“Don't waste the feast of Purim! Wake up early - extra early and talk to G_d.
Say everything that is on your heart. |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today is a Two-Fer
Holiday. Christians are observing Good Friday in a variety of ways, while
Jews are celebrating Purim. We're going to follow that one today, because
I'm quite afraid we have always somehow managed to overlook it in the past.

From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA
- 03/20/08 - "Walking":
Many of us live in fear of mental decline
in our older years, but now there may be something you can do to help! What
happens to our minds as we age isn't just a matter of genetics or bad luck.
Exercise — or the lack thereof — also plays a key role, according to two
studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In one study, researchers followed more than 2,200 people aged 71 to 93 for
seven years. They found that those who walked less than one-quarter mile a day
had twice the risk of dementia than did those who walked at least two miles a
day.
In the second study, researchers tracked more than 19,000 women for nine years
and found that those who exercised the most cut their risk of memory problems
by 20 percent. Those who walked at least an hour and a half a week also scored
significantly higher on memory, attention, and other mental acuity tests than
women who walked less than 40 minutes a week. So get walking! Every step will
not only be good for your body, it'll also be sharpening your mind!
That certainly makes
sense! Thanks, Renee!
From Buddy David ('61) of VA - 03/20/08 - "Mini-Reunion for the Class of 1961":
The Class of 1961 is having a mini-reunion. I would like to send to you our list of missing class mates and have you publish it and ask if anyone knows where these people are? Is that something you would be willing to do.
Buddy David
You are the best---I'll get it together and get it to you. Thanks.
You're most welcome, Buddy!
From Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA -

This is a video of the Cactus Cuties, http://thecactuscuties.com, very talented young ladies ranging in age from 8 to 13 singing The Star Spangled Banner. The performance was at the Texas Tech vs. Texas basketball game January 20, 2008 in front of over 11,000 people. The Cuties are Andi, Baylee, Blaire, Madeline and Tatum. The group is named for the Cactus Theater in Lubbock, Texas and are coached by Cami Caldwell.

Happy Easter, Lady!
From Richard Dawes (NNHS / HHS - '62) of VA - "Two Way Mirror":
Carol
Here is another one that was not checked out.
In reference to the note from
Glenn Dye
('60 - of TXI:
At first
thought...good Idea, but then logic took over, what little I have left.
First and foremost, any material put on a thick piece of glass from the back
side will give you a depth of field effect when you put your finger on the
front. You can try it on framed pictures, but the thicker the glass the more
effect, such as heavy weight glass used for mirrors. The only time you will not
get this effect is when the substance is placed on the front of the glass or the
glass is very very thin. This is just not done. Too easy to scratch off, remove
or detect. The only exception that I can think of, other than Instrument grade
mirrors, is Mylar film. Mylar film is very strong and flexible. It is used in
all types of environments and could possibly work as a two way mirror but it is
detectable due to the distortion and color of the reflection. It gives you the
same effect as looking into a stainless steel mirror. So… I figured this was
just another Hoax, and it is.
I checked Snopes and this is what I found.

Dicky
OHHH, Dicky Darlin', I am just CRUSHED!!! I mean, I saw this on a news report on tellybision YEARS ago and have been dutifully checking for it ever since - and it was all for naught!
And it never ever occurred to me to check the validity, because I had for so long accepted it as Truth, Justice, and the American Way!
Oh, no, wait a minute (or "wit a minute", as we Scots say). That was Superman, wasn't it? Sigh.
Thanks for setting us all straight once again, Sweetie!
