AWWW!
Thanks, Dale!
Unfortunately, my
attempts to upload the video were met with some rude message about having
exceeding my quota (?!?), but I enjoyed it, anyway! Please scoop that cuddly
little fella up in your arms and give him a couple of hundred kisses for me!
From Dimples Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC -
02/11/10 - "Kathryn
Grayson":
Perhaps I am wrong, and I am sure someone will
correct me if I am, but I understand that Kathryn Grayson was a native of
North Carolina along with Ava Gardner !
Two exceptionally beautiful women. Grayson's voice along with her angelic face
still lingers in my memory ! Ava was the sultry one, and did that as well as
Kathryn sang !
Dimples aka Sepi
No need for anyone to try to
correct you, Dimples; you're absolutely correct!
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Grayson:
"Kathryn Grayson (born February 9, 1922) is an American actress and operatic soprano singer...
"She was born Zelma Kathryn Elisabeth Hedrick in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Hedrick family later moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she was discovered singing on the empty stage of the St. Louis Municipal Opera House by a janitor, who introduced her to Frances Marshall of the Chicago Civic Opera, who gave the twelve-year-old girl voice lessons."
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ava_Gardner:
"Ava Lavinia Gardner (December 24, 1922 – January 25, 1990) was an American actress...
"Gardner was born in 1922 in the small farming community of Brogden, North Carolina (nicknamed "Grabtown"), the youngest of seven children (she had two brothers; Raymond and Melvin, and four sisters; Beatrice, Elsie Mae, Inez and Myra) of poor cotton and tobacco farmers; her mother, Mary Elizabeth ("Mollie") Gardner (née Baker) was a Baptist of Scots-Irish and English descent, while her father, Jonas Bailey Gardner, was a Catholic of Irish American and American Indian (Tuscarora) descent.[citation needed] When the children were still young, the Gardners lost their property, forcing Jonas Gardner to work at a sawmill and Mollie to begin working as a cook and housekeeper at a dormitory for teachers at the nearby Brogden School.
"When Gardner was 13 years old, the family decided to try their luck in a bigger town, Newport News, Virginia, where Mollie Gardner found work managing a boardinghouse for the city's many shipworkers. While in Newport News, Gardner's father became ill and died from bronchitis in 1938, when Ava was 15 years old. After Jonas Gardner's death, the family moved to the Rock Ridge suburb of Wilson, North Carolina, where Mollie Gardner ran another boarding house for teachers. Ava Gardner attended high school in Rock Ridge and she graduated from there in 1939. She then attended secretarial classes at Atlantic Christian College in Wilson for about a year."

WOWZERONI!
Thank you so much, Sarah Sugah!
The gentlemen's opening remarks force my hand here. I, too, was introduced to the Tabernacle Choir by my father when I was a little girl, and I think that was a pivotal step in my joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1967.

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 02/10/10:
Low Bridge
A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. He
passed a sign that said "low bridge ahead."
Before he knew it, the bridge was right ahead of him and he could
not avoid getting stuck under the bridge. You could say that he got
a "Truck Wedgie."
Cars were backed up for miles.
Finally, a police car pulled up. The cop got out of his car and
walked around to the truck driver, put his hands on his hips and
said, "Got stuck, huh?"
The gutsy truck driver said, "No officer, I was delivering this
bridge and ran out of gas!"

The Battle Hymn of the Republic
- Julia Ward Howe
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
