|
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
|
You may have noticed in
the last two or three Newsletters that some thumbnail images which should
have been there were missing. This one is no exception. Allow me
to explain. We moved the computer setup from one room to another.
When we were ready to reconnect the Handy-Dandy scanner/printer/copier, we
found we needed an extension cord. There was a delay. Then we
located a cord. Now it seems we need a three-prong adapter.
There's another delay...... Sigh....... Have no fear. Once I'm back fully operational, I'll make the scans and add them to all the back issues where they belong, as though they were there all along. Revisionist history is fun. As long as
I'm the one revising it.

BIRTHDAYS:
Happy
Birthday to one of my oldest friends,  Jeannie Collier Fitzgerald ('65) of
VA. Jeannie was in Mrs. Hatcher's first grade class
with me at Magruder, and lived a block behind me, where I spent much
of my time. Have a super day, Lady!

Chandler
Nelms
Chandler Darlin',
You're right. That just
doesn't make good sense. You certainly don't look or act anything at all
like my former conceptions of what 61 would be. Perhaps it's the water in
Maryland. And I certainly can't imagine you afflicted with any such
old-age maladies.
Party on, Gorgeous!

PHYSICIANS:
From Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of VA - 01/23/06 - "Doctors":
|
Carol,
Please tell
Thanks, Kathy! As usual, I'm out of time, but I'll add this soon! |
From
Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 01/23/06:
|
CBD,
I am most grateful for the remarks
regarding Doctors Frank Robert (no "s"!) and Robert Frank.
As fate would have it, I have had positive experiences with both of them
in my time. Surely, I always leave the possibility that I could be wrong,
but my "GP" was Dr. Frank Robert. We made note of that "play on words" or
in this case, names.
Dr. Robert Frank, surgeon, comes into
the picture as saving the life of my wife Linda by removing her
gangrenous gall bladder; an issue that was being treated by a, to be
unnamed doctor, as a continuing case of the "flu". After the surgery, he
remained by her bedside all night. How often does that happen? She was a
sick, sick puppy!
An "anti-biotic" specialist was called
in to confer and prescribed a prescription that at that time cost $100.00
a pill! After much, much worry and concern, Linda pulled through. Dr.
Robert Frank is to be given the majority of the credit for that!
Perhaps there was a third doctor by the
name of Frank Roberts; mine was Frank Robert and was a general
practitioner. He was an outstanding doctor and if he has "gone", I am
certainly saddened.
Take Care!
RWS
WOWZERONI-RINI!!! Thanks, Wayne Honey! As I said, I ran out of time before I could attend to this section, but I'll add this soon! |
From
Donnie Satisky ('56) of OR - 01/23/06:
Mary Immaculate Hospital
was named (Elizabeth) Buxton Hospital first, named
after (the wife of) Dr. Joseph Buxton. I was born in the Buxton
Hospital in 1938, and Dr. Russell Buxton, the founder's son, was
still practicing there until the hospital was sold to the Order that bought
it and changed the name. I was delivered by Dr. Emmanuel (Mandy)
Greenspon, as was my sister, 
Franki Satisky ('68), in 1949. Dr. Greenspon was a first cousin to my
father, Aaron Satisky, who also attended NNHS.
Dr. Greenspon moved his office from 28th Street and Madison Avenue to the
location next to the Boulevard Pharmacy
after the grocery store that was located there was torn down. The original
owner of the grocery store that was located there was Mr. Harcum, who
was our next door neighbor on Ash Avenue from 1942 to about 1948.Best, Donnie Satisky Oh, cool! I've been hurting my poor shriveled brain trying to remember Dr. Greenspon's first name. Thanks so much, Donnie! I'll try to address this section first thing in the morning! |
From
Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA - 01/23/06 - "Dr. Frank Robert":
|
Dr. Frank C. Robert (no "s" on the end, please, as he would tell
me!)
I first met Frank Robert when I went to work for him at the NASA Space
Task Group at Langley (later to become the Johnson Space Center in
Houston, Texas) back in 1959. Frank was an aeronautical engineer
in the Life Systems Division at that time. The division was comprised of
engineers and physicians working on the life support systems that would
keep America's astronauts alive while in space.
Frank left NASA and obtained a position at an all-girls school in Rome,
Georgia for a short time. Then, he left there and enrolled in medical
school. When he came back to Hampton and went into private practice as a
physician, he became the personal physician to many in my family. From
time to time, I would run into Frank whenever I frequented Hampton General
Hospital during my pregnancies. More often than not, I would find Frank
with his head in a reference book looking up one ailment or another. He
loved to learn and would always go the extra mile to educate himself on
his patient's ailments.
I moved away for a while and lost touch. I hope he isn't the Dr. Roberts
that someone said had passed away 15 years ago.
Renee Helterbran Benton, Class of '59
Now that's a cool story! Thanks, Renee! And I'll post it tomorrow, as I said. |
From Cookie Phillips Tyndall ('64) of VA - 01/24/06:
Until
Jean (Poole) (Burton - '64 - of RI) mentioned Dr. Greenspon, I
had forgotten that he removed my tonsils at the age of 13. The surgery was
at the former Mary Immaculate Hospital. I
was attending Briarfield Elementary School
at the time. He was a wonderful doctor.Thanks, Cookie! Isn't it wonderful how our memories can be sparked by only a word or two here and there?!? Uh, ahem, that's right, I'll add it tomorrow! GIGGLES!!!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/physicians.html Oh, Cookie, I should hope that I wouldn't forget your adorable brother's birthday! I've written myself notes for the remainder of the January birthdays, but even that doesn't always help me to remember. In Charlie's case, however, forgetting would be particularly appalling. For one thing, he's exactly seven months older than I am. More importantly, I owe him a great deal. Back in the spring and
summer of 2000 when I was living "behind enemy lines" in the middle of
Illinois, when I had no hope of ever seeing any of y'all ever again in this
world, he encouraged me not only to start this web page, but to dream and
hope and believe that it was possible to actually attend my
35-Year Reunion in 2000. At the
time, my circumstances were such that I thought that was roughly akin to
believing I could fly to the moon on my broomstick. But Charlie
and
And my life was forever altered. How do you thank someone
for changing your life??

Woolard Price (Hampton

In the
Jan 20th newsletter,
I mentioned the Lighthouse Restaurant was owned by Don DeBlasio.....it
may very well have been called Don's, also.
AHHHH! A clue! Thanks, Gloria! |

Timing":

Hi, Captain Dave:
Man, talk about great timing. Thanks for getting the
shot of
Sam's
sign before it was leveled. I remember that location being the
establishment known as Don's Restaurant.
So many changes will come to
Phoebus when
Fort Monroe is closed by the US
Army that none of us will recognize the place. Thanks for capturing the
images!
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Wasn't that simply incredible?!? Thanks, Adonis! And thanks again. David! |
From
Donnie Satisky ('56) of OR - 01/23/06:
| Carol, Sam's Restaurant in Phoebus was Don's Restaurant first, if it is the restaurant located at the old bridge leading from Phoebus to Ft. Monroe, and Old Point Comfort, i.e. where the Chamberlin Hotel was located. I still remember the pier at the foot of the road where the Chamberlin was located where the passenger boats arrived from Baltimore and Washington D.C. In fact one of the boats that used to make that journey was sold and became the ship Exodus that brought refugees from Europe to Palestine/Israel. There was a ticket office and arrival center on the pier. WOWZERS and DOUBLE-WOWZERS!!! That is wayyyy cool!! Thank you for telling us that, Donnie! Okay, as soon as I finish with the physicians, I'll aim for the restaurants, and then I may even at last add the dentists..... Anyway, enough rambling. I just heard that our class (NNHS 1956) will have its 50 year reunion on October 21st. I am sure someone in Newport News will contact you. Best, Donnie Satisky Oh, SUPER!!! I'll be more than happy to promote it! Thanks again, Donnie! |
STUART GARDENS:
From Debby Fink Golden ('65) of MA - 01/23/06:
|
Carol, I remember two of my family's addresses in the apartments in Stuart Gardens - 1288 and 1330 Ferguson Avenue (wasn't that name changed to Garden Drive?). 
Mike Miller ('65 - of NC) and 
Todd Givens ('65 - of Northern VA) lived in one of the courts (1288
address I think) and the Fitzgerald boys lived in the other court
about one or two doors away from my family. Bobby Fox ('63 - of
IA) also lived a few doors down from us. We later moved to a house on
16th Street - 968 I think. Mary Ruth Sanders ('65 - later
transferred to FHS??) lived on 15th Street and I think Nancy Lewis
(Vick - '65 - of KY??) lived on 14th Street. I may not always
remember where I parked my car in the lot at the mall, but I DO remember
fondly Stuart Gardens.Debby Fink Golden '65 |
|
WOWZERONI, Lady!
What a memory
you have! I am so wildly impressed! I had forgotten all about
Garden Drive's former name! |
|||
 |
In the summer of 1960 after my father's death necessitated our moving from
the
Stuart Homes
apartments to a smaller apartment in
Stuart Gardens,
we lived at 1353 Roanoke Avenue. We were on the outside of the court, just at the street. The bus stopped right outside our apartment. Carol Lee Campbell ('59) lived in our same building, and Bubba Taylor ('61) lived further back in our court. I think his sister, Sandra ('59), may have already married and moved away by the time we moved there. Several years later, the Levine sisters, Marlene ('64) and Joan ('67) moved to an apartment at the back of the court. |

|
1353 Roanoke
Avenue |

The previous occupants of our apartment were Mr. and Mrs. Marks. I can no longer recall their first names. His name may have been Harry. She was a long-time employee of Nachman's. They had left a mezuzah attached to the portal to our doorway. I insisted that we leave it there. The neighbor closest to us, just kitty-cornered from our door, was Mrs. Rose Binder, grandmother of many NNHS graduates - Stanley ('62) and Wilma ('67) Binder come quickly to mind. For some reason, I'm thinking that Alan Gerber ('66) is also one of her grandsons, but that could be one of my "rearranged" memories. Mrs. Binder was the most remarkable woman I've ever known. During the persecutions around the time of the Russian Revolution, she hid out in the forests with her children for three years - a fact which boggles my mind each time I recall it. She spoke no English, yet I could somehow understand her meaning. I used to visit with her on her front step quite often. From time to time she would bake Mama and me delicious coffee cakes and bring them to our door. She would never enter our apartment; the mezuzah notwithstanding, she knew perfectly well that we were not keeping an Orthodox home, but she was one of the best neighbors we ever had. How I cried when she passed away! Mama took me out of school so that we could attend her funeral together. My goodness! As |

brother
(Steve Kiger - '66 - of VA) and I have a talent for recalling
trivia - and he always refers to former residences we lived by 1141 Garden
Drive (or) 1306 16th Street.....  (Steve,
why aren't you home today-I'm not at work today and you could solve this)
Our apartment..1306 16th Street
was on the
very edge of all the Stuart Garden apartments..it was a 3 bedroom with an
upstairs on the end of several single story apartments
- in 1962 - 1966, when we lived there (my 2nd - 5th and Steve (Kiger)'s
9th - 12th...it was part of Stuart
Gardens and not Stuart Homes..
it was not brick like the ones you say are Stuart Homes...Your
Stuart Homes at 1309 16th, must have been down and on the other side of
16th....our side living room window faced 16th, our address was 16th, but
our front door faced the direction of the water....a ways over...but in
that direction.....we were on the Stuart Gardens side of 16th -
practically at the intersection I described.....it was quite a 'move up'
from the tiny, tiny 2 bedroom apartment that we resided in at 1141 Garden
Drive, 1955 (or before that even) - 1962...
Our
kitchen door faced the backyards and clothes lines of Barb Houston's
(Stuart Gardens) kitchen door and Beth/Lester Wingrove , as
well as Jerry/Joel Fishers back door...

Oh. OH!
OHHHHHH!!!!!! When you said you lived on the edge, I got it - at long last! That's where we used to catch the bus - just across the street from you (except that we moved out two years before you moved in). So we lived at 1309, and the two houses just to our west were 1307 and 1305, and you were across the street - at 1306, just as you said. |

for the memories.":

Hi, Fred:
Just a quick note to let you know how much I have
enjoyed reading your comments in several of the
Newsletters
published by
Carol Buckley Harty ('65 - of NC). Your knowledge of the Virginia
Peninsula is so great and we are much the better because you share it with
us.
For those who have moved from Newport News and Hampton
for whatever reason, mainly corporate transfers it is a special occasion
to receive Carol's Newsletters that carry current events, as well as
glances of the past. The Now and Then photos are special to those of us
who long to visit the Peninsula from day to day. Your historical
perspective and facts have added so much to our appreciation of
Our Old Stomping Grounds.
Keep sharing the history of Newport News and Hampton!
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
I always love hearing from Fred too, Joe! He completely blows me away. He has been able to clarify so many questions in all our minds. I have more of his essays that he sent me months ago to share. I was just thinking of adding some today when I had such an enormous response from so many, I wasn't able to carry it today. Yesssss, I definitely think we'll be needing a Bonus Newsletter quite soon now...... Thanks, Adonis - and
Fred!

From Dee Hodges Bartram ('66) of VA - 01/23/06:
| Thank you so
much, Carol, for putting the notice out there for the decals. I saw your note questioning the class colors. The Committee had a discussion about this before going forward. NNHS colors were gold and blue but later changed to burnt orange and blue. Albert Dorner ('66 - of VA) said he thinks it had something to do with Coach Conn. I remember my band uniform had the burnt orange letters and so did my band letter. |
 |
||
|
Plus, the dark royal and the burnt orange so up so much better on the car windows. I had gold and navy blue samples made and you couldn't see them at all. The blue was too dark and the gold was too light. The burnt orange and dark royal really jump out at you. The decal I sent by e-mail does not do it justice.
Thanks again for your help!
Dee
The "subtle" NNHS color change from blue and gold to deep navy and burnt orange did indeed come about through the influence of Coach Julie Coon. I had always thought it was Mr. Wilson, but Mr. Wilson told me himself that it all began with Julie. Actually, this is one of those many times when I expected you to mind-read what I meant to say - which had nothing whatsoever to do with your great decal design. I had moved on to the subject of your reunion. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion-page.html When I went to check out your 1966 Reunion News page - which was obviously made quite some time ago - I saw that I had created it with rather outrageous colors. I had intended it to be done in 1966's Class Colors. For instance, the Class of 1965 chose aqua and white for our class colors. Hence, our Reunion planning page is "painted' accordingly: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion2005-65.html And then there's your page: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion-class-of-1966.html EEEK! What was I thinking?!? I was probably making that one in my sleep........ I'm sorry for the confusion I caused, Dee, especially if you thought I was in any way being critical of your design. I absolutely LOVE those decals! |

From Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA - 01/23/06:
| Cuz', Wow! Mary Anna, a.k.a Esposita.. Did any of your family ever talk to her? I am in awe of Jackson because he was so smart and such a brilliant strategist. Jeb is "mighty fine" also - very flashy with his sashes - but he should have gotten back to Lee sooner. He was too busy running around being flashy, although there are those that would say that Lee's orders to him left something to be desired relative to specificity. Nothing like a uniform, though. Love, Cuz' P. Isn't
that just so cool?!? Unfortunately, by 1908 the
Widow Jackson
was about 77 years old, and largely confined to her room, so I do not
believe the Frixes ever even met her. Sigh. Still, it's a fun
bit of family trivia.

Hi Carol,
I have enjoyed reading the news and would
like to add some news. I was in the band and concert choir at NNHS. I
would like to invite interested members to concerts of the Schola
Cantorum of Norfolk, Virginia. We have concerts at First Presbyterian in
Virginia Beach, Saturday, January 28th at 7:30 PM and First Lutheran in
Norfolk at 4 PM. The tickets are $10.00 per person unless you are under
age 35 years or are Military. Then, the tickets are half-price. We are
keeping in touch with our music. We are featuring early Mozart and he
experienced an early demise....under 35 years.
Schola Cantorum allows its members to
experience the joys of learning music that we were enabled to do through
good public school music programs. We certainly had this exposure on
The Peninsula. You can obtain information of the group at our website,
www.schola-cantorum.org. We entertain auditions and tenors are
particularly welcome!!!

| GIGGLES!!! I do believe that the freshman year is rarely the most photogenic moment in a woman's life, Barbara! I wish I had your senior portrait to use! Speaking of band concerts, I wonder if any of you adorable heroic pack-rats out there can help me? I'm still reconstructing my high school albums (which I've been doing for about ten years now), and at the moment I'm concentrating on my freshman year, 1961-1962. You may have noticed I'm somewhat obsessive about exact dates..... I have learned through phone calls to those in charge that the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival is held the first weekend in May. That helped. What I'd like to know now is when the Spring and Winter combined Band and Chorus Concerts were held. If anyone actually had a surviving program from even one of these any time between 1956 and 1965, I'd think I'd landed in Paradise. Also, do any of you band members remember playing outdoor concerts on a Sunday afternoon at Mariners' Museum? And when was that parade every May? I have lots more questions involving such ridiculous minutia, but you know, I can't really make those album pages without the exact dates. I may break out in hives or something. Thanks again, Barbara! |

Doug Nelson ('64) of VA - 01/22/06 -
"'Babe' Lawson": storyDoug, I lived at 1330 25th Street during the 3,4,5,6 and 7th. Grades. I would see the nurse walking "Babe" Lawson up and down Oak Avenue. Each year he would get a little better. The story I heard in '53 was that he ran into a goal post during a game. At that time I believe they may have still been using leather helmets with little padding. I also thought it was a high school game. Do you know if Babe is still alive? Didn’t Mr. Coates also own the small grocery store on the corner of 24th and Oak Avenue diagonally across the street from the Lawson home? I believe they lived at about 1323-25 24th Street. I remember that your brother 
(Lloyd Nelson - '61) worked at Lawson’s and that he delivered the
Richmond Times newspaper to a lot of folks in the area. I also remember that
you guys lived in the 1300 block of 22nd Street. I rode my bicycle by your
house on the way to Magruder
School or to the little league baseball field. I vividly remember
being hit by a car just a few doors down from your house while riding my
bike. Lucky for me only my bike was damaged. The man that hit me thought
that he had really hurt me because when he came over to me I was crying. It
took me a little while to explain to him that I was crying over my bike
being ruined..Best to you Richard Dawes WOWZERS!!! Thanks, Dicky! |

Hi, Carol:
Please don't fret about not publishing the
Newsletter
with a
Benjamin Franklin Header. You did publish
the important one
featuring
"Stonewall" Jackson.
So rest assured that you are forgiven for the oversight. After all you
have had to deal with those dreadful server issues that are causing you
great distress. A Southern Belle can take only so much stress!
Thanks, Adonis, I appreciate your understanding. It was just a bit disconcerting to suddenly discover it still sitting unused in my files. I know why I missed it.
That was the day before Speaking of Benjamin Franklin, I share the
sentiments of Cokie Roberts which she shared in her book
"Founding Mothers", while outlining all of the
responsibilities of running several businesses, raising the children, and
taking care of the household that were heaped upon Mrs. Franklin while Mr.
Franklin was in Paris enjoying the social life. Her line: "All
Heart, That Ben!".
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Well, Joe, after all,
Jackson was a fine Southern gentleman, while Franklin was (dare I say!)
a Yankee!

As I've mentioned several times in the past, for twenty years or so I've been trying to recapture my wondrous collection of Movie Star Cards which I collected as a child from the Penny Arcade at Buckroe Beach Amusement Park. I've searched high and low, in shops and stores, at yard sales and online. I've asked friends and family and shopkeepers and strangers. My queries have always been met with blank stares. A couple of weeks ago I finally found some offered on eBay, so I giddily purchased six old cards from my previous collection, placed them in pocket pages in my album (so I can still take them out and shuffle them as I did in days of yore), and posted them:

I don't know how he did it.
I don't want to know how he did it. If you already know how
he did it, please do not tell me. I believe in magic, and Dave is
the most magical being I've ever known.
David, I hope you realize how delighted I am to see all these images again - to open them, a few at a time - just as I did 50 years ago. This has been such an incredible treat for me - like Christmas morning, but better. It was like a Christmas morning long, long ago.
Thank you so very
much!

This Newsletter has now reached
epic proportions, and I still have about five notes I haven't posted, so
I suppose we'll be needing an extra edition tomorrow. If you don't see
your note here, keep the faith!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
