“A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.”

- Edgar Guest
(20 Aug 1881 – 05 Aug 1959)

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead,_kindly_Light:

Lead, Kindly Light is a hymn with words written in 1833 by John Henry Newman as a poem titled "the Pillar of Cloud". In some hymnals, one may find a fourth verse added by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. It is usually sung to the tune Lux Benigna, composed by John Bacchus Dykes in 1865; or to Alberta, by William H Harris. Libera, a London-based boys choir, released a new interpretation of the song with an original composition and additional Latin lyrics by their musical director, Robert Prizeman, as track 10 in their album Peace (March 2010).^[1]^[2]

As a young priest, John Newman became sick while in Italy and was unable to travel for almost three weeks. In his own words:

Before starting from my inn, I sat down on my bed and began to sob bitterly. My servant, who had acted as my nurse, asked what ailed me. I could only answer, "I have a work to do in England." I was aching to get home, yet for want of a vessel I was kept at Palermo for three weeks. I began to visit the churches, and they calmed my impatience, though I did not attend any services. At last I got off in an orange boat, bound for Marseilles. We were becalmed for whole week in the Straits of Bonifacio, and it was there that I wrote the lines, Lead, Kindly Light, which have since become so well known.

Lead, Kindly Light was sung by a soloist on the RMS Titanic during a hymn-singing gathering led by Rev. Ernest C. Carter, shortly before the ocean liner struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912.^[3]

Dinner with Foxes and Confederate Money

December 1, 2011

By H a r r y C o v e r t

I

I always chuckled hearing the old line, “Save yore Confederate money boys, the South’s gonna rise again.” Andy Griffith made that famous.

For years as a gag, I had fun using $100 confederate bills as a notepad, long before we had the joy of electronic mail. It felt good using first-class U.S. stamps especially to those Yankee carpetbaggers who invaded the Commonwealth for fame, fortune and good living.

So, now we are in the sesquicentennial commemoration of what many still refer to as the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between the States. A history buff can really get involved with all of the “celebrations” scheduled through 2015.

I wasn’t giving much thought to the Civil War period until recently visiting Reigate,

Confederate Currency

Surrey, the beautiful historic market town in England. My friends Margaret Edwards and Wendy Allen took me to a neighborhood weekend barbecue. The food was terrific and the people made me feel at home, even the three red foxes – mother, daddy and young foxes – who watched us eat, waiting for scraps, which they received.

These foxes had adopted the back yard of the hosts and were unbelievably tame, only afraid of a large white cat that kept them at bay. The fox family would frequently walk slowly around the beautiful flowers and shrubs, checking every now and then the availability of tasty morsels.

Across the table from me sat a delightful white-haired gentleman who introduced himself as Stephen Straker. “I heard you are a Yank?” he said and laughed. “No sir, I’m a Virginian.” I corrected with a smile.

Mr. Straker informed me his family had had a long association with Virginia and the Confederate States of America, noting the 150^th anniversary commemorations were underway. I was impressed.

He was right on the money. He mentioned his longtime friend, Phillip Melville, of Alexandria. It’s a small world I said. And it is.

The CSA’s Printing Plates

Mr. Straker explained that among his prized family possessions were the actual printing plates of Confederate States of America currency in denominations of $1, $10, $20, $50 and $100. His forebears’ company had contracted to print CSA currency back in 1861. The family business was forced to use great care in providing the paper money and ship to the southern ports, through British Caribbean possessions.

Just how the Straker family firms were paid I didn’t find out but I figured they traded for cotton and tobacco. They were enterprising businessmen in those days as well as today.

I could hardly wait to return to Alexandria and report my discovery to E. Hunt Burke, chairman of Burke & Herbert Bank. Burke and Herbert, established in 1852, held deposits of the CSA and the U.S. and for years maintained the Lee family’s personal papers.

I’ve also discovered that the first CSA dollar was issued into circulation in April 1861 when the CSA was only two months old. According to experts, the currency was “not actually money, but bills of credit.” The paper was not secured by hard assets.

My stock of $100 CSA notepaper has been long depleted. Before running out, I did try to use one of the bills to secure membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I was refused unless I paid with some U.S. Federal Reserve Notes containing pictures of Washington, Jefferson or Lincoln and none with Jefferson Davis.

Similar to my notepads, the CSA currency is worthless. Any CSA currency existing today would be highly valuable. The most valuable though are those items that say, “this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.”

Every Spy a Patriot

By H a r r y C o v e r t

It’s no secret that Alexandria, Virginia, has one of the largest populations of taxpayers who are either retired or active spies. Many have played extraordinary roles and distinguished themselves in defending America and its allies.

These folks have had a lifetime of working behind the scenes, out of the glare of public recognition. That’s part of the game and they keep their oath not to talk out of school. Only as the years pass do details leak. Usually friends and neighbors are surprised and amazed at what can be described as derring-do among those with whom they’ve lived, shopped and raised families.

The afternoon came when my office telephone rang. The voice on the other end was forceful and direct. “What do you know about a sheriff’s association in Texas?”

OSS Veteran Anne Mary Ingraham

“Pardon me?” I said.

“I always get these letters asking for money and I like to know about them before I give any money,” she interrupted. “I live in Old Town and thought you’d know.”

Okay, another crank on the phone or somebody who just wants to talk. I tried to explain that I was partial to the Alexandria Sheriff’s Association and the National Sheriff’s Association. “Well, I know about some of this stuff.”

I was trying to humor her along and not to appear unconcerned.

Will Bill’s Formidable Driver

With a name like yours you ought to know something,” We chuckled. I asked how she knew so much about sheriffs and police. We were off to the races and talked for over an hour. The then 85-year-old Anne Mary Ingraham of Royal Street, Alexandria, explained she was born and raised in Scotland. At the beginning of WWII, she worked for an aircraft company.

In 1942, she joined the motor pool of Services of Supply (SOS) driving all vehicles including a half-track and was assigned a 2½ ton truck.

In October, 1944, she was recruited by the London-based Office of Special Services (OSS) and became a driver for General William Donovan, founder of the OSS, forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). She was later was assigned to the OSS in Washington.

As Mrs. Ingraham took control of our conversation, I “googled” the OSS Society. She gave me the full and accurate details.

She invited me to come by for a visit and talk her days. I suggested she’d be a great subject for a newspaper story or broadcast interview. “No, we did what we had to do and there were lots of people who did their duty.”

She had been and was then a senior vice president of the McLean-based OSS Society. She had been a 30-year resident of Alexandria and was an active life member of the city’s American Legion Post 24. One of her favorite activities was representing the OSS and Post 24 in Alexandria’s yearly President’s Day parade.

Ms. Ingraham, a horsewoman, was also an active member of Alexandria’s St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the mother of one daughter, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

I never dropped by her house for a visit much to my regret. She died at her home at age 88 on Dec. 12, 2009. She was a treasure trove and one of the unexpected callers who make life exciting and right at home.

WOWZERS! Thanks so much, Harry!

MILESTONES & STOPPING OFF POINTS

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 04:55 PM PST

By NORMAN M. COVERT

The Covert Letter must take this space to announce that today, Friday, Dec. 30, 2011 marks the final day of Harry Covert’s formal employment. After five years on the job, he officially retires from his duty as public information officer for the City of Alexandria (Va.) Sheriff’s Department.

Harry Covert

Harry has been working the long and unpredictable hours of a professional journalist, writer, editor and public relations practitioner since 1957.

It is time for him to take a break from the daily grind. His decision to retire was on-again, off-again, but the timing matched up well and his desk has been emptied this afternoon. The department and many friends and colleagues will give him an official sendoff next week.

Retirement is the only thing I was able to get over on Harry in our sibling rivalry. I retired in 1999. Brother Harry has been advised that the future will just be different and what he makes of it. Take a little time off, I advised, then get back to the charitable projects that still fill so many of his non-duty hours, and don’t forget we both have www.thecovertletter to feed.

It seems not so long ago (1964) that Harry and I sat in the Sports Department of the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press in what might be described as pilot and bombardier fashion. Being the rookie, I had the desk closest to the doorway, he sat just behind. It was a good arrangement that allowed us to pool our resources when the deadline loomed and we needed two more hands on the typewriters.

In addition to major sports assignments, Harry had the professional and amateur golf beat as one of the plum details on the staff. He spent weekends knocking around golf courses in the region. It included his covering the Masters Tournament, one of several events that created a close race to file his story in time to get home for the birth of his sons Harry Edward, Alan Scott and Christopher Ross.

One of several Daily Press column
heads for Harry's opinion pieces
in either sports or news. This one
circa 1968

One of several Daily Press column heads for Harry's opinion pieces in either sports or news. This one circa 1968.

Harry was instrumental in my being hired by Daily Press General Manager Robert B. Smith, who packed me off to the Williamsburg Bureau.

Harry was assisted by his Newport News High School Journalism teacher John (Scooter) Huller, who convinced Sports Editor Gene Markham of the The Times-Herald to hire the 17-year-old a matter of days after his graduation. Good fortune and friends put us in the hands of numerous mentors at the Daily Press.

I’ll use the word matriculated to note Harry’s career because he managed to develop his craft with every change in newspapers and publications. Drawing strictly on my memory, Harry’s successful journalistic road saw him serve a stint in the College of William and Mary Sports Information Office; write news and sports for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot; manage the Hampton (Va.) Bureau of the Daily Press; found, edit and publish The Hampton Monitor; be city editor of the Petersburg (Va.) Progress-Index; and accept the challenge of public relations representative and editor of official publications for The Rev. Jerry Falwell’s Thomas Road Baptist Church ministry in Lynchburg (Va.), including Liberty University.

In addition, he joined the staff of Insight Magazine of The Washington Times and did other public relations and fund raising work with such internationally known figures as The Rev. Larry Jones’ Feed the Children charity and The Rev. Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse.

Harry was ordained himself and established a ministry that continues to obtain medical supplies and equipment for transport to Third World countries. He continues as a director with World Emergency Relief-Emerge Poverty Free out or London, England, and Amsterdam, Holland, and has been instrumental in sending relief to an orphanage and school in the aftermath of the tragic earthquake in Haiti.

Election handout for
Lynchburg (Va.) State
Senate Seat. Harry
lost a close election.

He also has been a sports official, was barely defeated in two elections for seats in the Virginia General Assembly, operated his own bail bonds business and served as a magistrate in Fairfax, Va.

Working to provide news and information regarding activities of Alexandria Sheriff Dana Lawhorne’s department has earned Harry the respect of Washington Metropolitan area news media.

The attempt here has not been to give you curriculum vitae of Brother Harry’s distinguished career, rather to mark this milestone in his life.

The late Dwight McSmith of Hampton, a former NASA-Langley Engineer and fount of sage advice, wrote a column for The Hampton Monitor called “Hmmm! Along With Me.” He advised the young entrepreneur:

“Harry, whatever you do in life, don’t be a one-note player.”

Harry has turned out an etude or two on his typewriter, computer, and smart phone and as we advised at the bottom of developing news stories, with him there is certainly “mortucom.”

Best wishes in your retirement, brother. You’ve earned a hiatus.

WOWZERONI! Thank you so much, Norm - and congratulations, Harry!

From Gene Shelton ('64) of VA - 12/31/11, 11:55 AM - "Another favor":

Hello Carol,

I have another request. A friend from my past has come to mind. I wonder If I could obtain some pictures from his yearbook when he was a senior at Phoebus High School in the Class of '80. His name is Robert Bruce Evans. I knew Bruce through our medical service at several hospitals when we discovered that I had taught several of his friends in Hampton. If you can locate and send me any of his senior pictures, they would be greatly appreciated. Bruce no longer has his yearbooks. Like most of us, they become lost, misplaced or destroyed during our many moves.

Happy New Year!

(Hmmm... This is soooo far over my head... Time to call in our Wizard of Wonderment...)

Oh, Da-vid!

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 12/31/11, 1:39 PM - "RE: Phoebus HS Yearbooks":

Phoebus HS yearbooks are housed at the Hampton Library on Victoria Boulevard.

Might be a while before I can get there to locate the images.

Tell Gene that one of your agents is on the job.

   Thank you, David! Nobody does it better!

From Mary Blandford McGehee ('62) of LA - 12/31/11, 7:03 PM - "RE: Newsletter":

Hi, Carol,

Happy New Year, and thanks for your wonderful newsletter!

Wonder how many bell aficionados we have? On April 22, 2012, Sunday, at 3 pm, the Raleigh Ringers will perform at Willett Hall in Portsmouth. I'm not familiar with that venue, but I do know that the Raleigh Ringers are the number 1 bell ringer choir in the U.S. We heard them at Gulfport on the Gulf Coast last summer, and they were more than worth the three hour drive for us from Baton Rouge! They also put on a good show!

The concert is sponsored by the Portsmouth Community Concert organization, so more info will be available from them and at the web site for Raleigh Ringers.

Take care, and again, Happy New Year, Carol.
Mary McGehee
   Well, here I am an hour away from Raleigh, and I never heard of them before! How embarrassing! Thank you so much for this information, Mary; it sounds like a wonderful opportunity for many of our subscribers to enjoy a fabulous evening!

From Bill Campbell ('54) of VA - 12/31/11, 7:33 PM:

Hi Carol,

Each time I go to your website, I reflect upon what a jewel you are for your good work in keeping as many Typhoons together as wish to be kept together.

Now, I have seen this work before, so I am going to try it here. If anyone who reads this will donate $25 to keep this website 'on the air', I will match it. Just the FIRST $25. I am still not yet made of money, although my only forgotten son, Bill Jr., continues to think that I am.

So, as the old barkers at Buckroe used to say, 'Step right up, folks, who is going to be first?'

Take care, folks. Happy New Year to all.

Bill C.

   GASP! Thank you so much, Bill! I'm rather overwhelmed!

   Several of your fellow subscribers generously sent me contributions in the past couple of weeks, and instead of hoarding them like a good little girl, I paid a couple of bills which were coming due early and then foolishly squandered the rest on Christmas and Christmas related items (which was great fun, I must say). Then I just remembered today that the server fees would come due on February 25.

From Ivan Anker ('67) of VA - 12/31/11, 7:47 PM - "Happy New Year":

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and good health.
I found a great rendition of Barry Manilow's ( either you love him or hate him ) " Just Another New Year's Eve " on YouTube. I hope you will include it in next year's New Year's Eve Newsletter.

Keep up the fantastic work that you do for all of us.

Lead, Kindly Light

Lyrics by John Henry Newman, 1833
(21 Feb 1801 – 11 Aug 1890)

Fourth Verse written by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.

Music by John B. Dykes, 1865
(10 Mar 1823 – 22 Jan 1876)

Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!

So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it will,
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
