Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today
is Valentine's Day, so I want to send all of y'all my love!
Today's celebration repeats every possible year, but we've never used this song before.
BONUS #1 - It's in His Kiss - Betty Everett, 1964
BONUS #2 - It's in His Kiss - Cher, 1990
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shoop_Shoop_Song_%28It%27s_in_His_Kiss%29:
| "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" is a song written
by
Rudy Clark. The song was made a hit when recorded by
Betty Everett, who hit No. 1 on the
Cashbox magazine R&B charts with it in 1964. Recorded by dozens of
artists and groups around the world in the decades since, the song
became an international hit when remade by
Cher in
1990... Dave Marsh in his book The Heart of Rock and Soul opines that Betty Everett's version, "while [credited] as a solo performance is one of the finest girl group hits, undoubtedly the best one made outside the genre's New York City/Philadelphia/Los Angeles "axis""...[1] Cher's remake was cut for the soundtrack of her 1990 film Mermaids in which it played under the closing credits, and the single's U.S. release coincided with the November release of the film. It peaked at number thirty three on the Billboard Hot 100, and number one in the United Kingdom, where it remained for five weeks, selling a total of 520,000 copies, making it one of the biggest-selling singles by a female artist in Britain in the 1990s. The song was Cher's first solo number one there. At the time, her previous number one in the United Kingdom had been in 1965 with her then husband Sonny Bono and their first hit: "I Got You Babe". Cher's "The Shoop Shoop Song" also topped the charts in Austria, Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Spain; the single achieved a number two peak in Australia and top ten status in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland... An episode of Tiny Toon Adventures also featured an animated music video of the original version, with Babs Bunny lip-syncing to the song... |

02/13/14 - "Thinking of you":
| Dear Carol, I forward this prayer on to you for two reasons. First and foremost, I pray this prayer for you and your family. Secondly, it will reach far more than twelve if it is placed in the newsletter and that’s your call alone to make. It seems to me that these uncertain times call for a stronger faith. Man is constantly disappointing us so we need God more than ever, in my humble opinion. As we all reach the point in life where we must accept that we are no longer that indestructible teenager from all too many years gone by, we need something firm to anchor our lives. Believe in things unseen. Prayer works!! I sincerely hope this prayer brings you peace and joy. I further hope it does the same for all those in Typhoon Land. I suspect we could all use a little peace these days. God Bless one and all, Joe |
||
| May everyone who
receives this message be blessed. There are 12 months,12 disciples,12
tribes of Israel, Jesus' birth celebrated in the 12th month. There is
nothing attached. Just send this to 12 others. Prayer is one of the best
free gifts we receive. There is no cost, just a lot of reward. Pray,
believing God will answer. May the Lord use you today to do His work in the lives that surround you. May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, !rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced before. May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God. Now, will you send this to 12 people right now, not "I'll do it later"?. You will have 12 people praying for you... |

Thank you so much, Joe Sweetie! 
I really appreciate your
thoughtfulness! I know that you - as I - have witnessed the remarkable
power of belief and prayer. |

Malcolm
Davis ('65) of VA - 02/13/14 - "RE:
Wayne Langford ('68)":
| Hi Malcolm, My name used to be Sharon Tracy (the name I go by now) MacKeown, now Heath. When I first got on this site apparently I made the mistake of not telling her my maiden name and she put my request under Tracy Langford Heath and I haven’t been able to contact her to get that changed. Could you help me out? By the way, I remember you when I snuck in the boys club with my brothers. Do you remember Kenny (Whitey)? Thank you for the memories and help, Tracy Heath |
From (Sharon) Tracy MacKeown Heath (Warwick HS - '77) -
02/13/14 - "RE:
Wayne Langford ('68)":
| Yes, I remember Kenny too. Here is the way to contact Carol on the website: see above under the cc section. She will receive this information that I am sending you. Glad to have helped.
Thank you, Malcolm!

02/06/14 - "OLD
CANS .... (#4 in a Series of
15)":
 |
OLD CANS! He used to go to all the public functions...especially the picture theaters. And he always carried a sugar bag to collect empty bottles and cans. His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney. Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him. Then it was discovered that he sold the empty bottles but only some of the cans. After he died in 1998 (aged 86) his large collection of model cars made from aluminum cans was discovered. This goes to prove..."you shouldn't judge a book by its cover" - or a sculptor by his sugar bag. Some of his collection ---- AMAZING! WOWZERS! Thanks, Jimmy! |

FINALLY:
| From
www.ajokeaday.com - 02/13/14: At a fabric store, a pretty girl spotted a nice material for a dress and asked the male clerk, "How much does it cost?" “Only one kiss per yard,” replied the male clerk with a smirk. “That’s fine,” said the girl. I’ll take ten yards.” With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, and then teasingly held it out. The girl took the bag and pointed to the old man standing beside her, and smiled, “Grandpa will pay the bill.” |
