Picnic at the ParkBy Claudia (Kettles) Lovgren ’65

Where will the “bears” be fed on Sunday, August 17? Gas Works Park.

What time will they be fed? That would be 11:30 am – 4 pm.

What will they be fed? Burgers and hotdogs on the grill from Al’s, beverages plus side dishes brought by their fellow alumni bears. How will the bears get to the park for the picnic?The Gas Works Park is at the north end of Lake Union and parking is available (Meridian Ave. N. and N. Northlake Way). For detailed directions www.qagrizzlies.org.How can the bears help?The picnic is open to all of our alums. Your donations (suggested $5.) are needed to help cover escalating park fees and food and beverage costs.

So, QA Grizzlies, shed your fur for shorts and be there at the annual all-years summer picnic! We must keep meeting like this! It’s fun and tasty! And we don’t need no “stinking app” since we have just let you know about this enjoyable annual event.

As this issue was going to press we learned the news of the death of Queen Anne and University of Washington legend Bob Houbregs ’49, who passed away May 28, 2014 at age 82. Bob moved from Vancouver, B.C. as a child and attended Warren Avenue School. He played baseball and basketball at Queen Anne. He set scoring records in college, played in the NBA and was a kind and helpful mentor to Grizzlies for years at the MWOQA luncheons. Their annual fall golf classic is named for him. We will have a more complete report on Bob in the next KUAY.

President’s Message

By Sherry (Peck) Moody ’66

Oh, thank goodness that summer is finally here. Congratulations

to all of us. We survived the wet and cold winter of 2013. My letter says goodbye to one, and welcomes another. We bid a fond farewell to Elizabeth (Weeks) Pankey ’68, who has been the KUAY editor since February of 2012. She told us of her decision in the last KUAY, but I think we were ever hopeful … So to Elizabeth, thank you for your excellent editorial skills and friendship these last two years. May the Grizzly within you, sustain you! Welcome, Carly Avery, daughter of Cheryl (Bledsoe) Avery ’73! Carly is a UW graduate, and a graduate of The Art Institute of Seattle, Associate of Applied Arts, and Graphic Design. Elizabeth has graciously agreed to help Carly get acclimated to our Grizzly way of life.

Our Spring Luncheon has come and gone. It was another success. Thanks to all in attendance and to the stalwart alums who donated their time and effort to make it a grand event. We did have a couple of classes reserve tables for mini reunions, so if that is of interest to you, keep it in mind for either fall or spring. Give Jeri Samuelsen ’63 a call: 425-791-5885. We have had comments from many who attended, telling us what an enjoyable time they had, meeting and sharing stories from yesteryear. … If you were there, please tell your friends to come to the picnic or fall lunch, or better yet, bring them! If you have a reunion on the horizon, mention these events, and if you need a few KUAY’s for your event, we can supply them, just let us know.

Editor’s ColumnCarly Avery

Hi all! I’m the new editor, Carly, daughter of Cheryl (Bledsoe) Avery ’73. I’m very excited to be a part of this project and keep the KUAY going. I remember seeing them in my mom’s mail when I was younger and never thought I would actually be working on it some day. How weird! By day, I currently spend my time as the sole member of the marketing team at the Howard S. Wright Seattle office. It’s a great job that I love with an awesome and well-known company in this area. When I’m not at work, you can probably catch me running around Queen Anne (where I live) or the rest of Seattle. I just completed the Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon in June and it was a great experience. I am also a big fan of Seattle sports, so you might see me at some games. I look forward to hearing more about everyone and keeping in touch through this newsletter! I hope you all like the work I’ve done.

Fall Luncheon continued from page 1

Come and have an enjoyable afternoon, great scenery, great food, as well as wonderful raffle baskets and memorabilia displays. This is a good time to catch up with old friends or make some new ones, with fellow classmates. Why not bring a friend along? The annual election of new board members will be held during a short business meeting.

See coupon on page 14 or register online at www.qagrizzlies.org. Registrations are due by Oct. 24th. Also, mark your calendars: the Spring Luncheon is April 25, 2015. Cost: $35.

Our picnic is set for Sunday, August 17, at Gas Works Park, so mark your calendar, grab your sunscreen and join us! A side dish or dessert would be appreciated (but not required) for other hungry Grizzlies to share. Your alumni association will provide the burgers, dogs, etc.! Jim LePenske ’62 will bring Al’s Grill, so the barbeque will be another classic. Look for details in this newsletter.

Let’s put another event on the calendar. The Fall Luncheon will, once again, be at the Seattle Yacht Club on Saturday, November 1, thanks to Kerry McMahan ’54. Always a fun afternoon, so come eat, drink and be merry with a bunch of bears. (This is our annual meeting, and elections will be held for certain board positions.) Details in this newsletter!

I’m making this a short letter, but do consider a tax deductible donation to your alumni association. We try very hard to have events that all will enjoy, plus, your donations help fund our all-important scholarships. As the saying goes — “It takes a village …”

Planes, Trains and Trucks By Claudia (Kettles) Lovgren ’65

Al Jones ’38 is a “frequent flier” at our Spring and Fall luncheons and I have had the fortunate experience to talk to this very young at heart and vibrant QA Grizzly from time to time.

At the recent Spring Luncheon I noticed Al was wearing the QB pin. This pin indicates a member of the Quiet Birdmen organization. It was started after WWI by pilots that flew combat during the war. There are stringent qualifications to become a member.

My grandfather, Grant Kettles, wore such a pin. He was in the Canadian Air Force, then flew for Cordell Hull over North Africa, was Henry Ford’s (I am only the names I drop) pilot when Ford built the Ford Tri-Motors and became the first aerial survey pilot for the State of Michigan. He was inducted into the Michigan Museum of Flight. He also taught me to drive a stick shift one summer in Canada (yes, it took only one).

So, when I saw Al’s pin, I knew he had quite a story to tell. As unusual, I was right. Of course the first of the story starts with Magnolia Grade School, entering QAHS in 1934 and graduating as Class President in 1938.

Al enrolled in a pilot program at Boeing Field in 1939. Al then went to Canada to become a Canadian Air Force instructor pilot flying the Harvard aircraft. After a year of instructing Al requested transfer to the UK to be assigned to the Royal Air Force Bomber Command. The time was 1942 and the war in Europe was favoring the Germans. Al flew 40 night bombing missions in Wellington bombers, from England to North Africa.

Al was then able to transfer to the US Air Force and was assigned to Night Flyers to fly the Beaufighter and the Black Widow. Their mission was to destroy any ground transportation such as locomotives and trucks the Germans used to supply infantry located in France and Western Germany. The USAAF moved their base operation into Germany shortly before the Germans surrendered in May 1945.

Al was then deployed to Guam to aid in the invasion of Japan. The atomic bomb was dropped in August and their orders were changed to return to the US.

Al was personal pilot for General Fred Evans (Commanding General of the Fourth Air Force). After a year he transferred to the Air Force Reserve and remained there for 26 years, becoming a full Colonel and also pursuing a commercial pilot position.

Al returned to Seattle and married his high school sweetheart, Naides McCormick (passed in 1992) and had a girl and a boy. From 1947 – 1957 Al was a World Airways pilot. In 1957 Boeing offered him a test pilot position in Kansas for the B47 and the B52. After six years he transferred back to Seattle to fly tests and training flights on the 707 models and follow up models through the 747.

He retired as Chief Pilot of Flight Crew Training in 1981, after 24 years at Boeing.

This seems like a lot of information, but what a great way to learn more of our history in a personal way. You never know what you will learn at one of our functions and the connection you have as Grizzlies.

Thank you Al Jones for your service to our country and for taking the time to tell about it!

QA Grads Saving Aircraft HistoryBy John Hennes ’51

The Museum of Flight in Seattle exhibits beautifully restored aircraft of all vintages. How do these planes get to be so good looking? The museum has a large Restoration Center at Paine Field in Everett where volunteers spend hours, days and years turning salvaged wrecks into gorgeous museum pieces. Many of them in flyable condition.

Among the volunteers are two Queen Anne grads, T.C. Howard ’52 and Neil Crawford ’42. The Seattle Times recently published a piece by Seattle Sketcher Gabriel Campanario (Mar. 21, 2014), who was given a tour by Terry “TC” Howard of the Restoration Center. His sketch of Howard is shown here. Howard noted that one of the planes he’s working on is the first 727 jetliner to come off the Boeing assembly line in 1963.

MWOQA NewsBy Dee Hawkes ’54

To best appreciate the Bob Houbregs QA Golf Classic, you have to be there for the good conversation, food, fellowship, and to enjoy an outstanding day. Everyone is welcome, even if you don’t play golf, just to hang out with other Grizzlies. Last summer, while the golfers were chasing the white ball, the football teams from the mid 50’s also enjoyed themselves. Of course, the main attraction is Bob’s tournament, which includes both men and women. Set your calendar to either play or to be at the Everett Golf and Country Club on Monday, September 15th. If you plan to play, registration starts at 10:00, which is followed by a box lunch before teeing off. The golfer’s package costs $160. This includes a tax donation to the Men & Women of Queen Anne (MWOQA) Scholarship Fund for students playing college sports. On behalf of the MWOQA Committee, the welcome mat is out for you to join fellow classmates either to play or just hang out. For more information, contact Roger Jensen ’61 (206-354-5478), Don Lorentz ’60 (206-948-4197) Craig Smith ’69 (206-707-4650) or Dee Hawkes ’54 (425-485-5665).

The annual MWOQA Christmas Luncheon, which was started in 1973 to honor graduates who have passed on, will return to Anthony’s Homeport at Shilshole Bay at 11am Tuesday, December 30th. All classes are welcome to attend, enjoy the luncheon, table introductions, raffle, and awards ceremony, meet the scholarship winners, and renew old high school friendships. Come early and reserve a table for your class. For more information, send an email to hawkes32@comcast.net. It is now a Grizzly tradition.

McClure Celebrates 50 Years By Craig Smith ’69

The annual McClure Mixer was held on April 5th. This year the event celebrated the 50-year anniversary of the school.

The mixer is an adults-only fundraiser and auction that raises money to fund school programs throughout the year. It took place at the Queen Anne Community Center.

The event featured a speech from an alumnus, Craig Smith (QA ’69) who was an eighth-grader when the school opened in 1964, and shared his experiences and stories from that first year. The other speaker was Warren Arnhart, who was the McClure Principal in 1964. Craig told a story that in the fall of 1964, his buddy, Greg Gardner (QA ’69) and he cut school in the afternoon to watch the Yankees vs Cardinals World Series game at Craig’s house across the street. When they returned in the afternoon, Principal Arnhart was there to greet them at the door. In his office, Warren sat the boys down and first asked them, “Who won?”. What a nice thing to say to lighten the moment for a couple of nervous boys. Love you, Warren.

Chris Karam, PTSA co-president and event chairperson, provided retro images at each table of “McClure through the years”, taken from Craig’s 1964 McClure Yearbook. Shannon Conner feels “pretty fortunate” to have spent her first year as principal at McClure during its 50th anniversary. McClure has been through many iterations, Conner said, and this anniversary was a way to celebrate the history, the education, the triumphs and the hiccups along the way. The event had approximately 300 people attend, and they hope to keep growing it.

LONG LIVE McCLURE !!!!

Ike and John Simmons ’52

It was 1959, towards the end of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s second term. A young Air Force Captain, John Simmons ’52 was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, AK. He was a pilot flying out of the base and also the Commander of the Air Police Squadron. When the President landed, on his way to Japan, Simmons was asked by the Base Commander to serve as Honor Commander during Ike’s visit.

John writes: “Naturally, as any good patriotic “Grizzly” would have done, I acquiesced. The photo shows me escorting the President, reviewing the Army and Air Force Honor Guards. President Eisenhower said to me, “I don’t recognize those uniforms, what are they?”. I responded, “Mr. President, those are the new dress uniforms for the Army.” President Eisenhower responded, “I haven’t seen them before!”

Grizzlies Celebrate New Husky Ballpark By Craig Smith ’69

The University of Washington inaugurated a new Husky Baseball Park on March 21, 2014. About 50 former UW ballplayers were honored on the field and participated in the pre-game ceremonies, including singing the National Anthem. The photo shows five QA grads who took part in the ceremonies. These all played baseball at QA for Coach Mel Waite in the 1960s and later played baseball for the UW.

From the left: Craig Smith ’69, Marc Pease ’69, Dave Bell ’64, Dick Batley ’66 and Phil Lund ’65. Craig and Marc were on the QA 1969 championship baseball team that won the METRO League championship at Sick’s Stadium, beating Ingraham 2-0.

Queen Anne Library Centennial By Kim Turner ’61

… In which a good time was had by all. The venerable Queen Anne Public Library at 4th West and West Garfield celebrated its centennial as our last issue went to press. Members of the Blethen family attended, as the funds for the property were given to the city in 1913 by the Blethens, founders of the Seattle Times. The location itself was a compromise between neighborhood factions, and the current location satisfied all groups. The library was extensively renovated in 2007.

The centennial celebration, held on 12 January 2014, was attended by incoming Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Library Board President Dan Dixon, City Librarian Marcellus Turner, Frank and Ryan Blethen of the Seattle Times, and many others. Queen Anne grads Kim Turner ’61, Del Loder ’46, John Hennes ’51 and QA librarian Marion (Edgerton) Parker ’34, all of whom worked on the book, “Queen Anne, Community on the Hill”, were in attendance. Members of the Queen Anne Historical Society displayed historic memorabilia. During the ceremonies, Kim Turner gave a short talk on the beginnings of the library, which was well-received by the capacity crowd of well-wishers. This photo shows Mayor Ed Murray standing behind Kim Turner.

SPRING LUNCHEON 2014By Kim R. Turner ’61

A smaller crowd of 90 attendees enjoyed the recent alumni Spring Luncheon at the Seattle Yacht Club, April 12th, 2014. The weather became totally gorgeous, in spite of earlier predictions of rain. The diners included eight attendees each from the classes of 1960 and 1964, and seven from the class of 1957. The raffle baskets were eagerly sought after and the logo sales were well over $200.

Kim Turner ’61 was the successful bidder for a framed, signed “Dennis the Menace” cartoon, with author/cartoonist Hank Ketcham’s ’37

name boldly written. Tovi (Paul) Andrews ’60, put it best in a letter received following the luncheon: “Great food and company. Our table of 1960 grads was well entertained.” Al Jones ’38 was the oldest alum in attendance; Sally (Ghormley) Villaluz’79 was the youngest.

Faculty who attended included Warren Arnhart, Bobbie Barnhart, Walt Bone, Bob Brubaker, John Doty, Marv Hartley, Reese Lindquist, Gary Stubbs and Dan (Doc) Walther. Joanne Brubaker, Cecile Lindquist and Ann Walther accompanied their spouses. Kim Turner’s short program denoting some Notable Grizzlies of the past was well-received. Among the

notables was Lillian E. (Rice) Gates ’10, grandmother of Microsoft’s Bill Gates. She was proud of being one of the first graduates from Queen Anne.
