1.   Ron Smith ('65) of VA - 03/01/10:

   Thanks, Ron - and welcome back!

   It took me a while to figure out how you were able to sign the Guest Book while the site was down - because I couldn't even access it myself!

   Then I realized that you had Googled "NNHS65" and were directed to our old site right where last we left it nearly seven years ago:

   I didn't even know that was still available online!

   Give our love to Patti!

THIS DAY IN WWII:

THIS DAY IN 1965:

  From Jacque Ray Fisher ('66) of NC - 02/28/10 - "New email address":

    From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 03/01/10 - "Today's Mail":

Good Evening All. I wanted to share a little bit of TRIVA for today’s laugh. Today’s mail brought an envelope address to  R.H. Krause (who was my husband, Dick - '57) (05 Feb 1938 - 27 Dec 1999) at my current address. Please keep in mind Dick never lived at this address. The content of the envelope is a survey for the Peninsula Memorial Park, a local cemetery. Currently, I am planning on completing the survey mailing it back to them, along with the envelope addressed to Dick and a note referring them to his current address. This address happens to be in their park. LOL Scott and I have laughed. This is too funny. Dick’s only been gone for 10 years. They pull the weeds from around him at least twice a year. Hello here. Thought you would enjoy this chuckle. Joan

That's priceless, Joan! Thanks for sharing this with us!

  From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA - 03/02/10 - "Cleaning Service for Chemo Patients":

WOWZERS! What a truly wonderful service! Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information with us, Renee!

From Gary Sealey of VA - 03/01/10 - "go to www.EveryChildDeservesAchance.org":

        From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 03/01/10 - "Worms":

4 Worms Church Sermon! For those of you who missed church on Sunday, here is a recap! Four worms and a lesson to be learned!!!! A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke. The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup. The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol- Dead The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead  Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.  So the Minister asked the congregation -  What did you learn from this demonstration??? Maxine sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,  'As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!' That pretty much ended the service.

Thanks, Gorgeous!

  From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 02/18/10 - "Panda Therapy (#6 in a Series of 19)":

I love these Panda emails!  I hope you get the "warm fuzzies", too!

Is it any wonder the world has fallen in love with these animals? DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER ALREADY?       Yes, I do! Thanks, Judy!

Crazy News Tidbit

Anxious to 'include' as many minorities, religions and disabilities as possible, the human resources department of the University of Alberta has put up a Braille poster outside its main office. The poster has been placed inside a display case with a glass front.

[This is brought to you by the same geniuses who put Braille instructions on the drive up window at the bank.]

Back in the Saddle Again

Co-written by Gene Autry (29 Sept 1907 - 02 Oct 1998) and Ray Whitley (05 Dec 1901 - 21 Feb 1979), 1939
 

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
