03/08/13 - NNHS Newsletter - In the Mood

Any art communicates what you're in the mood to receive.

- Larry Rivers
(17 Aug 1923 - 14 Aug 2002)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

    I'm in the mood for some Big Band Sounds.   I was NOT in the mood for having my internet service going down for 19 hours, but it did anyway.

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3K5uB-wMA - In the Mood - Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, 1946


From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Mood:

"In the Mood" is a song popularized by the American bandleader Glenn Miller in 1939, and one of the best-known arrangements of the big band era. Miller's rendition topped the charts one year later and was featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade... The song was composed by Joe Garland and Andy Razaf, and arranged by Glenn Miller.[1] The main theme previously appeared under the title of "Tar Paper Stomp", credited to jazz trumpeter/bandleader Wingy Manone, who recorded it several times in 1929 and 1930. A story says that after "In the Mood" became a hit, Manone was paid by Miller and his record company not to contest the copyright.

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 03/07/13 - "Famous Marine -   Bobby Hilling":

Hi, Carol:

I noticed that Bobby Hilling is not listed on your Famous Marine pages at your Website.
Bet he will furnish you a photo image in Uniform, if you ask him.

Semper Fidelis,
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

     WHAT?!? NOT LISTED?!? That's absolutely outrageous! How is it we've never picked up on such an egregious omission before?!?

   Thanks for the save, Adonis - I've fixed it now.

    From Bobby Hilling ('62) of VA - 03/07/13 - "Famous Marines":

  Hi Carol.....

I just sent the photo...in fact and just to keep the record straight....... 1965-1971 USMCR finished my tour at E4, by no means a famous Marine............ .........but still a MARINE and proud of it...

Bobby

   Well, Bobby Darlin', aren't you just GORGEOUS! Thanks so much - your entry looks much more complete now!

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to     Bobby Hilling ('62) of VA - 03/07/13 - "Famous Marines":

Carol determines the definition of a Famous Marine on her website, and we surely do not want to argue with this lady.

Semper Fidelis,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   WILD GIGGLES! Thank you, Adonis! This question seems to confuse people on a regular basis. It's quite simple, really.....


     From Me ('65) of NC - 03/07/13 - "What Is a Famous Marine?":

     What Is a Famous Marine?

   This list is comprised of people whose main fame comes from their life OUTSIDE their military service,  and should not be confused with "Noteworthy Marines", although the two are not mutually exclusive.

   When I was two years and four months old, I saw a gorgeous young Marine collecting for Toys for Tots outside Miller and Rhodes in Richmond, and immediately fell in love with the entire Corps.

   Next to a newborn baby and a few select brides, what could be as gloriously beautiful as a Marine in his dress blues?
Not much!
 

..or in my case, being TWO  years old... 
 


        From My #2 Son, Brent Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of TX - 02/23/13, 9:35 PM - "Trip to Havelock":

Glad you all made it home safely. Thanks again for coming down. It was nice to visit with you all even if just for a little bit!
 
   
Friday, February 22, 2013 - Marine Corps Exchange, MCAS, Cherry Point, NC
 

   Thanks so much, Brent - it was great!    


    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 03/07/13 - "Cherry Point":

Greetings from Tampa Bay:

Carol, I can see you now, drooling as you shopped at the Marine Corps Exchange at MCAS Cherry Point, NC.

So pleased to hear that you and         Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of NC) were able to meet your son,         CAPTAIN Brent L. Harty, USA, in Havelock. Sounds like you picked up some nice Corps gear.

Bobby, when we held the Reunion for the 97th Rifle Company, you did not remain long enough, since you had to get back to your business, and sorry I did not have a chance to learn more of your tour in the USMC..... Semper Fidelis,

TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL

   Ahhh, Major Madagan, you know me so well!   It was embarrassing, really.

   As we first entered the Exchange we saw that very impressive young First Sergeant with the four rows of ribbons on his chest.  I said, "Brent, looky that, looky that! I need a picture!"

   So while I was fumbling ridiculously with my camera phone, Brent approached him and said, "Excuse me, Sergeant, I'm in the Army myself, and my dad here's a navy man, but my mom's always had some sort of thing for Marines. Could she snap a picture of you, please?"

   The very nice man graciously complied, but by then my hands were shaking so badly it's a great wonder it's all still in focus!

    From Bobby Hilling ('62) of VA - 03/07/13 - "1962 Hall of Fame":

     ARGGHH! Okay, I fixed my dumb typo (actually, I just mis-copy/pasted it, I s'pose). Thank you so much for calling that to my attention, Bobby; I would never have noticed it.

   From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 03/07/13 - "Reggie - a black lab":

Sad But Nice Dog Story

My dog goes for the paper every morning and he knows Sunday is his day off. So far he seems happy to just get two balls in his mouth, so I guess this knd of story does remind me how nice it is to have a good dog friend.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2318740/posts

   Thanks so much, Billy! Even though snopes.com pronounced this report as False, they added the following nice note:

"However, that the story may not be literal truth does not prevent it from being figurative truth. Those who serve overseas do so at the cost a great personal sacrifice. A tale such a this - literal truth or no - serves to remind us all of how much they give and how much we owe them."
