WWII Scrap Rubber drive at Yost Motors

This particular scrap rubber drive ended in July, 1942, one of many efforts during the war to recover and reuse valuable raw materials in the war effort.

December 1993 Basketball

A look at Sutton - Sandy Creek basketball from 25 years ago.






OK, so I cut off a few lines of the article. I did get in B. J.'a 32 point story to back up any tales he may have been trying to pass off. And there is a profile shot of Brian Shaw, who had a bit of a future in sporting activities, as I recall.



Roger Welsch column in Clay County News

In 1993, Don Russell carried the Roger Welsch in the weekly Clay County News. The Column is just one in a list of things that cause me to take a day or two to write my column for the paper.




My connection to this column is that my last active duty Air Force assignment was at Defense Depot Tracy, a Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) facility at Tracy, California where I was known as OTIS (Director, Office of Telecommunications and Information Systems). 

One of the 30 or so warehouses at the depot contained a MRE production line, one of two such DLA operations, as I recall. The staff sampled the product a few times, perhaps an unofficial QC role, and I found them to be an acceptable product especially for an operation that was responsible to produce literally millions of these packaged meals. 

My experience was from 1984-1987. Perhaps by 1993 the gourmet qualities of the MRE product had dropped off.
