NEWS FLASH:
From
Dee Hodges Bartram ('66) of VA to
Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 01/23/07 - "NNHS February Fling":
Dave,
I have reserved Angelo's Restaurant on J. Clyde Morris Boulevard for February 24 from 6-10 p.m. for a get together of all classes. It will be completely casual. Just come in for some dinner or just to say hi. All I ask is that you let me know if you are coming so I can have an accurate count so Angelo can decide if he needs more waitresses that night.
Please pass this on to any class alumni and ask them to contact me if they would like to come. They can either e-mail me or call me at 868-8443.
Please, also tell them that if the weather is bad to call Angelo's at 599-5727 to make sure the dinner is still on.
Thanks and I hope to see you there!!

QUOTES BY GREAT LADIES
Inside every older lady is a younger lady -- wondering what the hell
happened.
-Cora Harvey Armstrong-
Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her
up with cookies.
Unknown
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
-Helen Hayes (at 73)-
I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows.
-Janette Barber-
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.
-Lily Tomlin-
A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who never owned a car.
-Carrie Snow-
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry with your girlfriends.
-Laurie Kuslansky-
My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being, hitting my
head on the top bunk bed until I faint.
-Erma Bombeck-
Old age ain't no place for sissies.
-Bette Davis-
A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't.
-Rhonda Hansome-
The phrase "working mother"! is redundant.
-Jane Sellman-
Every time I close the door on reality, it comes in through the windows.
-Jennifer Unlimited-
Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half
as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
-Charlotte Whitton-
Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts
falling apart.
-Caryn
Leschen-
I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at
once.
-Jennifer Unlimited-
If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible
warning.
-Catherine Aird
When I was young, I was put in a school for retarded kids for two years
before they realized I actually had a hearing loss. And they called ME slow!
-Kathy Buckley-
I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb --
I also know I'm not blonde.
-Dolly Parton-
If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.
-Sue Grafton-
I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on.
-Roseanne Barr-
When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another
country..
-Elayne
Boosler-
Behind every successful man is a surprised woman.
-Maryon
Pearson-
In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything
done, ask a woman.
-Margaret Thatcher-
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a
career.
-Gloria Steinem-
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house.
-Zsa
Zsa Gabor-
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.
-Eleanor Roosevelt-
GIGGLES!!!

I just want to say how happy I am to have Mike Tomlin, a peninsula native, as the Steelers head coach. From what I have read, he sounds like a great guy with all the qualities the Rooney's want. Go Steelers!
COOL!!!

Carol,
My brother Adrian Whitcomb (Class of
1967) has been working to try to save
Buckroe Beach. I am forwarding the e-mail that he sent to me and
obviously sent to many others. At the bottom of the e-mail is a copy of the
editorial that he wrote for the Daily Press. This is of interest to anyone that
wants to preserve Buckroe Beach.
Have a really great trip.
Edna
This is
so critically important! Thank you so much, Edna - and Adrian!

When I come
back, there are several things waiting which I simply did not have time to
address, including a couple of truly fabulous items from
Bob Parrish ('68) of VA and
Al Simms
('60) of VA! (Thank you, Gentlemen!)
And no, I did not finish the dress. The baptism is not until Sunday. That leaves me Friday and Saturday to work on it out there.
Also, several of
you quite recently sent me things, or wrote me beautiful notes, or cheered my
soul in some other way. I did not have time to reply to you as well.
At the risk of being called an incurable computer addict by my entire family,
I'll try to respond to you while I'm in Illinois. Meanwhile, thank you so
much, and keep the faith!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Words and Music by John Denver, 1967
(Peter, Paul and Mary)
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There're so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you
Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
