Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
theme comes to us indirectly from my 18-year old daughter, ![]() Thanks, Adrienne!
This,
by the way, is just a short little Newsletter. I still haven't done
most of the Major Backlogs, i.e., many goodies still to come from
NAAAAAH!!! Probably not! (Thanks so much, Stevie!)

From Evelyn Casey Snead ('57) of VA - 02/23/06 - "down memory lane":
Carol,
Boy, did I enjoy
Someone asked me if I remembered the words
to old "fight" songs for NNHS and I am ashamed to say I do not. I bet we
could get plenty of help on your site. It was an idea to be used for
our 1957 "50th" reunion coming up next year.
I think that's certainly possible, Evelyn. I believe there may be some on the Odds and Ends link, and we certainly have enough cheerleaders in our midst to fill in the blanks. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/oddsends.html Ja - here we go, courtesy of Susan Whitcomb Harlin ('72) of TX - 05/14/03 (Thanks again, Susan!): http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/oddsends_files/cheers.jpg (I hope that enlarges well enough to read....)
Ladies?
Let me also say......thank you, thank you,
thank you for bringing us Typhoons such joy!!!!!!!
Evelyn Casey Snead, 1957
WOWZERS!!!
Thank you, Evelyn!

P.S.
I added the

Peace &
Blessing,
Cheryl Famous Whitmore Rolls - Parkview Baptist Cook Book - Mr. & Mrs. Walter Whitmore Combine:
2
cups boiling water Let cool until lukewarm Dissolve 2 yeast cakes or 2 pkg. dry yeast in ¼ cup lukewarm water. Add to first mixture, 2 beaten eggs. Add about 4 cups flour, stir until smooth, then add 3 or 4 more cups flour; dough will be sticky. Put in refrigerator and let rise. Take out; knead well on floured board. Make out rolls as desired in size. Allow 3 hours for rolls to rise. Bake at 350 degrees. Makes about 45 rolls. Use as needed. Will keep several days. Note: My mother is known for these rolls and she always makes them for family dinners! My parents also attended Parkview Baptist and counted the Whitmore’s among their friends. Cheryl Mays Howard DOUBLE WOWZERONI!!! Thanks for both of these, Cheryl! This article about Marty surely strikes a chord with anyone who has ever cared for an aged and ailing parent. I personally stand in awe of her! On a lighter note, I may even break down and bake some of these rolls myself - or better yet, talk someone else around here into doing so! WILD GIGGLES!!! |
From Barbara Brewer ('69) of VA - 02/25/06 - "Hi":
I am spending the Saturday afternoon
researching a recipe for a chicken tortilla casserole that appears to be
chicken and dumplings and is white in appearance. If the wife has a
recipe, please send it to me.
I cooked 20 pounds of thighs and I am looking
for healthy ways of preparing the chicken. A client gave me spinach and I
am fixing an enchilada dish to serve over the spinach. I have to watch
the fat and grains, due to my health. I can substitute stuff and I would
welcome recipes.
I hope you are enjoying yourselves. I have
gotten a lot of reading done due to the weather. I look forward to seeing
some recipes.
Barbara Brewer
Okey-dokie! I happen to know there are a number of great cooks out there, but the three that come instantly to my mind are all men. I personally do not mess with dead chickens. I do however play a game of Chicken whenever the kitchen is concerned. My mama would have called it, "Out-fumbling". The object is to try to stall and look terribly busy long enough that someone else chickens out (fearful of going hungry) and actually cooks something to eat. I won today! GIGGLES!!! Okay, all y'all who actually enjoy cooking: send Barbara your recipes. Or if they're super fast and easy, send them to me, too - particularly if I can substitute canned pre-cooked chicken. Thanks, Barbara! Have fun!

From Joan Ownby Mathieson ('58) of VA - 02/25/06:
Being married to Jimmy Mathieson
who was in the HHS class of '56, I just wanted to pass along to
anyone who might be interested that they will be having their 50-year
reunion this summer the weekend of July 21 - 23rd - beginning
on Friday with an event at a local PUB, then a picnic at 2 o'clock on
Saturday at the home of Bill and Doris Diggs, then a breakfast
gathering of some sort on Sunday. Plans are still in the making.
Anyone who wants to know more can contact Mary Lou Groome Miller at maryloum@earthlink.net, as she is doing the messaging for the class.
We had planned to be in Europe pretty
much the whole month of July, but are going to switch or dates around
some so we can be in Hampton for this. That Hampton class of '56 is a
great group of people and we always have so much fun when we are with
them.
I agree with someone who said that this
NNHS '65 newsletter is
addictive! I feel like I know all of you now and look forward each day
to seeing what's up with your gang. Thanks for letting me into this
community of love.
Joan How sweet - thanks for being with us, Joan! I'm just delighted to see that you rearranged your trip to be with your friends! Europe has been around for quite some time (or so they tell me) and will no doubt remain a bit longer, but friends have a way of suddenly no longer being among us, as witness these pages: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam-all.html I am all in favor of taking advantage of any and all opportunities to see them. I salute you, Pretty
Lady!

Carol,
If you can stop laughing, you
might include one of these each upcoming newsletter ....
unless you think it undignified.

I’m Not Okay (I Promise)
(My Chemical Romance)
Well if you wanted honesty,
that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm really not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
