Believe you me when I say I am far from a prude, but I know there are some younger (teens &amp; subteens) who read his Blog. I for one will no longer check his blog every day like I did because I really enjoyed his take on Hockey.<br /><br />Just wondering what happen to some of the kids I knew at Snake River Junior &amp; High School.<br />I have heard from Anita Martin Jacobson, but I have also been looking to hear from others also like D. Caldwell, M. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Driscoll</span>, Coach <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Meacham</span>, Coach Bray, B. Draper.<br /><br />Just wonder what it will be like at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bonners</span> Ferry Reunion this summer not having seen some of the folks for about 40 plus years. (Scary Thought)<br /><br />Now on to something more.<br />Looking forward to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Mimi's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">soccer</span> game this week.<br /><br />Looking forward to watching Kennedy run barrells and do goat tail tying for the Northwest Youth Rodeo Assoc. at the St Paul Rodeo Grounds in St Paul OR.<br /><br />Looking forward to watching Austin doing barrells, pole bending, bareback bronc, and bull riding.<br /><br />Check out the NWYRA at.<br /><a href="http://www.nwyra.com/">www.nwyra.com</a><br /><br />It is a great web site fun to watch.<br /><br />Looking forward to Willamette Junior Rodeo at the Mollala Buckeroo Grounds as both Austin and Connar both want to ride bulls there. It will be Connars very first ride and hopefully not his last as I would also like him to be able to do barrells, chute dogging, and steer dobbing too. I think it would be really good for him.<br /><br />Check out the WVJRA at.<br /><a href="http://www.wvjra.org/">www.wvjra.org</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412464686365157628-7042453676470962684?l=papainoregon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>papardphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15759634601008690145noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412464686365157628.post-44362073097408200612007-12-27T15:17:00.000-08:002008-01-12T21:25:07.066-08:001 I WAS BORN IN NORTH IDAHO<br /><br />2 I NEARLY DROWN IN THE FLOOD OF 1948<br /><br />3 WE PLAYED WHERE A CASINO NOW STANDS<br /><br />4 I WOULD STEAL SOME KID'S SLEDS WHILE THEY WERE IN SCHOOL (I WAS 4-5)<br /><br />5 I LEARNED TO SWIM AT THE COW CREEK SWIMMING HOLE<br /><br />6 WE USED A GUNNY SACK WITH SEALED 1 GALLON CANS FOR FLOATATION<br /><br />7 I RODE A FREIGHT TRAIN FOR 30 MILES WHEN I WAS 10<br /><br />8 I SOLD THE SPOKANE CHRONICLE ON THE GREAT NORTHERN EMPIRE BUILDER<br /><br />9 WE COULD GO PLAY OR FISHING ALL DAY LONG AND OUR PARENTS DIDN;T WORRY<br /><br />10 I ONCE LIVED IN A HOUSE WITH NO PLUMBING AND WE HAULED OUR WATER<br />FROM TOWN IN A BIG RUBBER BLADDER<br /><br />11 MY DAD WAS A POLICE OFFICER<br /><br />12 MY DAD WAS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COMMITTEEMAN<br /><br />13 MY MOTHER WAS THE STRONGEST WOMAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN<br /><br />14 GRANDMA HARPER MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS HER ONLY GRANDCHILD, SHE HAD DOZENS<br /><br />15 GRANDPA HARPER WAS THE JANITOR AT SOUTHSIDE GRADE SCHOOL AND WOULD LET ME HELP HIM CLEAN THE SCHOOL AND RING THE HAND BELL AT THE END OF RECESS TIME<br /><br />16 I LOVE OREGON STATE ATHLETICS (PRIMARILY FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL)<br /><br />17 I NO LONGER CARE FOR HOCKEY AT ALL PRO LEVELS AS IT IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY AND NOT THEIR LOVE OF THE GAME :(<br /><br />18 2 OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN RODEO, AUSTIN DOES ROUGHSTOCK, AND HE ALSO GAMING EVENTS, AND KENNEDY DOES GAMING EVENTS<br /><br />19 OUR OTHER 2 GRANDDAUGHTERS ARE VERY GOOD SOCCER PLAYERS<br /><br />20 JAY LOVES THE OUTDOORS AND WILL MAKE A VERY GOOD HUNTER AND FISHERMAN<br /><br />21 I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN BONNERS FERRY IDAHO<br /><br />22 I MET LINDA CRUISING BROADWAY IN DOWTOWN PORTLAND ON A TUESDAY NIGHT<br /><br />23 I LOVE LINDA MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD<br /><br />24 WE HAVE 2 GREAT DAUGHTERS AND SONS IN LAW<br /><br />25 I ONCE FLOATED ON A HOME MADE RAFT IN A FLOOD IN BONNERS FERRY(I SHOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED THIS LONG)<br /><br />26 I AM SCARED OF THE GRANDVIEW CEMETERY (ACTUALLY ALL CEMETERIES)<br /><br />27 I LOVED LIVING IN YAKIMA WASHINGTON<br /><br />28 I MISS MY CANADIAN COUSINS DEARLY (VELMA, CARLA, &amp;
