Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme comes to us as a request earlier this week from
Marcus C. Higgins
('65) of AZ:
"...Sometimes someone will suggest a song for your columns. Perhaps our 'theme song' should be 'We'll Have These Moments to Remember.' Check out the lyrics sometime. I think it is by The Four Lads, about 1959 maybe."
Thanks, Marcus - great idea!
Actually, that
(1955) song has been on our website itself since
09/27/03, predating even the Newsletters themselves! It was
used to accompany the poem
Brownie Shaffer Haracivet ('62)
of VA wrote for her 40-Year
Reunion in 2002, though the music itself wasn't added for nearly a year:

PRAYER REQUESTS:
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 03/02/09 - "
Bob Hedrick ('58) of VA":
Hi, Carol:
Please keep Bob Hedrick on the TYPHOON Nation prayer list.
He is heading to Houston on Thursday (03/05/09). He was confident he had beaten
the Big C with the help of his physicians, and the pancreas is free of cancer
now, but he is in for another bout with the stomach now. Please keep him on the
Prayer List. He is in good spirits, and he is a fighter.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
YOWZERS!
That we will, Adonis - thanks for letting us know!

From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 03/02/09 - "Bison Trail":
Hi, Carol:
Thanks for the reply to my message in your Newsletter. Since
Captain Dave (Spriggs - '64 - of VA) is busy
assisting in organizing their Class Reunion please do not send my request to him
regarding identification of the Railroad that used the "Nickname" of "The Bison
Trail" on their freight cars.
It looks like it might be a hopeless cause unless one of your faithful
subscribers is a railroad buff and remembers this bit of trivia.
A Google search is overwhelming, and leads only to RV and Campsites, etc.
Railroad Nicknames websites do not display this old nickname, most likely tossed
in the dust bin of railroad history.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
OH,
CRUM! Perhaps we'll learn
more about this later, Major Madagan! Thanks!
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA -
03/02/09 - "RE: Bison Trail":
Shortly after the newsletter appeared, I made a quick Google search, but didn’t turn up anything.
I have not given up, just got … (ahem) … sidetracked for a while.
Thank you, David!

Thanks for the happy images,

From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of
VA - 03/02/09, 10:26 AM - "Winter Wonderland!":
Beautiful!!!!! These pictures were taken this morning, 3/2/09, of my front and back yard. Everyone is home for the day because almost everything is closed. (My daughter) April's power went out last night about 9 o'clock and was off until this morning around 11o'clock, ours blinked but hung in there. If you got snow, send me pictures! I'd love to see them. The grandchildren got their wish and I doubt if they have school tomorrow either. We still have flurries with the temperature in the 20's today and they say it will go down to 9 tonight! Whoaaaaa! I'm not going out of this house!! It's hot chocolate, the recliner
and watching out the window, best way to enjoy snow when you aren't a kid
anymore. I'm only a kid at heart!! Too fat and lazy, that's me!!! ![]()

Thanks,

I think I
know what you had in mind..... I cropped the 1968 Vietnam
image for the Alumni Page and added the one from February there in its full
scope to show your lovely Utah snow:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-list.html

Then I added the full-scope version of the Vietnam image to your slot on Famous Soldiers...
Wait a minute!
You weren't even LISTED on Famous Soldiers!!!
What kind of blithering idiot
runs this place, anyway?!? Oh, yeah...
"Nevermind....."
I am so sorry!
It's bad enough I'm always
running behind on the lovely images you send me, but this is unconscionable.
Okay, you're added now - well, except for your place of birth!

Allegheny Ludlum Steel's 1936 Stainless Steel Ford Tudor Sedan |
1936 Stainless Steel Ford
This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan
built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. This is 1 of only 4 in existence
and is the only one currently in running and in road worthy condition.
The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame
looking great. All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on
them before they removed them from service.
These cars were built for Allegheny as promotional and marketing projects. The
top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them for one
year. The v-8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly
smooth and quiet.
I thought this was a much better looking automobile than the Ford Thunderbird
that visited us last year. FYI, the car was insured (we were told) for the trip
to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars.
We were also told that the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car
parts, making these the last of these cars ever produced. More information of
the history on these automobiles can be found at Allegheny Ludlum's website:
http://www.alleghenyludlum.com/pages/companyinfo/stainlesscars.asp
OHHHH,
Glenn - that's my Dream Car!
Thanks
so much for sharing this with us!
From Jean Poole Burton
('64) of RI - 03/02/09 - "Oh, no, not the trains again!":
FYI I rode the train from RI to Newport News on the 18th of February and back on the 25th. I do not know how fast it was going, how many times it stopped (a lot), or whether there were any other trains going the other way...
I do know this: I had two whole seats to myself, a lot of floor space, room to stretch my legs out, could walk two cars back and get food and drink, did not have to take off my shoes or jacket, did not have to put anything in a plastic bag, had my luggage in sight at all times, no standing in line for security...it was lovely!!!
Sounds delightful to me! Thanks,
Lady!

From Linda May Bond Crayton ('66) of VA to
Glenn Dye
('60) of TX - 03/02/09 - "Pastor Bond":
Dear Glenn,
In response to your enquiry about my being related to another Bond in the area,
let me say this.......
Last year while sitting in Lab Corp, I noticed everyone was moving ahead of me.
Don't know about you, but "waiting" is not my strong suit. After all, I had no
life to get back to and what where they testing for anyway? Taking too many
drugs, not enough, or the wrong ones? I shouldn't complain. If my liver holds
out, I'll live longer so I can continue to do nothing except come here and hang
out!
Back on subject. Thinking I had not signed in
( yea, Right) I checked the clip boarded sheet only to see my name on the
bottom!
What?, I said out loud and then realized it said Linda Bond, not Linda Crayton.
(Between writing mother's bills and doing genealogy I forget my now-name)
Turning into the room I asked for Linda Bond.
There sat a beautiful, skinny black lady about ten years younger than I am. I
said, "That's my name! It's so good to meet you."
She told me she married a Bond and indeed they have always been from Virginia. He ran a Sports shop on 17.
"I'd loved to meet him-hope he's not
prejudiced."
She laughed and gave me hug because she knew I meant it.
I met him, finally. His reply to my questions was, "Yea, I heard we had some
white people in our history." He was not happy.
I said, "Sweetie, you need to relax. Just because we have the same name does not
make us related, but it does mean that we may have shared a time in history
together. There was no television back then, and men found ways to "entertain"
themselves that was beyond anyone's control but their own. It's a man's
world.....I think even you know that. I just live here."
He gave me his e-mail and number and a hug.
I understand that a doctor in my family, of which there are many, had 14
children not of his wife.
Hope this clears things up for you, darlin'.
Linda May ' 66
WILD GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Linda May!

(The
Four Lads), 1955
January to December, we'll have
moments to remember
The New Year's Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We'll have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
SPOKEN:
The drive in movie where we'd go
And somehow never watched the show
We will have these moments to remember
