Happy Birthday Carol.

I wish I had the red heart-shaped cushion  Katy made in home ec class our 8th grade year at Lincoln Jr. High. It was put in the show case outside the main office. She and I took a lot of teasing over it. It hade embossed in the center: KT + ET. 
After making a fool of myself, drinking glass to glass of vodka with two Soviet doctors, staying with her and Jim on an agricultural exchange program at the filbert farm, Katy and I became estranged  for many years.  At the 55th class reunion we made amends and parted friends  I am thankful for those of you who were able to make that happen  

Happy Birthday Vern. It will be good to see you again. These occasions, like us, are getting to be more rare like palladium, plutonium and you know, stuff like that.

Welcome, Scott!

Charley,
Another birthday for you. Congratulations!!! Missed you last weekend. Went to Newport for the class breakfast with Gary Peterson and went Hwy 20. The Fogarty's, Dale Kennedy, Pat Plunkett, Claudia, Kathy Burt, Jeanne,Eleanor and more....... about a total of 20. Sorry to miss you.

Harold Haines now lives in town. Gary and I were going to stop on the way back to Corvallis and see him at his farm but Eleanor LeMaster said he now lives close to her. It is just across 101 from my parent's house----- up on the hill past Coach Morrow's. There are about 150 mobile homes up there. Nice place.

We caught Harold at home and had a good visit. Of course we spoke a little about the olden days in Football but mostly just caught up. He has 11 grand children! That's really cool and I think is the most I know within our friends. I don't think even Mary Hall/Dorsey can beat that-- maybe.

I am still going to go via your route soon and come harass you a little. Given Lorene's permission of course.

Happy Birthday and stay good.

Louie

Mike,
Have a great and happy 78th birthday. We never really planned on these but aren't they great! Hope to see you in Newport August 12th.

Louie

Happy Birthday, Beth! I remember discussing books with you in 8th grade.

Jerry,
Happy birthday. Stay young and stay up with the kids. Lou

Happy birthday.

It has been a challenge but you have succeeded spectacularly while maintaining a proven "best personality" and a champion's sense of humor. Keep up the good work.

Congrats from a "best man".

Frank,
Happy birthday again and hopefully many more.

Oregon State has renewed my enthusiasm for good baseball with a great team and year. Every time a pitcher starts to throw too many balls I think they could use your help (at 18).

Last night, tied in the bottom of the ninth with a runner on first and one out , UW walked the OSU number 2 hitter on purpose, followed by the OSU number three hitter, to load the bases. (OSU's number 2 hitter leads the Pac12 in rbi's, with number 3 right behind in rbi's). That is the first time I have ever seen two hitters walked in a row on purpose. ... OSU's number four hitter came up with one out and hit a clean single to center for the "walk off" score. . Good baseball you would enjoy.

Stay happy and healthy. 80 isn't far away.

Louie

Pete,
Happy Birthday always. I'm three days early but that's better than late. I knew you would lick the big C so you could fly to more places on the globe. Reser Westside is just a hole right now but soon to be a palace. You will need to join with us at least once this season and watch it rise .......and we can enjoy some Bob Thompson humor, beer & vittles while we are there.

Louie

Happy Birthday.
