Hit # 57,500 was made on Thursday, February 22, 2007 at 4:16 PM by a dial-up
user in Atlanta, GA. Was it you?!? |
From
Al Simms
of VA - 02/17/07 - "Soldiers page submission":
Carol,
For your soldiers page should you want to add it a photo of my Maternal Grandfather, Dr. Ernest Franklin Canaday. In the attached photo he is First Lieutenant Canaday. I have sent it in the sepia tone of the photo that I have but if you prefer can send one that is corrected for normal B/W
When he took the entrance exam
he made the highest score that anyone had ever made and because of that and his
training in mathematics he was sent to Fort Sill, OK for Artillery Officer
training. When General Pershing put his staff together prior to leaving for
Europe my grandfather was selected for it as a mathematician. After a number of
false starts he was finally on a train and on his way to New York to board a
ship for Europe when the war ended and so he never made the trip.
After the military he completed his Masters Degree and went on to get his
Doctorate in Mathematics also. My grandfather moved to Raleigh, NC in about 1920
and became the head of the Math department at Meredith College where he stayed
until his retirement about 50 years later. Not really being ready to be retired
he rented his house in Raleigh, NC and moved to Buies Creek, NC where he
continued to teach mathematics for another 4 years at Campbell College. When he
finally retired in 1977 he and my grandmother moved to Lakewood Manor in
Richmond, VA where he remained until his death in 1987 at the age of 94.
I hope that you will find this of interest to you for inclusion on the soldiers
page of your website.

NNHS Class of 1960
What a fascinating account! Thank you for sharing it with us, Al!
While I was out yesterday, It occurred to me exactly how I wanted to process
this data. I suppose because I'm not yet thinking very clearly that the
simplicity of it all escaped me. It was actually a device I had used
before on the Famous Sailors page. When
I returned home, I was delighted to see that one of my favorite tech reppies and
general morale boosters (who asked to remain anonymous) had advised me to do the
very same thing - so I did! (Thanks, Sweetie!
)
I created a page of his own for Dr. Canaday, which links to the Famous Soldiers page:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-soldiers.html
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/E-R-Canaday.html - brand new page
Thanks again,
Al!
Oh, and if you could supply me with the exact dates and places
of his birth and death, I'll stop hyperventilating. Maybe.
"Possibly maybe."
From NewsMax Media Health Alerts - 02/17/07:
Depression Promotes Heart Problems
Depression appears to increase the development of blood vessel plaques, known
as atherosclerosis, a condition that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and a
host of other cardiovascular problems, according to a report in the Archives of
General Psychiatry.
Patients' psychological status influence quality of life, and may also have a
"significant impact" on their physical status, including cardiovascular health,
Dr. Jesse C. Stewart, from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis,
told Reuters Health.
Stewart and colleagues evaluated the contribution of depression, anxiety, and
anger to atherosclerosis among 324 men and women between 50 and 70 years old.
Symptom scoring tests evaluated the presence of depression , anxiety and anger,
while the extent of atherosclerosis was accessed using an imaging test, which
measured the thickness of the walls of the carotid arteries, major blood vessels
in the neck that carry oxygen to the brain.
Depressive symptoms were associated with plaque build-up during the 3-year
study, the authors report, whereas anxiety and anger symptoms seemed to be
unrelated.
Increased daily alcohol intake was associated with greater changes in plaque
build-up, the researchers note, whereas the use of antidepressant drugs called
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, including Zoloft and Prozac, was
associated with smaller changes.
"Taken together," the investigators conclude, "our results indicate that
depression, but perhaps not anxiety and hostility/anger, may be involved in the
initiation and/or progression of atherosclerosis."
"Further studies examining multiple negative emotions could lead to the
identification of the particular aspects of negative emotions that have a
deleterious effect on cardiovascular health," Stewart added. "Identifying these
harmful aspects could lead to...the development of more focused and perhaps
potent interventions specifically designed to target the harmful aspects of
negative emotions."

These are just so good to know. I didn't include all
those animated baby pictures which accompanied them because images take me
sooo long to process, and I wouldn't have been able to post them in five
minutes. And I simply couldn't run the risk of not meeting "the love of
(my) life sometime next month."
From My Sister, Eleanor Buckley
Nowitzky
('59) of NC - 02/19/07 - "Jigsaw
Puzzle":
One morning this blonde calls her friend and says, "Would you please come over and help me. I have this killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to start it."
Her friend asks, "What is it a puzzle of?"
The blonde says, "From the picture on the box, it's a tiger."
So, the blonde's friend figures that he's pretty good at puzzles, so he heads over to her place. She lets him in the door and shows him to the table where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a minute, then studies the box. He then turns to her and says:
"First, no matter what I do, I'm not going to be able to show you how to assemble these to look like the picture of that tiger. Second, I'd advise you to have a glass of orange juice and put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box."
Thanks, Lady!
I think we can all use a good laugh!
From Louis (Fuzzy) Turner ('63) of NC - 02/20/07:

Yankee Doodle
Father and I
went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
Chorus
Yankee doodle, keep it up
Yankee doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.
There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion
A-giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million.
Chorus
And then the feathers on his hat
They looked so' tarnal fin-a
I wanted pockily to get
To give to my Jemima.
Chorus
And then we saw a swamping gun
Large as a log of maple
Upon a deuced little cart
A load for father's cattle.
Chorus
And every time they shoot it off
It takes a horn of powder
It makes a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder.
Chorus
I went as nigh to one myself
As' Siah's underpinning
And father went as nigh agin
I thought the deuce was in him.
We saw a little barrel, too
The heads were made of leather
They knocked upon it with little clubs
And called the folks together.
Chorus
And there they'd fife away like fun
And play on cornstalk fiddles
And some had ribbons red as blood
All bound around their middles.
The troopers, too, would gallop up
And fire right in our faces
It scared me almost to death
To see them run such races.
Chorus
Uncle Sam came there to change
Some pancakes and some onions
For' lasses cake to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.
Chorus
But I can't tell half I see
They kept up such a smother
So I took my hat off, made a bow
And scampered home to mother.
Chorus
Cousin Simon grew so bold
I thought he would have cocked it
It scared me so I streaked it off
And hung by father's pocket.
Chorus
And there I saw a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation.
Other Verses:
And there was Captain Washington,
With gentlefolks about him,
They say he's gown so 'tarnal proud
He will not ride without them.
Chorus
There came Gen'ral Washington
Upon a snow-white charger
He looked as big as all outdoors
And thought that he was larger.
Chorus
