CLASS NOTES Alaska so as not to give our wives a sense of false hope for our physiques. “Maxwell ‘K-Dawg’ Bulloch is still living up in Jasper, Alabama, about an hour or so from here. He and his family came down for a visit a few months ago for the Alabama versus Florida game. We had a great time watching the Tide stomp a mud hole in the Gators. He is working at US Steel near Birmingham where he had been the Casey Jones of the plant and was driving a huge train around the place and hauling ... well, whatever it is they haul ... but he was recently promoted and is now in charge of a whole bunch of people and does stuff ... fancy steel plant leadership stuff. In his spare time, he has been raising a whole bunch of chickens and selling the eggs at a local farmers market for less than market price and stealing business from the other chicken farmers. “Jim ‘Jimbo’ Motley and his family are living in South Carolina. Jimbo is still with the Secret Service and is doing some really high speed, Mach two with my hair on fire type stuff ... He told me all about what he is doing in great detail but said I can’t tell anyone about it since it is a secret. Jimbo says he is planning on hiking the Appalachian Trail during the middle of the winter next year, just because he can ... and that is all he had to say about that. “John ‘Hammer’ Cunningham and the girls still live in Connecticut. He travels to Mexico quite a bit for work and says he has become quite a connoisseur of Mexican cuisine and tequila (which I thought he already was). He said that he is currently in the planning stages of opening a Mexican themed food truck to serve the business district of Hartford. He said that all the food will be organic and that everything will be infused with tequila. He said he is going to call the business ‘Hammer’s Hacienda de Nachos Libres’ in honor of himself and that crappy Jack Black movie where he plays a fat Mexican wrestler. “Christian Cornelius Robert Badger, aka Kit Badger, and his family live near Denver. Kit continues to work for Bates Engineering doing large water reservoir type projects and other fancy stuff like that ... perhaps the fanciest duty that he performs: Kit is the voice of the automated phone directory. I like to call and listen to Badger’s

voice tell me who is at each extension. If you are interested in calling, the number is 303-980-1212. In his spare time, Kit helps coach his son’s wrestling teams and both are doing great and crushing their opponents. Kit informed me that he recently won the prestigious King of Karaoke contest for the greater Denver area for his age group and musical category. He had been competing in the ’80s hair band category but switched last year to the ’70s disco category. He brought the coveted trophy home with a stirring rendition of the Bee Gees’ ‘Staying Alive.’ That’s all I’ve got for updates, Pig. Again, please pass my thanks along in the next notes to all the BRs who supported my spouse ... including yourself. I hope all is well and look forward to seeing you this year at the ‘I.’ Love, Breezer.” I don’t think I could have said it any better. Chris did leave out the fact that he spent two weeks on the Kentucky bourbon trail after Ohio State University beat the University of Alabama. I guess that also means that Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University beat Alabama since they did beat Ohio State. We will save a spot for Chris and Mandy at the next mini reunion. I also had a recent article in the Richmond Times Dispatch and on CBS channel 6 brought to my attention. It was a story I had no idea about, but after watching the video online and reading the article, I found a greater respect for Damon Richardson. I could not do the story justice myself, and I ask that all brother rats take a moment and look it up. I want to lastly say congrats to Jimmy and Tiffany Bratina. They welcomed a little boy, Milo, into the fold Dec. 5, 2014. I received word after putting this together that three of our Air Force brother rats have been selected for promotion to colonel. They are Dale Hybl, Mike Weaver and Sang Yoo. Congrats, brother rats. Way to represent the Class of ’94. Please reach out to me with any updates, and if anyone wants to be a guest writer such as Chris, please send me whatever you would like to post. Always, Pig
