Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme is supposed to repeat every year, barring severe illness or technical difficulties.....

This year's accompanying music (a personal favorite of mine) was first used shortly after we come back online after The Big May-to-August Break of 2005:

BIRTHDAYS:
A very happy
Valentine Birthday
today to
Jimmy Parker ('62) of VA
and to my niece,
Renee Dick Wallace (Booker T. Washington HS - '77) of
Northern VA who, if I recall correctly (and I do) was born on Jimmy's 19th birthday.
But strangely enough, I cannot for the life of me remember what I was wearing
that day. Sorry, Jimmy-Jimmy, it happens....
Have a super-duper day, Sweetie-Pies!

Thank you, Shari
- I LOVE this song!
Martina McBride is one of my
favorites, and I've actually had this song on my computer play list for at
least six years now, maybe seven.
The roses make it even prettier!
HERBIE:
From Sepi Dinwiddie Prichard ('58) of NC -
02/12/08 - "
Herbie (Hice
of MI)":
Hi Carol and Typhoon Family,
I spoke with Herbie's daughter
Heidi (Hice MacKay of MI)
this morning, and she has brought me up to date so far.
Herbie is comatose, but will come and go out of it if spoken to. Heidi, her
husband and their children and other family members are exhausted from
sorrow and many trips to the hospital. Herbie's vital signs are good and the
physicians in charge are puzzled as to why his body is reacting this way.
She asked for prayer, strong, uplifting prayer. Not just for Herbie, but to
lift the spirits of the entire family and to supply them with God's strength
and some peace of mind until our Herbie is out of the woods. I gave Heidi a
message to give to Herbie....That he was needed, loved and missed very much
and to quit slacking off and get back quickly because God was not finished
with him....YET ! She laughed and said she would tell him just that and
would say that I said so.
Herbie thought that a stint was going to be
the end of it but the damage was far worse than feared. Herbie is 83, but is
strong and the pillar of his family and a big part of ours, too. Heidi
thanks all of us for our prayers and said it made her feel better just
knowing that we cared enough to pray for her precious dad. Herbie needs all
of us to pray, he helped make this Country a wonderful pace for us to live
and did it so we could keep the freedom we enjoy. He did this when most of
us were small children, babies or yet to be born, but he did it for us...we
can pay him back through prayer.

Thank you very
much, Dimples - DITTO!!!

What a moving story! Thanks so much for sharing it with us all, Chris!
I will certainly second everything you said about Our Wizard of Wonderment! This site would be quite lame and mediocre without the hundreds of contributions in many different forms which he has made to it over the past five years.The vision has all been his!
And we first used "Let Me Call
You Sweetheart" three years ago today, Lady, but that won't stop us from
using it again very soon!

Okay, Lady, this one was so ridiculous, I'll have to admit it made me laugh out
loud! Thanks again, Shari!

This just came up on EBAY. I can't say that have seen this view ever before.
You can see the carousel building as
well as the unique roof line of the "theater" mentioned on the first card. Even
here, one can see that much has been relocated.

You're an amazingly observant man, Captain! Thanks so much, not only for the
antique image (which I deliberately kept in reserve for today), but for your
expertise!

OHH, these are
both nice, Shari - thanks!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 02/13/08 - "What Made Me, Me":
Carol,
Hope you are feeling better. I'm from Richmond, Va. now.
Norris Perry "59 Warwick"
I wish I were, Sweetie,
but thanks so much!
But, HEY - I love
Richmond! In fact, I like
it so much I decided to be born there - right downtown on the eleventh floor
of the
Medical College
of Virginia Hospital!
Makes you think back!!
What Made Me, Me
Long ago and far away, In a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan, Or the dawn of Camelot. There
lived a race of innocents, Only girls wore earrings then, |
We fell for Frankie Avalon, Kookie was oh, so nice, And when they made a movie, They never made it twice. We didn't have a Star Trek Five, Or Psycho Two & Three, Or Rocky-Rambo Twenty In the Land That Made Me, Me. Miss Kitty had a heart of gold, And Chester had a limp, And Reagan was a Democrat Whose co-star was a chimp. We had a Mr. Wizard, But not a Mr. T, And Oprah couldn't talk yet In the Land That Made Me, Me. We had our share of heroes, We never thought they'd go, At least not Bobby Darin, Or Marilyn Monroe. For youth was still eternal, And life was yet to be, And Elvis was forever In the Land That Made Me, Me. We'd never seen the rock band That was Grateful to be Dead, And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson , And Zeppelins were not Led.
|
And Beatles lived in gardens
then, And Monkees lived in trees, Madonna was a virgin In the Land That Made Me, Me.
We'd never heard of microwaves,
|
We had no Crest with
Fluoride, We had no Hill Street Blues, We all wore superstructure bras Designed by Howard Hughes. We had no patterned pantyhose Or Lipton herbal tea Or prime-time ads for condoms In the Land That Made Me, Me. There were no golden arches, No Perrier to chill, And fish were not called Wanda, And cats were not called Bill. And middle-aged was 35 And old was forty-three, And ancient were our parents In the Land That Made Me, Me. But all things have a season, Or so we've heard them say, And now instead of Maybelline We swear by Retin-A. And they send us invitations To join AARP, We've come a long way, baby, From the Land That Made Me, Me. So now we face a Brave New World In slightly larger jeans, And wonder why they're using Smaller print in magazines. And we tell our children's children How life then used to be, Long ago and far away In the Land That Made Me, Me. |
This was fun - Je
Me Souviens! Thanks again, Norris!

I Love How You Love Me
(Bobby Vinton)
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you love me)
I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you love me)
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you I love how you miss me
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all I love how you love me (love how you love me)
I love how you hug me (love how you hug me)
I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me
Love---how you love me
I love how you love me
