I am in the process of putting all our published books up for the Amazon Kindle and the Apple iPad. I'm down to my little bio, Pebbles, and I have a request for the CV alums out there. If you have a copy of the 1954 or 1955 CVHS yearbook and have access to a scanner I would love to have a scan of the front cover of either of those books to put into Pebbles. You can let me know or send the scan to my email:
tchbth@mac.com
Thanks so much. I'll let you know when the book goes "live."
Best, Gary White

Info from Morris Jones
Hi all. I received the following information from Morris Jones who is retired in WA state. I have invited him to share some memories with us. --- Jay
It would have been nice to be a CVHS grad, but during WW2 my folks moved to Garden City where I graduated in 1949.
I went to K-State, got an architecture degree and a USAF commission and then completed pilot training. I had some interesting assignments including 13 months flying out of England in support of bases in Europe and North Africa. I landed at Don Cox’s base in France once and called him. We couldn’t get together for dinner but it was a treat to talk to a Cedar Vale friend, especially while in a foreign country.
I returned to Garden City after my AF years, and later lived in Laramie, Wyoming. I retired to Walla Walla, Washington, where I golf three days a week. It is a pretty soft life, -- but I can handle it!

Herb's Chili - Again
I know it has been asked before, but I'm still looking for the ingredients that Herb used in his yummy chili. We seem to have a few more readers now, so I am asking again.
Gary mentioned cumin, and we believe that he bought the basic seasoned bricks from the packing plant in Arkansas City. I remember seeing the bricks with orange grease covering the outside. And I remember some small pieces of port fat. And of course I always had mine mixed with his great brown beans.
Does anyone know what else he used for seasonings? I don't cook very much as I live alone...except for my 3 dogs. However, I do enjoy making chili for myself and for my occasional guests. I use ground beef instead of the pork that I think was in Herb's chili. After many years of trying I still cannot find a chili powder that I like. Herb spoiled me for so many years that I am still searching.
By the way, the nights are still forecast to be 55-60 and days 75-80 F for the rest of this year and all of next year here in the mountains of western Panama.
