Have you ever considered the threat to life on earth that bovine flatulence poses?  That particular methane gas traps heat in the atmospere at a rate 15 times higher than CO2.  However, global warming scientists at the Al Gore Institute have come up with a way to mitigate this serious threat.  When burned, methane becomes water vapor and CO2.  The only thing that is needed is the spark.  And their answer is to hire thousands of people who were laid off from the post office to go out to the fields and farms to light those cow farts.  Viola!!

I'm going out on a limb here:

Tallie Timm, Janet Soros and Barb Austin.

BTW, Fred--Very funny. If I run out of Social Security I can get a job as a cowfart lighter.

Clark  Your concern about enviornmental issues is impressive.  Clearly you are ready to move beyond recycling, driving a Prius and installing a windmill on your roof..  We are trying to clean up all stray methane so as to avoid an enviornmental disaster and another mass extinction.  Before we send you out to the field to ignite bovine flatulence you can get some experience at your local senioir center.  Those old coots have plenty of gas.  Be careful not to go there with your igniter right after lunch as the methane levels can be toxic and you could set of an explosion like the Hindenberg.

Whenever I hear that song, I think of the very end of the movie The Killing Fields, about the genocide in Cambodia.  It was a brutal movie to watch, but I'm glad I saw it, and it was so emotional to have that song at the end of the movie.  It is a great song, and thanks for posting it Ellen.

Happy Birthday to Nancy Westerfield Depew.  Thanks for all the many things you do for the class events and for being a great friend to everyone! I hope it's an extra special day of celebration for you today!  If nothing else I hope you find a great cuppa coffee somewhere warm and relaxing!  You deserve it!

Linda Peate (Powrie)

Well Ellen definitely is wishing you Happy Birthday! About 4 times over!  Good for you, Ellen.  I agree, Nancy. We wish you the best birthday ever and thanks for all the hard work you put into events.  Love you and have many more birthdays!

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Hmmmmm.....have no clue how that happened, Lin.  Might need a new admin here......Geesh.  

Larry Gilbert

I thought I was really good at identifying people, but the pretty blond lady on the left is a mystery to me.  Call me crazy, but it sure looks like Susan Harris (Glazer)  in her youth.....  How about a little help here?

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Mike Callahan's lady who's name escapes me at the moment.  Shelley?

Barbara Peate (Sabo)

Okay, so let's just go for this picture.......Mike's friend, think you're right Ellen, Shelley.  Carol Walling, Peg Weisenberger, Nancy Westerfield and Darcy Driscoll in background, Mike Callahan and Cliff Obrock, and perhaps Guy's hand on the chair to the right?  Not sure..........

And Nancy, you have wonderful grandchildren that really take care of you!  Again, hope your birthday was special.

Barbara Peate (Sabo)

By the way, is Mike Kelley behand the arm and hand in the corner?

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Nope...not Mike...Hint:  Newest classmate to join the website!

Thanks to Al and Pat for adding their holiday photos.  We look foward to seeing more as the season progresses.

Surely someone knows who that beautiful couple on the Home Page is from the 70th Birthday Bash???
