by the Way . . .

Tacoma has joined the national movement to ban silly string and beach balls at various events. That is the stuff people squirt from aerosol cans onto your hair and mail box. It is feared the ban will spread to the Burien - Normandy Park area. The mayor of the later, our classmate John Wiltse, has declined comment (actually, didn't answer emails to his official box). We will keep you up to date on this on the Reunion page.
