ALUMNI NEWS AND COMMENTS |

I enjoyed reading
Sandy (Gibbons)
LaRouche driving
instruction/adventure
story. It hit home
because a
now-deceased friend
and classmate, Jack
Crawford '48, taught
driver training
classes for a number
of years at Ferguson
(now McCluer) High
School and told me
hair-raising stories
of being driven
across median strips
and four lane
boulevard dividers
by some of his
less-adept students.
It sounded like he
deserved hazard pay. |
||
My father decided that he
was going to give me
a driving lesson.
When he got into the
passenger seat he
immediately went
from Dr. Jekyll to
Mr. Hyde. I never
saw anything like
it. He yelled at me
the entire time. |

If you had a spare $900,000, you could have become
the owner of a small Wyoming town that was
auctioned off April 5, 2012.
After more than 30 years
of residing in the unincorporated community, town
"mayor" Don Sammons says it's finally time to move
on. The town was sold to an unidentified man
from Vietnam Weston said the buyer and a companion arrived in Wyoming -- their first trip to the United States -- on Monday, touring Cheyenne and the University of Wyoming at Laramie before the auction. Williams & Williams Co. of Tulsa, Okla., conducted the auction on a sunny, windy day outside the trading post, which has been closed since Dec. 31. The number of bidders was not released.
Dozens of people, including some of the 125
residents who live in remote areas and get their
mail at the outdoor post office boxes on the
property, showed up for the event. Officials with
Williams & Williams stood out in their business
suits among the locals dressed in jeans and western
attire. Wearing a weather beaten cowboy hat, Gary Crawford, who lives about 4.5 miles northeast of the trading post -- "Post Office Box 7" -- said the trading post is important to the surrounding residents who mostly live on widely scattered ranches. "At different times, this has been a community gathering place where you caught up with your neighbors and shoot the breeze, learn what's going on, who is around," Crawford said. |

HONEY: An elderly lady was invited to an old friend’s home for dinner one evening. She was impressed by the way her lady friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, etc. The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the husband was in the living room, her lady friend
leaned over to her hostess to say, 'I think it's wonderful
that, after all these years, you still call your husband all
those loving names'. (1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. (2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. (3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. (4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! (5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.) (6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. (7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever'). (8) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
