Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We try to celebrate this very special day each year:

NEWS FLASH:
From
Me
('65) of IL - 01/20/10 - "Site Renewal":
As you know, our
website is up for renewal in five days (01/26/10).
Because 00FreeHost has become increasingly problematic in the last year
or so, and because we have been able to locate another server who offers
far more services for far less money, I cannot in good conscience throw
another $150.00 to 00FreeHost.com. However, switching sites is
both tedious and time consuming, and we anticipate there will be some
downtime involved - not just for the Newsletters, but possibly for
the entire site. We will try to
make this transition as painless as possible for all of us, and I will
not only add a feature which will automatically transfer you to the new
page, but I'll keep you posted with the progress if there are any
unforeseen problems.
Thanks for your patience.
NEWBIES:
Tommy
Jenkins ('66) of VA - 01/20/10 - "Alumni mailing list":

I can totally identify with your feelings of celebration over being right!

- "Site Troubles":
My Norton AV program detected two threats on the MLK newsletter page:
http://safeweb.norton.com/
Hope you do not infest somebody with a weak or no AV program.
20 JAN newsletter page also generated one alarm.
http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=00freehost.com:
"http://celestia.00fr
"http://cp.00freehost.com/cowing.html" - Viruses
"http://loveforme.00freehost.com/greeting.html" - Phishing Attacks
Something has infected the site. Time to call Freehost.
"Déjà vu all over again", hmm?
Just as it happened last summer, the various anti-virus and annoying spam programs are alerting visitors to any and all conceivable problems. 00FreeHost serves hundreds of web sites. Some of them are less savory than others. If one has a problem, the filters find them all equally guilty - even when no danger exists, such as now from us. We're fine. Nothing has infected our site. I personally may be "annoying" six ways from Tuesday, but our site constitutes no such "annoyance".
00FreeHost.com has, however, become increasingly annoying.....
Thanks for the heads-up, David!

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 01/20/09:
*************
Application
The day I started my construction job, I was in the office filling out an
employee form when I came to:
Single__, Married__, Divorced___ .
I marked single. Glancing the man next to me who was also filling out the form,
I noticed he hadn't marked any of the blanks.
Instead he'd written, "Yes, in that order."

Dixie
[From the
Richmond Dispatch, March 19, 1893.]
Dan Emmett its Author and New York the Place of Its Production.
I wish I was in the land of
cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
In Dixie land where I was born in, early on a frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Chorus:
Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Old Missus marry Will de Weaber, Will-yum was a gay deceaber,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
But when he put his arm around her,
smiled as fierce as a forty pounder.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land. (Chorus)
Dars buckwheat cakes an' ingen batter, makes you fat or a little fatter,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble to Dixie's land
I'm bound to travel,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie land. (Chorus)
