	01/05/16 - NNHS Newsletter - Remember Then   “Come back to me in dreams; that I may give Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: Speak low, lean low, As long ago, my love, how long ago.”  - Christina Rossetti (05 Dec 1830 - 29 Dec 1894)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates, 

   I love golden oldies - such as this one from 1962!

BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgqzb-u6Q0c - Remember Then - Larry Chance and the Earls, 1962

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Chance_and_the_Earls: 

Larry Chance and the Earls were a popular recording group from the 1960s formed in The Bronx, New York. In 1962, their single "Remember Then" was a hit, and "Life Is But a Dream," "Never" and "I Believe" also charted. As the oldies revival scene started a strong run in the early 1970s and 1980s, the Earls became one of the most requested groups in the doo-wop genre. They are still actively performing and remain on the oldies circuit...

The Earls are one of the New York City doo-wop success stories. Discovered singing on the street corner in front of subway station, the Earls took the original black doo-wop street corner harmony sound, and refined and expanded it for new audiences.

Larry Chance was the driving force behind the group's formation and success. Larry grew up in Philadelphia and attended high school with Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, and Danny Rapp of Danny and the Juniors. But it was not until 1957 that he moved with his parents to the Bronx after high school, that his musical career took off...

From My Friend, Jon, of MO - 01/02/15:

“I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the techniques of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential. When one learns to master the principles of setting a goal, he will then be able to make a great difference in the results he attains in this life.” - M. Russell Ballard (b. 08 Oct 1928)

    Thanks so much, Jon!

          From My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of TX - 01/03/15 - "Mississippi River Flooding in Missouri":

   YOWZERS! Thank you, Brent! This is so scary!

    From Aretie Gallins Patterson ('59) of TN - 01/02/16 - "The Train of Life": 

THIS IS INSPIRATIONAL.
		The Train of Life At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant - i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seats empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life. I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train. (By the way, I am not planning to get off the train anytime soon but if I do, just remember I am glad you were part of my journey.)    Thank you so much, Aretie!

From FlyLady of NC - 01/04/15 - "Think Before You Speak":

		AMEN! Thank you so very much, FlyLady! This is critically important! Words carelessly blurted out can never be recalled, and often leave lasting scars on their targets!
