tri Cities was very interesting... I noticed that they started in the mid '60s. How many remember the Miss Richland contests... or Miss Atomic City, I can't remember which. One of the first ones... in '47 or '48 was won, surprisingly by my Aunt.... Susan Wilkes. She had moved up from Portland to work at the project, and I believe she stayed at the dorms. I also believe that the contest was held in North Richland and that Judy Canova was the guest star for the event. Hard to remember, since I was in the 7th grade. Also, later, when I became a Jaycee, we held the Miss Richland contests in the mid '50s, and that's when Sharon Tate ('61wb-RIP), who was in School because her Dad was in the service and stationed here. She left town shortly after the event, and could not serve as Miss Richland, so the Crown went to Janice Kerstetter Bullek ('53). They were neat times. -Jim McKeown, from the class of 53, rootin for the Kings. ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Helen Cross Kirk ('62) I'd like to add my best wished to Rosalie Lansing ('63) on the birthday. I always remember her and her brother, Craig Lansing ('62) one of my fellow classmates as two of the beautiful people back at Col-Hi then. But I always smile when I remember that Craig Lansing ended up in some sort of law enforcement. It's been raining and colder all day today, although that is much better than the snow and freezing temperatures we had last week. The birds and visiting ducks and geese around our little pond don't seem to mind, and they are fun to watch. But every day it keeps greening up, and in anther month, summer will be here. I hope that Ernie Trujillo ('59) does find Rome as charming a place as I always have the few times I've been fortunate enough to visit there. I am just finally getting my scrapbook about our mission trip to Russia over Old/New Year together. I love to read novels about Russia now. I've reread a great biography about Catherine the Great, and Russka, a book about the whole history of Russia, and am now attempting War and Peace again. Next month Warren (a non-Bomber, but a Washingtonian at least, from Brewster ('63)) and I will be heading up to Quebec to visit some Dutch friends of mine from when I was an exchange student in l962 to Holland, and then we'll visit Warren's 88 year old uncle on a farm in Vermont. Should be fun. Bomber Cheers, -Helen Cross Kirk ('62) ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Jim House ('63) To: Mike Brady ('61) Art Dawald's record was 406-149 for 73%. He was followed by Frank Teverbaugh with a record of 155-23. Apparently a 87% winning percentage was not good enough for Frank to keep coaching. The following link in the Bomber website has all the scores, players and coaches for the Colts, Broncs, Beavers and Bombers going back to 1910. http://all.sports.tripod.com/Basket/RHSBasketballScores.doc -Jim House ('63) ~ Mead, WA ******************************************************* ******************************************************* >>From: Patricia de la Bretonne ('65) I want to add a very very Happy (tho late) Birthday to one of my all-time favorite song leaders of the past, sweet Rosalie Lansing. You're the best! love, -Patricia de la Bretonne '65 in Seattle ******************************************************* ******************************************************* That's it for today.
