03/17/05 - NNHS Newsletter - Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   If you're not really Irish today, then just pretend!  Wherever you go and whatever you do, May the luck of the Irish be there with you.

From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 03/07/05 and 03/16/05:

1967 - A Typhoon Dating a Crabber: David Whitley ('67) and Janis "Jo" Goff (Hampton HS - '67)
This one is for Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73)

..... Anyway, I've been busier than a cat covering up doo-doo in a rocking chair full of whistling graveyards. 
Or something like that. No, wait, it was "a bird in the egg is not worth counting your bush full of chickens". 
Yeah, that was it. I love those old sayings.....

   David Darlin', you are the funniest man I've ever known!  I've never a clue what on earth you're saying, but I'm always
too busy delightedly laughing to mind!  Thanks for the fun, Sweetie!  And oh, yes - the old photo is precious; you're both
perfectly gorgeous!  I'm sure Tommee will love it! 

   Right, Babe?

From Dee Hodges Bartram ('66) of VA - 03/16/05:

   Thanks, Dee!  I finally ditched the nasty flu, thanks.  I would have thought the funny mind games with the resulting Bozo
Bloopers would have stopped by now, but Dave Spriggs ('64 - of VA) gently pointed out another one to me which was
so outrageous, I just.... oh, well, maybe this is just The New Me.  Sigh.

   And I trust that you have beaten that vicious illness as well, Dee - thanks again!  (And thanks, David!)

From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 03/16/05:

     GIGGLES!  Thanks, Shari!

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA - 03/16/05:

That was the cutest Easter card from Rip (Collins - '65 - of TN)!  I wanted to send it to my grandkids, but
it won't connect me to the page.  I even typed in the address and got the card, but couldn't forward it on. 
Maybe Rip knows where I can go retrieve the card to send it???????  If you could please pass it on to him I'd
appreciate it! 
Thanks, Dahling.  Sarah Sugah

   Well, Miss Sarah, I don't know if you and Rip were able to resolve that problem, but I suppose you could always just
send your little baby-loves the URL and let them click it themselves:

St. Patrick's Day

Music and lyrics by H. P. Danks
 

Long years ago, when but a child,
I rambled o'er the soft green turf,
Or lingered 'mid the rocky wild,
And watched the fierce Atlantic's surf,
When all the future tinged with gold
To me seemed bright and gay,
Twas then, from lips now still and cold,
I learned to love Saint Patrick's Day.

Chorus:
When all the future tinged with gold
To me seemed bright and gay,
Twas then, from lips now still and cold,
I learned to love Saint Patrick's Day.

Though Erin now is not my home,
My heart still holds her mem'ry dear,
And when the first bright Spring days come,
To gladden each suceeding year,
I see again my native shore,
And almost hear the piper play,
As fancy paints the scene once more
O'er some long past Saint Patrick's Day.

Chorus

There comes to mind a lovely face,
That looked from out the low thatch'd cot,
And with a sweet, untutor'd grace,
Gave what my soul hath ne'er forgot~
True Irish girl, thou Nature's queen~
Oh how the long years speed away,
Since with a sigh, my own Colleen,
We parted one Saint Patrick's Day.

Chorus

In every clime beneath the sky,
The proud, though exiled, Celt is seen,
In honor for his flag to die,
But ever loyal to the Green:
Thus while Columbia well I love,
And keep the "Fourth" and hope I may,
I'll ne'er forget where e'er I rove,
To celebrate Saint Patrick's Day.

Chorus
