Gus Bergman found that the Sunupians were in a rare mood last week. Guest Dan Storvek was fined for pulling someone’s coat tails, Glen Hammond paid $4 for not greeting. Neal McEwan paid a $2 fine for a cool IOU and Tony Shaw paid $2 for contributing to Sharlot Hall. Dennis Light was happy for Yavapai property owners and Eric was delirious for winter. Dan Davis was not happy that Feb 7, 1984 the Beatles came to America for the first time. Elaine Mansoor was happy for the 125th year of the Salvation Army. Par had an advertising buck for Wedbush having offices to rent. Jane Anne had 3 happy bucks because her youngest daughter is pregnant. Phil Goode gave a happy buck for the new Storm Ranch trail. Everyone gave a happy buck for Dan Deyer, Mike King and Val Ripley setting up and cleaning the snack shack. Par won the pot.
The Speaker was Ray Carlson: Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General George Washington Bowie was a native of Maryland. He was first commissioned into military service during the Mexican War. Assigned as a First Lt. with the 15th Infantry Regiment, he would serve with distinction during the war and would be brevetted to the rank of Major by war’s end. Returning to civilian life, he moved to California in 1850 and became involved in politics. In 1854, he was elected to 
the California state assembly. He also made unsuccessful campaigns for the United States House of Representatives in 1854, Governor of California in 1858, and California State Attorney General in 1860. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Bowie was commissioned to the rank of Colonel and assigned command of the 5th California Volunteer Infantry Regiment, serving until he was mustered out in 1864. He was brevetted Brigadier General of Volunteers on March 13, 1865 for "faithful and meritorious services".
