QA Website Keeps Growing Thanks to Alums Exciting Lives Intersect Online By Sandy Murray ’55

Now in its fifth year, Queen Anne’s alumni website is about to get younger andmore technical. With Jeff Cummings ’76 taking over by summer’s end, the web-mastership will have progressed from dilettante to academic to professional. Jeff, who has a degree in graphic design, is art director of Allrecipes, “the leadingrecipe and meal-planning site on the Internet.” According to Jeff, Allrecipes is gearedmainly toward working women and offers over 20,000 recipes. At Allrecipes for 4 ½years, Jeff is responsible for the design of both the website and its series of printedcookbooks. He and his wife live in Kenmore along with their two daughters, who are8 and 18. The Queen Anne alumni website, www.qagrizzlies.org, started in early 2000, whenQAHSAA Board member Ed Bol ’81 contracted with Drizzle.com, a Seattle Internetservice provider, to create a Queen Anne website. It lay there without updating fromDrizzle until the digital dilettante, Sandy Murray ’55, persuaded Ed at the end of 2000to give him the password. At that point, the dilettante had no web experience. Hehad tried to create one for his Alaskan running club in 1995, but, just as he startedcarrying around a copy of “HTML for Dummies”, a fellow runner beat him to it andthe “Dummies” book was shelved. When Sandy keyed his way into the QA website in December 2000, he found wellover 300 e-mails unanswered, proving that Ed’s creation had found a ready alumniaudience. Sandy had recently discovered classmate Joe Moloso ’55, anthropologist,linguistics scholar, musician, Pilates black belt, polymath, on the faculty website atgargantuan Glendale Community College in Phoenix. There he has been the librarydirector as well as professor of such subjects as English literature and composition,math, music, graphic arts, and computer science for 38 years, while also serving asleading rabble-rouser in the faculty senate. Both were former KUAY editors-in-chief,Sandy with Janet Alton ’55 first semester of their senior year, and Joe with Sue Snyder’55 the second semester. Picking Joe’s brain, Sandy followed his advice to upgrade to Macromedia’sDreamweaver page creation program - a fortunately prescient suggestion since that’sthe program Jeff uses at Allrecipes.com.

2 The KUAY August 2004

From Our QAHSAA President

The “Grizzly Spirit” lives on and on, and in fact is roaring loudly! As a result ofall the photos in the last KUAY, I know of three fellow grads who were reunitedwith high school friends with whom they had lost touch. In fact, one had been toldthat the friend had died many years past. Oh the joy of seeing the “deceased”friend alive and well in a photo in the KUAY, and the added joy of their reunion! Sharing in events like this is right at the top of the list of reasons that I amgrateful to be a part of the Alumni Association. The continuing growthand continuity of the Association are also reasons that make my role mean-ingful. For example, last year the Board went out on a limb by increasingthe number of scholarships to 30. There was concern about our ability to maintainsuch a high number and what the reaction from the members would be if we had to reduce the number the nextyear. Lo and behold, your contributions this past year enabled us to keep the number at 30 scholarships again this year,along with contributions added to the continuing Heffelfinger Scholarship. I thank you all for the continuing supportand look forward to seeing you at our annual summer events. In Grizzly Fellowship, Barb

Website Continued from Page 1 With long-range tutoring from Joe, Sandy, then located in Olympia, transferred www.qagrizzlies.org to Dreamweaverand began expanding the site, adding the e-mail directory, illustrating the merchandise, updating the Events, Reunions,and Scholarship pages, creating the WWII and Vietnam Memorial sections and the occasional historical feature, doingso as best he could while struggling to control Dreamweaver’s layers, cells, and tables. Joe took over the site for a while when Sandy moved to Australia in July 2003. Now, with Sandy’s move to Costa Ricathis past March, Joe’s grabbed the fallen reins again. This time he will hand them off to Jeff, who, as a Dreamweaverprofessional, will make behave the layers, cells and tables that so bedeviled Sandy. Jeff says his initial efforts will be toupdate the look a little bit and clean up the code - nothing “grandiose” he says. He intends also to better protect the e-mail directory from spammers.

Perhaps the most important accomplishment of the website so far is that quite a few “lost” alumni have been addedto the Association’s 25,000+ database. In addition, the growing e-mail directory has enabled some old friends to findeach other. The Events, Reunions, and News pages have helped with timely information for Grizzlies, but the site couldbe even more informative if event and reunion organizers, as well as Board members and others, became habituated toe-mailing the webmaster both before and after the events and reunions. A major accomplishment has been the creation of the WWII and Vietnam memorial pages, recognizing Grizzlieswho died in these wars. While family members of those who were killed in WWII have provided crucial information,there are still 18 Gold Star Grizzlies on a missing list because they have not been found in the yearbooks. Anotherdevelopment has been the posting of each new KUAY newsletter on the website, helpful especially to many Grizzliesliving abroad, since the KUAY is not mailed to them unless they have prepaid the postage. Potential interactive elements of the website have not yet been exploited. Message boards and online payment arepossible future features for the website and QAHSAA Board to explore. In the meantime, the academic will soon be free of his advisory role, the professional will cook up something visuallysavory, while, south of the border - south of several borders - the dilettante is playing around with another website,hoping not to dirty the code.

In fact, he is the reason Ibecome a political scientist.

Although his subject washistory, he aroused my in-terest in politics so that Iknew by my senior yearwhat I was going to ma-jor in at Whitman. Themost vivid of my QAmemories are ofHeffelfinger striding intoclass, sitting down, takingoff his glasses, rubbing hiseyes, staring at the ceilingand out the window, andonly then beginning tolecture, without notes, ina muffled baritone voicethat I can hear to this day.Heffelfinger had a student

in class who worked after school at thecleaners near the corner of McGrawand Queen Anne. One of the student’sresponsibilities was to change the slo-gan on the marquee-like sign over thedoor once a week. Heffelfinger gavehim this idea: ‘Heffelfinger says evenleopard’s spots removed’.

The Franklin Finale By Hal Will ’44

Continued from The KUAY, Volume 22, Number 2

Last summer, KUAY readers were re-introduced to the story ofthe 1929 Franklin belonging to Clyde Holcomb ’45. This concludesthe series of stories about that car. Beverly (Brown) Smith-Griebel’s father offered Clyde gasoline ra-tions stamps in return for teaching Bev how to drive in the Franklin.She had to learn to double-clutch, when shifting from high to sec-ond. Bev always considered Clyde a good friend for his driving les-sons. This was just one of the numerous anecdotes sent in about thepopular old Franklin. Many fondly commented on having to push the car to save gas on level ground by Mount Pleasant Cemeteryto earn rides home to Magnolia. The car mysteriously came back to life going downhill to Interbay.

Laid Up For the Duration Clyde and I went into the service on the same day, Feb. 12, 1945. The Franklin was parked by the Holcomb’s house for the 20months that we were gone. Clyde’s letters home mentioned the Franklin occasionally but by September ’46 his letters requested thatthe Franklin be “ready to go” when he got home. He made it home from the Philippines about two weeks ahead of me and had theFranklin operational by the time I got home. I remember a white fungus had grown above a window in the back seat while we weregone, testifying to the atmospheric conditions inside the car.

The Franklin, Postwar I remember going on dates in the Franklin after the war. We also went skiing in it to Steven’s Pass. We could carry the skis insidethe car if we didn’t feel like tying them on the flat roof. The ski equipment inside forced desirable “togetherness” on ski dates. Weusually had two or three couples on ski trips. Our skis, boots, poles, socks, jackets and pants were all war surplus. The skis and poleswere white but everything else was war surplus olive drab. We were really stylish, low-budget examples of the times. The Franklin’s

heater was simply a pipe through the fire wall that captured heat from around the exhaustpipe. Cold, wet wool socks would get steaming hot in front of that hot air blast whiletraveling home. All that wet wool emitted a distinctive smell inside the car. I remember double-dating in the Franklin. We guys liked the four-on-the-floor stickshift but the girl sitting next to the driver in the center of the front seat often had aproblem when he shifted to low or high. We had a lot of laughs in that car. Clyde and I would play pranks on each other byremoving the rotor from the distributor when the other guy was to drive a date some-where. This was usually at a dance where there was a suitable audience. The hapless drivercranked and cranked before lifting the hood and finally discovering the distributor rotorwas missing. By then the prankster would appear with the needed rotor amidst laughter

from all that were in on the joke. We didn’t dare lose the rotor because a replacement would have been very difficult to find.

Saying Goodbye The Franklin finally became impractical to keep running; but, I don’t remember the details of the accumulative troubles. I had myown car so was not with Clyde in the Franklin very often anymore. I do remember the very tough decision to deliver that faithfulold car to the junk yard. I think Clyde’s decision was helped along by Clyde Sr., a very practical man. The Franklin would no longerrun and repairs were financially impractical. When the day came to do it, we found a heavy rope and began a very emotional tow jobwith my car. The bumpers on both cars were easy to wrap a rope around. Clyde rode in the Franklin to steer and brake. It was liketaking a beloved pet on its final trip to the vet. I think we each had tears in our eyes as our little procession headed for Fitz AutoWrecking out on Aurora Avenue. We broke the rope once in Ballard and once farther out. We stopped and re-tied it each timewithout exchanging a word. I think we both were afraid of revealing a shaky emotional voice or worse, tears. It was very difficultto turn our backs on our old friend there at Fitz. It wasn’t just a piece of old machinery. It was symbolic of many happy memoriesfor both of us…many of us.

Gould’s Generosity Results In Founda-tion Donation to Scholarship Fund

The Providence General Foundation of Everett senta donation to the QAHSAA Scholarship Fund in honorof Budd Gould ’58. “Budd, owner of Anthony’s Res-taurants, has been a generous supporter of local non-profit agencies for many years,” wrote Providence. Gould has donated his restaurant facilities to the Prov-idence Foundation for its “Epicurean Affair” event for 18 years, resulting in $800,000raised to date for the Prenatal Care Center, and the Heart and Vascular Institutes atthe Everett Medical Center. Gould started in the restaurant and seafood business during the start-up of Skipper’sFish N Chips. Waterfront restaurants became his focus, and today Gould owns 18restaurants - all in the Anthony Restaurants group. It’s safe to say that local QA gradsare familiar with his restaurants. Gould’s accomplishment as a local businessman andphilanthropist is well represented by this donation to the QA Scholarship Fund.

Do You Remember Henk? Coach Henkel Stories Sought

Erwin Henkel (1902-1988) was one of Queen Anne’s most colorful characters. Known as CoachHenkel to earlier generations, and simply as “Henk” to later students, Mr. Henkel taught generationsof boys to become men and to think for themselves. Henk arrived at Queen Anne in the fall of 1926 and retired from there in 1964. He coached thebaseball team and taught PE classes. He expected the best from everyone, and let you know if you

didn’t make the effort. He spent his last years at Queen Anne Manor. Every boy who went through Queen Anneduring Henk’s 38 years there has a memory of Mr. Henkel and a story about something he did or said. “Spend yourmoney, sleep in the street!” We’d like to collect those memories and put together an “album” of Henkel stories for grads to read. We know youhave such a story or remember a Henkel quote. Send it in! Please keep your stories short and specific - One or twoparagraphs should do it. Send them to: Kuay Editor, PO Box 9128, Seattle, WA 98109 or e-mail: jhennes1@mindspring.com.

World War II’s “Flyboys” and Its Connection to Magnolia and Queen Anne By Hal Will ’44

The new book “Flyboys” by best-selling author James Bradley, has a definite linkto Magnolia and Queen Anne. It describes in detail how Magnolia native BillConnell ’42 earned the unique distinction of being the last American to leave theJapanese Island of Chichi Jima alive. Bill loved the Navy and visited the Navy ships anchored in Elliott Bay for FleetWeek or at any other opportunity. He also thought it would be neat to fly, so NavyAir is where he headed after high school. Skipping ahead to July 4, 1944, finds Bill at the controls of his Navy dive-bomberwith gunner, Ben Wolf, at his station. They had lifted off the carrier Hornet at 5a.m. and by 7 a.m. were starting their dive to bomb a Japanese ship entering theharbor at Chichi Jima. An anti-aircraft shell exploded by the plane stunning Bill.When he tried to regain control he discovered the tail and the right wing were gone.The plane was falling like a leaf. Bill jettisoned their bombs and yelled for Ben to get out! After waiting a shortperiod Bill bailed out and was captured as he floated in the harbor. He never didfind out what happened to Ben. After seven days blindfolded, handcuffed and interrogated, Bill was taken to IwoJima. He sat on the tarmac for about five hours, then was put in the rear seat of atwo-engine bomber, still tied and blindfolded, and was flown to the Tokyo areawhere he was put in the Ofuna POW camp outside Yokohama. Pilots were treated worse than other POWs. Bill spent the rest of the war hereuntil the Japanese surrender in August 1945. It was only then that Bill learned thefact and the reason for his unique title as last American to leave Chichi Jima alive.The other eight Flyboys captured on Chichi Jima were executed various ways at thepleasure of high ranking Japanese officers. Twenty-year-old George H.W. Bush was shot down at Chichi Jima on Sept. 2, butwas rescued by the U.S. submarine Finback. The Navy had informed Bill Connell’sfamily that he was missing in action in 1944. They lived with that news for over ayear. Two weeks after the Japanese surrender they received a brief telegram fromBill, “I’m well, happy, flying home.”

How Far Would You Go to Get to School? By Glo (Gleason) Holcomb ’46 We have all heard the stories like “I trudged barefoot through drifting snow for 2-3-5 miles to get to school in my day.” The trek to QueenAnne High School was a little less demanding for most of us. But for Corrine (Anderson) Anderson ’28 to get an education at Queen Anne,it WAS tough! Corrine started her schooling in Bangor, in a one-room school house where drinking water had to be fetched by bucket fromsome distance away. Her family later moved to Keyport. When it came time for high school at QA, the trip to get there was truly daunting.Each day Corrine would go to the Keyport ferry dock with 25 other students to ride one of the “Mosquito Fleet” steam boats across PugetSound. During the 90-minute trip they would play cards, chat or study. Upon docking in Seattle, Corrine and friends would then travel by street car through Seattle and up the Counterbalance, and then climb,on foot, the Galer Street steps. By 5:15 pm they would leave Seattle for the trip back across the water. Corrine passed away in January. Her daughter Connie (Anderson) Graebner ’63, and husband Alden Graebner ’63 are my neighbors andtold me the story. Connie’s brothers Gary ’58 and Grover ’61 also are QA Grads.
