Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
While we were
searching for the perfect love songs to round out the month of February,
My #5 Son,
Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97) of IL,
suggested this very interesting non-traditional ballad from 1969, which while
quite popular in Europe, was rather obscure here in the United States, and
therefore probably unfamiliar to most of us.
If it does ring a bell,
perhaps you recall it from more recently:
"In 2007, the song was prominently used in Wes Anderson's short film Hotel Chevalier. The film is a prologue to his movie The Darjeeling Limited, in which the song also appears."
I myself certainly do not
remember it; how about you??
Watch the bonus video, and let us know,
please.

Thanks, Nathaniel!

From
Wayne
Stokes ('65) of VA - 02/26/09 - "Please Read":
This has been around before and apparently originated in Europe ("football watch"), but just in case you missed it, I'm bothering you with it again! Don't thank me, what are friends for? I mean, if I didn't trouble you with this, someone else would have and probably have already so done! :-)
And as they used to say on tellybision about a quarter of a century ago, "Let's be careful out there!"
Thanks, Wayne Honey!
From My Sister, Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky ('59)
of NC - 02/26/09:
People here keep asking how you,
Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of IL)
and
Adrienne (Harty
- Hillsboro HS,
IL / American School, IL - of IL)
are and if you miss us. I tell them that you are all having such fun with your
relatives visiting and with parties and family gatherings that you are super
and have no time to miss us.
Well, OF COURSE, we
all miss you, Silly Lady!
I miss you
especially, but also our
friends from church, and our home, and our neighbors, too. I miss the
opportunity of running up to the Sacred Soil with you and all the fun we
had, and dinners, and even shopping with you, and -
OH, CRUM!!!
Now I'm bawling again. We're having fun here, too, but I must say, I think Yogi had the right idea: |

From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 02/26/09 - "RE:
02/24/09 - Mardi Gras":
Carol,
We lived in Gonzales, LA for 3 years back in '81 to '84. We loved the people
and the culture there. Mardi Gras was a special time, not just in New Orleans.
We would exchange King Cakes with friends and co-workers. There were festivals
and parades in many places.
We loved to go to Metairie, LA for what was billed as the Family Parade. The
kids loves it. They had a contest to see who got the most beads. One year our
daughter, Sheri (age 5) was crying because all the beads seemed to go over her
head. Her brother and sister had arms full and she had maybe a dozen. We went
to get something to eat after the parade and when we took off her coat, the hood
that hung down her back was full of beads. She was one happy kid.
Another time we went to a craw-fish boil at the home of a family from church.
They let some of them go and you should have seen the kids run. There was a
giant pot and everything went in it, onions, potatoes, corn on the cob, carrots,
celery and last of all the craw-fish. Then when all was done, they put all the
food and sauces out onto a large trailer covered with newspaper. You pulled up
a chair and everyone ate. Great fun.
If you every get a chance to visit, take it. There is so much more to it than
New Orleans.
Thanks for the chance to remember a great place.
Ruthie
Well, now, that's more
like what I had envisioned! I
somehow doubt I'll ever be going more than a hundred miles from home again, but
it's good to know! Thanks,
Ruthie!
From the President of the Class of 1965,
Joe Wingo of NC - 02/26/08:
Thanks for the birthday wishes, my dear. Just glad to be having another one!
I’m healthy and happy so what more do I have a right to ask for? Life is simple and I try not to complicate it.
Hope you are happy as well even if not settled as yet.
Take care, Carol.
Love ya’ girl,
Joe
Thank you, Joe Sweetie - love you, too!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 02/26/09 - "The Tea Cup":
This is beautiful
There was a couple who took
a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th
wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially
teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked, "May we see that? We've
never seen a cup quite so beautiful."
As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't
understand. I have not always been a teacup. There was a time when I was just
a lump of red clay.
My master took me and rolled me pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "Don't do that! I don't like it! Let me alone," but he only smiled, and gently said; "Not yet!"
Then WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around and around.
"Stop it! I'm getting so dizzy! I'm going to be sick!", I screamed.
But the master only
nodded and said, quietly; "Not yet."
He spun me and poked and prodded and bent me out of shape to suit himself and
then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and
pounded at the door. "Help! Get me out of here!"
I could see him through
the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side,
'Not yet'.
When I thought I couldn't bear it another minute, the door opened. He carefully
took me out and put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good!
"Ah, this is much better," I thought. But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag.
"Oh, please, Stop it, Stop," I cried.
He only shook his head
and said. 'Not yet!'.
Then suddenly he put me back in to the oven. Only it was not like the first one.
This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I
screamed. I cried. I was convinced I would never make it. I was ready to give
up. Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the
shelf, where I cooled and waited and waited, wondering, "What's he going to do
to me next?"
An hour later he handed me a mirror and said, "Look at yourself."
And I did. I
said, "That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful!!!"
Quietly he spoke: "I want you to remember, then," he said, "I know it hurt to be
rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you'd have dried
up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped,
you would have crumbled. I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the
oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes
were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you
never would have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life. If I
hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't have survived for long
because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. Now
you are what I had in mind when I first began with you."
The moral of this story is this: God knows what He's doing for each of us. He is
the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us and make us and expose us to
just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we may be made into a
flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect will.
So when life seems hard, and you are being pounded and patted and pushed almost
beyond endurance; when your world seems to be spinning out of control; when you
feel like you are in a fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink", try
this.
Brew a cup of your
favorite tea in your prettiest tea cup, sit down and think on this story and
then, have a little talk with the Potter.
Thank you so much, Norris! I've
heard this analogy many times, but it was expressed so nicely in this telling.
Make mine herb tea, please!

Hey, Carol!
Does this Santa picture count? It was taken in '62 or '63 down on Washington Avenue somewhere. We think it was Grant's. AWWW - this certainly DOES count! That is soooo precious - and I'm glad y'all were able to re-visit with him later! We just love those THEN and NOW shots! |

Thanks, Lady!

Carol,

She was told they were going to learn to draw blood!

Sometimes (such as now) when I'm
obsessing over tiny ridiculous details and wondering if I'm ever going to finish

so it's good to know someone does!

Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)
Written by
Peter Sarstedt,
1969
(b. 12 Dec 1942)
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds
and pearls in your hair, yes, there are
And you live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes, you do
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Well, I've seen all your qualifications
That you got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes, it does
And when you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no, you don't
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Your name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
And he sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha-ha
And they say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
Ah, but they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
You better tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Well, I remember the back streets of Naples
And two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes, they try
So look into my face, Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear
the scar, deep inside, yes, you do
I know where you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head
