From Pam Smith Arnold ('65) of VA - 02/14/05:
Many happy valentines will come to you today, I hope!
Have a great day.
Love, Pam
Thanks, Cousin Pam!
Actually, the sweetest thing happened. One of my sixteen-year old Seminary
students walked
into class at 7:00 AM with a big red carnation and a little bag of chocolates
with a nice note attached - which he delivered
with a hug! Okay, maybe his mama made him do it, but at any rate
she taught him correct principles, and the hug was all
his own! And seeing the joy it brought me, I'd say he learned his
life-lesson very well!
I hope your day began as splendidly - and I'm sure, that being a newlywed, it did!

From Kelly Loose Bustamante ('58) of TX - 02/14/05:
Hi Carol! The attached may be too lengthy to
share in your newsletter, but I found it to be interesting.

Hampton High Schools.
Hope that you are feeling better--please take care of yourself, we are addicted to your newsletters.
Kelly Loose Bustamante
Thanks, Kelly!
My anti-virus system attacked this attachment as though it were bubonic plague,
so I never really saw it, but
I appreciate your thinking of me. Might it perchance have been the history
mentioned herein?

Addicted to

Kelly! There are those who think that I'm addicted
to writing them!

1955 Krabba, p.62 |
As it turns out,
I still have possession of the 1955 Krabba belonging to Tom
Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA, so I scanned
Sally's junior image. (Thanks, Tom!)
Sarah E. Disharoon
NEWPORT NEWS
- This is to announce the departure from this Earth and entering into God's
heavens of Sarah "Sally"
Elizabeth Disharoon of Newport News. She was born in Hampton, Va., on Sept. 29,
1937, to Paul and Elsie Fitchett Disharoon,
now deceased. Mr. Disharoon has a son by his first marriage which made him
Sally's half brother, Paul Disharoon Jr. Sally
would never except the half idea and tell her young friends that Paul was her
whole brother and she loved him dearly. Paul
also is deceased. Sally's grandmother Sarah Web Fitchett was raised in the
Historic "Jones House" on Historic Mullberry
Island. This was Sally's first encounter with true history tales, which never
left her. Sally was one of the first females to become
a true policeman where she served in many facets of the law in Newport News. She
attended Christopher Newport University,
the Police Academy, and graduated from Hampton High School. She was later
appointed a Magistrate for the 7th Judicial
District covering Newport News, from which she retired. This was truly her best
history lesson and a way for her to help those
that she could. Many, many times people would stop her on the street and thank
her for being of help. She was also appointed
a marriage commissioner, another history lesson which she truly loved. Sally had
many friends, some dating back to high
school and she did keep in touch. It didn't make any difference their standing
in life they were her friends. Surviving relatives
include cousin, Craig Miller, his wife, Lorrain, and their children; nephews,
Michael Disharoon, his wife, Nancy, and their children;
and nephew Paul Disharoon III, his wife, Barbara, and their children. The
funeral will be conducted 2 p.m. Sunday at R. Hayden
Smith Funeral Home in downtown Hampton with the viewing beginning at 1:30 p.m.
Her body will be laid to rest, after a long battle
with cancer, in Historic St. John's Cemetery.

What an amazing woman Sally was. So witty, quick with a joke. She won't ever be forgotten! |
Misty Collins (Newport News, VA ) - February 12, 2005 |
Sally was and is the greatest cousin in the universe! Save me a seat at the table, Sally. We'll miss you for a little while, but I'll see you again, soon. |
Craig Miller (Boca Raton, FL ) - February 12, 2005 mteam1@bellsouth.net |
Sally will be missed by many who knew her. I'll always remember her as one of my "colorful" neighbors! She gave my husband heck one day. He got so mad at her and she at him. He took her advice and they ended up kidding each other about the time "she blasted him"! We are sorry to see her leave us but knowing that she is in a better place and not in pain is a comfort! |
Pat Cropper (Newport News, VA ) - February 15, 2005 |
There you are, Crabbers - one of your finest! Thanks again, Craig.

From Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 02/14/05:
Hope this dilutes the mud a tad.
And Carol .... no, I never considered Dave Whitley ('67 - of VA) as
"Freaking Hot". Pam Weaver ('66) maybe .....
but not Dave. Then again that is probably a good thing .... LOL.
Thanks, Babe! Frankly, I'm more confused than ever about the dance studio (s), but that is fairly typical, n'est pas? (Just lead
But as to David
Whitley, surely you jest! The question isn't even moot. In
today's Newsletter, we have certain photographic
evidence. Just keep reading.

Speaking
of David Whitley ('67 - of VA), I was able to con, er, I mean persuade
him to join our Famous Soldiers page.
As it wasn't as unstable as the Famous Marines
page, I was able to facilitate the splitting into sections with much more ease.
I've only just begun, of course, but I'll finish them all - Soldiers, Sailors
and Marines - quite soon.

"...waiting to be picked up on our last mission in Viet Nam" |
Trust me, Babe, any man who can look THAT good sitting in a jungle in Viet Nam is freakin' HOT! Period!
Oh - thanks again, David! And WELCOME to Famous Soldiers!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 02/15/05:
Thanks, Adonis! Isn't that just the most touching moment!
Tom Flax ('64 - of VA) and the videographer did a super job
with that whole production! I'm glad you enjoyed it; I thought it was
just marvelous myself.
And literally everything that David does, of course, he does
without equal. He's simply the best.

From Steve Toth (Menchville HS - '72 ) of VA - 02/15/05:
The BLUE LIGHT was a private club,
located at 417 - 29th Street in Newport News. It was directly behind the
fire station and catty-cornered from the old Sears store. It was located in an
old freight warehouse next to the
railroad tracks. The warehouse is gone now, replaced by a parking garage.
It was "bottle club" meaning you brought your own alcohol and bought setups
and ice. It featured live bands, some
well-known entertainment (Tiny Tim once played there to an audience of
THREE. Poor Tiny!), and the filthiest,
creepiest bathrooms in town. It usually got started late, around 11 p.m., and
ended when the sun came up. They even
served breakfast, believe it or not! John Lancaster was the manager,
and a matronly-looking woman named Ms.
Maddox worked the door. What it lacked in style & grace, it made up for in
wild debauchery with high-spirited people
abounding. It was, for several years, THE PLACE to be on the Peninsula, if you
were a young adult and in the
socializing-partying set. It closed its doors, I believe, in 1976.... and
became an archery range and then a Corvette
parts mart. But alas, it fell prey to the wrecking ball - like everything else
downtown - and all that's left is a parking
garage and memories of good times held there (with the possibility of an old
DUI on your record!). :-)

Attached is a picture of some memorabilia from the BLUE LIGHT CLUB -- my old
membership card, a receipt
for membership payment, and a groovy pink ink pen! I want to clear my
conscious and tell the world that I lied about my
age and used a fake I.D. for that coveted membership. I was only 19 at the
time... and as most of us know, GUYS had
to be 21 to drink in nightclubs.
Steve Toth, Menchville HS, '72
WOWZERONI! Thanks so much, Steve!

There are still
a couple of rather sizable contributions from a couple of y'all which are
awaiting my technical attention of one
form or another. I've neither forgotten nor discarded them. Keep the
faith - and thanks!
Y'all have a good day - and take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
