Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
| . We spent about five hours in the doctor's office this morning, which served the dual purpose of wasting all my time and effectively emptying my mind, so this Newsletter is about one-fourth of its intended length. Fortunately, I already have a Tuesday Bonus Newsletter under construction to help assuage the damage, so keep the faith. |

mother was pregnant! ha

a happy one, Cheryl!

From Mike Leonard ('68) of VA - 03/17/06 - "Bowling Alleys":
|
Carol, There were five bowling alleys here in 1945. They were: Health Center Bowling Alley - 3212 Huntington Avenue The ad for Sports Bowl lists it as the Peninsula's newest
center with 24 lanes. |
From Donnie Satisky ('56) of OR - 03/17/06:
| Carol: The Wythe Bowling Alley was on the second floor of the strip mall at the corner of Kecoughtan Road and Wythe Parkway, across the street from the shopping center where the Wythe Theatre was located. It was a duck pin alley, and was owned by Leon Smith, who was the father of Mannie Smith, who I believe graduated from NNHS in 1957.
YES!!! That's it exactly! And Leon Smith
was the brother of Joseph Smith, the attorney. And Joseph was the
father of Howard Smith ('63), Janet Smith Pitler ('65), and
Steve Smith ('66), all still of VA! (You can add my birthday to the list also: Nov 25,1938, and I am beginning to feel my age) GIGGLES!!! Thanks again, Don! I prefer to think of all such signs and signals as by products of an overactive imagination! I've added your birthdays with the others: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html My class of 1956 will be holding its 50th
reunion on October 20th at the James River Country Club. I am sure someone
in the class will be contacting you about publicity for it. But not me from
Oregon. But I will attend, as I have all of the previous ones.
EXCELLENT!!! I always love to hear of people being able to
attend their reunions! Thanks for writing, Donnie!

From Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 03/18/06:
| Hi
Carol ... some bits and pieces from your Crabber Babe: Oddly enough ... being Irish ... I failed to wear green yesterday .... instead I wore dirt and grease, as I spent the day disassembling my latest restoration project ... a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 ... just about ready to paint the frame and firewall and begin assembly. I'll send you a picture for the car page when I get done.
COOL BEANS!!!
Thanks, Babe!
(Just a hunch, Tom - don't hold your
breath!)

Also
to Mike .... Wythe Bowling Alley was at 2200 Kecoughtan Road, on the
second floor of a shopping center. It was known as Wythe Recreation
Center ... it should be listed in that 45-46 phone book. Here is a
picture of it .... this will be in the Images of America book we are
developing on the history of Olde Wythe. This picture, courtesy of Wythe
Fire Department, was from the mid 40s when the bowling alley burned up.
WOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI!!! |
||
| mid 1940's | |||
Here is a link to the Olde Wythe website for more info on the book: http://www.oldewythe.org/ We will go to publication this summer and books will be available in the fall of 2006. Cost, as are all Arcadia Images of America books, is $19.95. We promise some rare, never before seen pictures of Wythe from the early to mid 1900s, as well as some items dating to the early 17th century! Carol ... I have a copy of that same Burkholder Dairy truck, taken from the 1941 Binnacle .... I will get that to you for the page.
AHA!!!
That's probably the one I'm half-remembering! You must have shown it
to me before, as I have no such image in my files.
WOWZERS!!!
We'll keep an eye out for it!
Thanks, Tommee!

From Me ('65) of NC - 03/17/06 - "Wythe Bowling Alley":
|
The funny thing is, I used to go here quite a bit to play duck pins during
my sophomore year. But I only remember being there. I didn't
remember (until I was told back in October) where it was, or driving there,
or getting up to the second story, or any of a number of details of that
nature. I can "see" the inside and the lanes quite clearly, though.
And of course I remember what I was wearing there one night in January of
1963 - a charcoal grey sweater with matching charcoal grey and maize plaid
wool lined slacks. But then my red bowling shoes clashed with my outfit.
WILD GIGGLES!!! Ah, yes, that was the night (due to my wondrous curve ball) I bowled an entire game, and got a 7 - a 4 and a 3, and the rest were all gutter balls. And in the very next game that same night, I bowled a 143. See? I don't always forget everything! But I'm so delighted to have this much of a cherished memory returned to me, so of course I made a brand new page: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-S-Z.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/wythe-bowling-alley.html - brand new page |

"Wythe
Bowling Alley":
|
Wellllll ..... the key words by which to determine
a song: ball, pins, strike, spare ..... hmmmm, drawing blanks there. Oh,
yes one more word: LANE. A bowling alley is comprised of lanes. But,
what song talks about "lanes"? Only one that I can think of:
(Penny Lane by the Beatles) Best I could do at 0015 on a Saturday morning. D And it's
perfect, of course! Thanks, David!

Hi, Carol:
This is a note regarding the message from Eric
Huffstutler (Bethel HS '75) of VA with respect to the
Famous Soldiers page on
the website.
This week I heard from Captain Daniel
MacArthur Gade, US Army, and he is presently in Orlando being
fitted with a state of the art prosthesis which just might enable him to
be able to run again. His grades at the
University of Georgia are great, two A's and one B, and he pledges
to be even better. He is doing well and his spirits are high.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
WOWZERONI, Sweet Adonis!
You just won this week's prize for bringing tears to my eyes in the fastest
time. Thank you for that wonderful update, Major Madagan!

From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA - 03/17/06 - "UPdate":
|
Carol,
I hope you are taking care of yourself. You were absent for a few days
and I always worry about you.
Nothing major.
It's no secret that I do not handle death very well at all, and four in
nine days did things to me that I'd rather not admit. But thanks so
much for your concern, Linda!
I had a good report today. No Bone Marrow Biopsy for another 2 months and maybe I won't need it then. EXCELLENT!!! Congratulations, Lady! I leave for Tampa tomorrow and am looking forward to warmness. The grand kids are on Spring Break next week so we will take a quick trip to Ft. Lauderdale to see the King Tut Exhibit. My daughter, mother and I had the privilege of seeing the entire exhibit in Cairo in 1983. I'm sure the presentation will be nicer without all the dust in the Cairo Museum. Then we're off to Monkey Jungle, and the Keys for a couple of days. If you don't hear from me, first check the monkey's and next the Keys. I think a less complicated life is in order. In case I haven't told you lately, you are one classy lady. You make my days so enjoyable reading the newsletters and web site. Thank You for keeping us together. WOWZERS!!! Thanks again, Linda! 
Tell
Love,
Linda L. Lane
WILD GIGGLES!!! You're a hoot! It's good to hear from you again. Have fun down there in Florida with your babies! |
From Alice Fowler Edwards ('64) of VA - 03/17/06:
|
That picture of the inside of the
Palace Theater was really great ... I'd
forgotten the murals on the walls ... WOW!
Thanks, Alice
Wasn't that simply
fabulous?!? I'm still stunned at how many memories the sight of that
one wall was able to restore to me! Thanks, Alice! And thanks
again, John!

From Cookie Phillips Tyndall ('64) of VA - 03/18/06:
| Did you notice the shoes on the lady at
the Paramount Box Office sent by John
London (Warwick HS - '57 - of VA)? Deja vu. Looks very much like some of
the new styles. I know! I have a pair very much like them myself, partial as I still am to high heels! Thanks, Cookie!  |
From Carolyn Simpson Knight ('56) of VA - 03/18/06 - "Class of 1956 50-Year
Reunion":
| Hi Carol, Your web site is fantastic and it is wonderful keeping up with all the adventures of “all our Typhoons”, as well as some “Crabbers” and “Farmers” too, especially since I am married to a HHS Crabber (J. D. Knight, Class of 1955)!!! Our class, the NNHS Class of 1956 is currently in the planning stages for our 50th Reunion. It will be held on Friday, October 20th, 2006 at the James River Country Club in Newport News. Cost for the evening will be $56.00 per person and reservations should be made by August 1st and sent to
Judy Leggette Elliott, 15 Rivercrest Drive, Poquoson, VA 23662. Then on
Saturday, October 21st, at 7:00 p.m., a casual meet and greet gathering will
be held at the new Country Inn & Suites on Route 17 in Newport News. A block
of rooms have been reserved for classmates desiring lodging and they can
contact the Inn for reservations (757-327-0722). I’ve attached a notice that
I’ve prepared, hoping that you could use “something” like this on your web
site. Carol, I’m a novice at this sort of thing and you may not be able to
use it, but any notice that you would prepare would be greatly appreciated!!Also, when you have time (I don’t know how you accomplish everything that you do), could you possibly add our class to your “In Memoriam Page”, the “Reunion Page”, and the “Email Addresses page”. We are missing quite a few current addresses of some classmates, and then there are some people “missing” too. You have my permission to add my email address, as well as my birthday (October 27, 1938) to your pages. Additional reunion information will be sent to you when I receive it from Judy Leggette Elliott. Thanks, Carol, for all your help!!! Carolyn Simpson Knight Newport News, VA
Hi, Carolyn!
I'm delighted to hear of your reunion plans, and for the opportunity to
help you publicize it. I added them to the front of the web site with the
others, and hastily threw you together a Class of 1956 Page to add to the
Reunion Page:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/reunion-class-of-1956.html
- brand new page
I was also very happy to
regain Judy's email addy. She gave it to me at
Mr. Mac's memorial service last
summer, and I was horrified to find that it somehow disappeared in one of
my computer crashes.
I've begun your email page
and a Memoriam page, but it will take me a bit of time to complete them
both:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-ALL.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/contact-1956.html - brand new page (under construction)
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/memoriam56.html
- brand new
page (under construction)
And I've added your
birthday to that collection as well:
Thanks for enriching
our pages, Carolyn!

From Judy Leggette Elliott ('56) of VA - 03/19/06:

Dear
Carol,
You truly are an angel; thank you for all that you do, and for including the
Class of 1956 contact page. As I
told you before, I am not computer savvy, so
Well, Pretty Lady, I know some things. I knew that Carolyn was not only Head Cheerleader, but voted Best All Around in your class. And I knew that you were also a cheerleader, as well as President of your Eighth Grade Class, member of National Honor Society, Key Club Sweetheart, and Queen of your Senior Class. http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cheerleaders.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/cheerleaders-56.html But I must say I've never heard the term, "Bullofawack"! I couldn't even find that on Google!!! "Anyone? Anyone?" But I'll bet that none of you has any idea what a thrill it is for me to hear from all of you in this way after all of these years. Thanks so much, Judy!

Thank you!
Thanks for putting it up so quickly. D No problem!

From Eric Huffstutler (Bethel HS - '75) of VA - 03/01/06:
|
Carol,
Wonder if anyone has photos of the old C&O
Coal Terminals? I remember as a kid traveling over a short one lane
wooden bridge that headed towards them somewhere around the pier train
station. Once there you could see a special rig that took in a railroad
train hopper car which would roll it over, upside down to empty it onto a
conveyor belt. That in turn took the coal up to a tower with shoots that
loaded it onto ships. Those black towers were a haunting sight, like
aliens from "War of the Worlds" or giant insects and could see them for
miles. I use to have photos of them during the days when you could drive
up to piers with no security risk but since lost. Would like to see them
again! I wonder what happened to that unique specially made setup?
Eric
(Hmmm - this question was no doubt postponed to some time when my head might clear, but as there seems little hope of that now, we'll just post it anyway....) Eric, I don't remember the wooden bridge (proving nothing, of course), but I do remember my daddy was particularly fascinated by that coal dumping rig. Whenever we had a spare moment which didn't involve Buckroe Beach Amusement Park, the Mariners' Museum, or the War Memorial Museum, chances were excellent that we'd all drive over to watch this hypnotic maneuvering. I'm fully convinced my daddy could have watched this happily for hours at a time, just as he could watch the ships pass at Buckroe Beach. We may not have parked there for over 45 minutes at a time, but it always seemed longer to me as a little girl. I certainly didn't mind, though. As long as we were all out doing something together, I was thrilled. In fact, we even went there to take our Easter pictures in 1954, which even as a six-year old, I thought was a very bizarre backdrop. See if what you're seeking may be in here: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/old-stomping.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/OOSG-C-G.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/railway-shipyard.html If not, surely our Wizard of Wonderment has such an image. Oh, Da-vid..... Thanks, Eric! |

And I Love Her
Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 1964
(The Beatles)
I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives me ev'rything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
