Claire, ? ? Very nice pic of Champion...what are the BN, THDA, HIS,TKN identifications? are they awards or certifications? With the prices of houses in the Bay Area, you can't come home. Was watching a SciFic channel and it mentioned US government area 52 (which included Utah Army dugway)...and UFO....when you were stationed there with your husband, did you have any 'green men' as neighbors??
Steve, how many OHS classmates are included in this groups.io? There was an update to the group name a few years ago...and we may have lost some people.
Andy??

Hi, Steve: Thanks for stirring us up again, and hopefully
we'll hear from our many 1959 class friends. I've mentioned
before that Lincoln Mintz and I shared the honor of being the
youngest in our class, but aside from our classmates, I've
discovered that I'm older than just about everyone else I know.
What does that mean? And with the national and world situations,
have I also become a crabby person? I'm bothered by how
politicized almost all topics are handled. The movie/video that
Andy Lee shared with us about our last day at OHS depicted
perhaps a simpler time, and have things ever become complicated!
A good example is the inconsistencies of Gov. Gavin Newsom who
seems to want to do the right thing, but even after he's
required state employees to be vaccinated, why does a high
percentage of these employees (police, DMV staff, etc.) choose
not to be. And why isn't he enforcing the rule he's established?
There wasn't a problem when the remedy for polio was developed.
I used to see polio victims who were in my elementary school,
but it was so good to not see individuals like this shortly
after. So what's the deal? See, I am crabby.
Beyond that, I think I'm okay. We have two great granddaughters
who allow us to spoil them at their whim, and Shirley and I
recently got our Moderna booster so that maybe someday
relatively soon we'll be able to operate somewhat normally
again. We haven't traveled anywhere for almost two years now,
and I'd like to see things calm down even more before I dare
pull out our passports.
Well, now that I've had my say, how about everyone else in our
wonderful class? I think the only one I've spoken with was Louie
Barranco who has exchanged phone calls with me and Richard Lim
who emails occasionally. Hello to all of you! Gary F.

I think most of us remember those as well.Claire.
?? What I read recently is that the Salk vaccine was actually a vaccine.
? It worked like a vaccine.? The problem is that the covid 19 shots are not vaccines
but instead add some additional spike to your own white corpuscles.? This can in turn act as?
a re-infecting agent.? The theory being that this will cause your system to fight the
virus but sometimes it simply causes a mutation.? Thus a new strain of the virus.as we have witnessed.
I'm not sure how I stand on this but I definitely want to see more evidence.
???? I fear we are really losing our rights and our constitution when they can DEMAND we get
an untested controversial shot.?? I welcomed the Salk vaccine but this seems too rushed
and untested.? oh bother........ and they are arresting parents that complain at PTA meetings.
That's a horrible prospect..
? I don't think they can fix prejudice by separating everyone and trying to make all our children
feel guilty for things they haven;t done.
Sorry......ill shut up now.

I think the older I get the less tolerance I have. I remember smallpox vaccinations, I remember polio, I remember Public Health. Like...don't spit on the ground because it spreads 'germs'. Wonder how long since that ordinance has been enforced.
I saw something this morning that really upset me, so I am going to vent to you, my old classmates.? I live on a somewhat busy street, especially during rush hour when all those people are trying to get to Intel. The entrance to my community is half-way between two intersections controlled by traffic signals. There is another street that is directly across from my entrance street, and that street leads to an elementary school. At the intersection with the major street, on each of the four corners, there are sizeable barriers with the posting "crossing closed". At 7:30 this morning, in the dark and the rain, I saw two sets of parents leading their school children past the barriers and across the busy street to get to school. It is one short block either way to access the signal controlled intersections. Parents teaching their young children to flout the rules and putting people and drivers in danger. I just don't get it! They probably do this every school day but I only saw it today because dog and I were a little late getting out on our first walk. Definitely a reason to avoid that area at 7:30. I don't want to be in a position to see an accident happen.
End of rant-for-the-day.
Hello from drizzly Portland.
