02/15/06 - Old
Style NNHS Newsletter - Server Is Still Down
Dear Friends and Classmates,
Sunday night a funny thing happened, but I'm still not laughing. I
had a late meeting, and when I returned that night, Dave (Spriggs ('64
- of VA) told me that the site had gone down at 10:00 PM. I
thought it would be back up in the morning. It wasn't. Here it
is almost 60 hours later, and it's still down - causing me to miss
Lincoln's 197th Birthday, and Valentine's Day, and a few other things.
ARGHHH!
While we're trying to
resolve that, I'll quit being bratty long enough to send an interim
old-style Newsletter, by using notes which are not image dependent - or
dependent on notes which were image dependent - or dependent on pages
within the site itself.
MISSED BIRTHDAYS:
Sunday
was Jon Pearl's ('57)
birthday, Monday was Carla Fine Cripp's ('65 - of Australia)
birthday. There were two Valentine Birthdays - Jimmy Parker
('62) of VA and my niece, Renee Dick Wallace (Booker T. Washington
HS - '80) of Northern VA (who was born on Jimmy's 19th Birthday)
A Very Merry Un-Birthday
to you all!

No, it isn't you, and it isn't me. That leaves 00freehost.com. They've been
down since 10:00 PM Sunday. I can't upload anything, let alone send out
Sunday's Newsletter ... or yesterday's... or today's ... or anything.
RAAATTSS!!!!
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of
VA - 02/14/06:
BUMMER!!! Call 'em up ..... but you
have already done that, I bet.
Oh - great idea! Call
'em up! No, I hadn't even thought of that. I was
just going to wait until they resolved their difficulties. Let's see -
where would I find their number? Oh, yeah - it's on their web page
- which is down.......
No, wait - I'll
try a Google trick!

From Sheila Smith Moler
('64) of VA - 02/15/06 - "Website":
Dear Carol:
EEEEEEEKKK!!! Haven't been able to access your website
for several days.....the message says it can't be found. Hope a gremlin
didn't get you again!!
Sheila Moler
Well, no,
Sheila, it didn't get me, not really. It just got us....
Just to make
sure (and as I had come across a cool quotation I really wanted to preserve), I
tried updating my personal webpage (which I hadn't done in over a year, due to
lack of time...):
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/cluckmeat/
It works just
fine, for all the good that does me:
Oh, the
quotation? That's it near the top on the right:
"People tend to love me or hate me and a lot of them just think I'm annoying."

Joe Wingo ('65) of NC, President of the Great NNHS Class of 1965 - 02/10/06:
Carol,
my dear,
"Puny" was relative. When you're a J.
V. player, the highlight of the year was to be selected to come finish the
season with the varsity team as they prepared for Turkey Day and the
Crabbers. If you were really blessed, you got to dress out and take the
field on Thanksgiving Day as a varsity player. In the 8th grade, I was
lucky enough to be brought up to the Varsity but could not take the field
as a varsity without foregoing a full year of eligibility. But, and this
is where the puny comes in, I do remember having to go against guys like
Jim Workman ('61),
Downie ('61) and
Delano ('62) Wray. Then, if I were really lucky, I got run over by
Bobby Boyce ('61) or Gerry or Gene ('62) Duncan!
So, as an 8th grader, going against the likes of these guys, I was puny!
And, my most vivid memory of that experience, was having Jim and Downie
throw dirt in my eyes and then proceed to kick my booty! Guess that was
initiation...see if he goes whining to Coach
Range or comes back for more. I chose the latter (stupid) but I
don't think there was a real choice to be made there!
So
you see my dear, puny is relative!
My
apologies for getting so wordy here.
Hope
all is well with you and your family. My best to all Typhoons everywhere.
---Joe
Wingo
Oh, well
then, if it's all relative....
And
don't apologize for being wordy, Sweetie! Write as much and as often as you
want! We love to hear from you!
From Evelyn Fryer Fish
('58) of TX - 02/10/06 - "Thank you for being you!!":
Hi
Carol!!!
Thank you for
your wonderful response on line to my note to you!!! YOU are very
special!!!!
.....
.....
Love, Ev
WOWZERS!!! Thanks, Evelyn!
From Dave Arnold ('65) of VA - 02/10/06 - "Burke Davis":
You mentioned in
the newsletter today
you had read the JEB Stuart book by Burke Davis. In the early 80's I
had the pleasure to meet Mr. Davis and his wife while giving them handgun
instruction. He was a true gentlemen and we passed many enjoyable hours
talking about the War of Northern Aggression. Mr. Davis will always hold a
special place for me.
NO WAY!!! That is just too cool for words!!!
I am WILDLY impressed!!! Thanks for telling us, Dave!
From Tim Rogers (Hampton HS - '66) - 02/10/06
- "Dicky Dawes":
Hi Carol,
I keep seeing Dicky Dawes' (NNHS/HHS - '62 - of VA) name come
up. I was wondering if he is the same Dicky Dawes I worked with in the mid
70's at Hastings Raydist?
Tim Rogers
How many could there be?!? I
thought Dicky was one of a kind. But what do I know? Let's ask
him.
Oh,
Dicky......
Thanks, Tim! It's
good to hear from you.
I was beginning to wonder If I had said
something to offend all you Krabbas. You've all been unnaturally
quiet.....
|

Well, that
pretty much takes care of it. The mounds of other notes and letters are
still awaiting us (for reasons which may be plainer to y'all when I'm able to
include them. Perhaps tomorrow......
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
