Wide eyes, eyebrows arched, closed mouth, with lips stretched tightly into a sort of schezoprenic smile. The look conveys a combination of self-confidence, concentration, and pure glee. I hope Ponderosa does scan and post the photo. It is hard to paint a word picture of Blummin-it. It must be actually seen to be appreciated.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-63817239565280043092007-06-18T11:32:00.000-07:002007-06-18T11:32:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-72365211900402359772007-06-17T21:22:00.000-07:002007-06-17T21:22:00.000-07:00Pert - wasn't there a pic of you Blumming in the a...Pert - wasn't there a pic of you Blumming in the annual - I can see you making that pose plain as day, and I think it is because there is a picture somewhere. <BR/><BR/>Now because of MBW's remarks, I am wondering if Nonny Dot was also in the picture. . .Ah, the affects of suggestion on the mind. . .Maybe that's all it is. . .Pinehurst in my Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839389283883857130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-31286253643770425482007-06-17T14:06:00.000-07:002007-06-17T14:06:00.000-07:00We Blummed it in Legion Baseball too.

You might not remember the tragic incident when Bob and Rick St. Amand of Kellogg High both went up for rebound and Bob's thumb popped Rick's eye out. I got to know Bob pretty well during baseball season and I don't think he ever really got over that. Rick lived one block behind me in Smelterville and of course, without depth perception, he was never the same at sports after that.myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-73924352151214406512007-06-17T09:58:00.000-07:002007-06-17T09:58:00.000-07:00Bob Blum...indeed a great basketball player.

Bob had scored ALL of our points. True. Yes, we tried to emulate him by actually making a basket, but we never could...we were mostly football players who looked really silly in the short shorts they called uniforms back in those days. (ps, RP, I am going to repost a story I first wrote a couple of years ago about about Bob and another basketball player Hugh Marconi, you have to scroll down and it's called "Frozen")Go Figurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908840010777729109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-56438511731894030002007-06-17T09:32:00.000-07:002007-06-17T09:32:00.000-07:00I always wondered where that fist in the ribs, elb...I always wondered where that fist in the ribs, elbows back stance came from. I remember you doing it in the halls, etc - but I obviously was not in the loop on where it originated. (One of those guy things - inside joke).<BR/><BR/>I was trying to remember the Bonner's Ferry game. You see, I had this super crush on one of the Bonner's Ferry guys. Can't remember his name now, but we wrote a letter or two my Junior year. (He may have been a yr ahead of us.) <BR/><BR/>When they came to Kellogg the next time, he was not playing. We sat in the stands and talked. He had lost one of his eyes in an accident, but he was still handsome.Pinehurst in my Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839389283883857130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-8236537834959641152007-06-17T09:22:00.000-07:002007-06-17T09:22:00.000-07:00Hilarious.
