Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today is actually the second day of Spring - and that means
we'll all soon be having many changes!
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFByioMIUsg - Changes - Ozzy Osbourne / Black Sabbath, 1972
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMj_hcE62aA - Changes - Ozzy Osbourne, 1993
BONUS #3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM7z4hn9oW0&NR=1 - Changes - Kelly Osbourne and her daddy, Ozzy, 2003
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changes_%28Black_Sabbath_song%29:
"Changes" is a song by Black Sabbath. It first appeared on Black Sabbath, Vol. 4 which was released in 1972. It is a ballad about relationship loss.
The song has been covered by numerous artists, including The Cardigans and Overkill. In 1993, Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath's lead vocalist) re-recorded the song himself as a single (taken from the Live and Loud album). The single peaked at number 9 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks[1] but failed to chart in the UK. The opening track from UNKLE's second album "Never, Never, Land" features a prominent sample from the chorus and loops of the mellotron.
Three decades later, Ozzy recorded yet another version of the song, this time with his daughter, Kelly Osbourne as a duet. The revised lyrics for this version, released in 2003, reflect the moments of their life together. The single reached #1 in the UK. It also reached the top spot on the London Fashion Chart for three weeks, #1 on the Kerrang! UK Download Chart. It also became Birmingham's Big One and was nominated for a Grammy.
REMINDER #1:
From
Me
('65) of IL - 03/15/13 - "Upcoming Two-Week Hiatus -
Plan 42":
If all goes well,
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We'll visit some with family in Missouri and Illinois, and at the moment we're thinking of returning home by Friday, April 5. My access to the internet will probably be non-existent during this time, so we will miss celebrating the First day of Passover, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, and the Last day of Passover together this year. If y'all could watch the obituaries on the Daily Press for those two weeks and send any relevant obituaries to me, I'd really appreciate it, as I doubt I'll be able to locate them upon my return. Any volunteers?? Thanks
so much!

Dave Arnold's ('65)
Carol,
Please post this in an upcoming newsletter.
Dave
Arnold’s Ashes to be Distributed by Civil War Cannon at Fort
Shenandoah on April 13th
My good friend, Dave Arnold (NNHS ’65), died tragically on 21 July
2012, as a result of an automobile accident. In accordance with his
wishes, his body was cremated.
It was also his wish that his ashes be distributed in the Shenandoah
Valley. Dave loved "the Valley" (as he called it) of Virginia. He
grew up in the Tidewater area, but his heart remained in the Valley
area of Virginia. It is only fitting that his ashes should find
their final home there.
It is also only fitting that his ashes should be distributed by
being fired from his very own cannon, which he was having
fabricated, so that he could more fully participate with the 1st
Virginia, his skirmish group, which is a part of the North-South
Skirmish Association.
His final wish will now be fulfilled, thanks to the efforts of his
fellow Civil War skirmishers.
On April 13 at 12:00 noon, this ceremony will take place at Ft.
Shenandoah at the primary range where the skirmish events are held.
Attendees will enter and pass the range keeper's house, and there
are signs to the main range.
All are welcome to attend. Dave would have been thrilled to have you
watch his cannon being fired on the skirmish field. I can think of
no greater way in which to honor his memory.
Fort Shenandoah is owned and operated by the North-South Skirmish
Association and is located near Winchester VA.
You can learn more at their web site:

Directions are here:

For GPS users, the street address is “480 Chalybeate Spring Road,
Winchester VA, 22603”.
Oh, WOW! I had no idea! We wish we could make it ourselves, but I think the chances of that are infinitesimally small.....
April 13, 1861 – American Civil War: Fort Sumter surrendered to Southern forces.

THIS DAY IN WWII:

THIS DAY IN 1963:
Thursday, March 21, 1963 - Musician
Shawn Lane (Black
Oak Arkansas) was born in
Memphis, Tennessee. He died in a hospital in Memphis on September
26, 2003 at the age of 40 of lung-related illnesses.
Lane had
psoriasis throughout his life. After age twelve, he also suffered
from
psoriatic arthritis, which caused stiffness in his joints and after
2000 was affecting his ability to play guitar (Lane stated that with
proper rest he could still play live gigs, etc.).[2]
Lane had treated his psoriasis with
hydrocortisone for many years, which caused his weight to increase,
further loading his joints. The required usage of cortisone over time
resulted in him having
Cushings syndrome. Consequently he backed off taking cortisone, but
then the psoriasis would flare up, and he would need prescription pain
killers to deal with the unremitting pain.[2]
The symptoms of his condition and the side affects of the medications
created a vicious cycle. Complicating matters, for many years Lane did
not have insurance coverage.[2]
In 2003 he started having difficulty breathing and was told that he
would have to remain on
medical oxygen for the rest of his life.[6] Thursday, March 21, 1963 - Baseball player Shawon Dunston was born in Brooklyn, New York. Thursday, March 21, 1963 - Footballer and manager Ronald Koeman was born in Zaandam, North Holland, the Netherlands. |
Hi Carol Your daughter's return will be a wonderful blessing. She sounds like a terrific young lady. We have 4 young men from our ward in the field now. Have a safe trip.
Thanks so much,
Barry!
We have a family in our ward with their three oldest children (a daughter and two sons) all out in the mission field at the same time - and their 18-year-old brother will be joining them this summer as soon as he graduates from high school! |
I have a new post on Last
Tango With Charis. This one was inspired by a play I recently attended,
The Parchman Hour, and contains musings on race and religion. Dangerous,
I know! http://lasttangowithcharis.blogspot.com/2013/03/if-i-had-hammer.html
Thank you so much, Charis
Darlin'!
By the way, did I ever tell you I saw Peter, Paul, and Mary perform in concert in Norfolk in 1966 where they sang this very classic? NO? Well, it's true - I did. You should have been there. You would have enjoyed it. Oh, wait. I forgot. You weren't born yet.
"Nevermind!"

"Most expensive books ever sold at auction & The cheaper things in life often
hold more value":
A Wisdom Tip "Just remember, in a one size fits all world; you will see very few well-dressed people." ~Buddy Wall ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Ventriloquist Goes South A world-renowned ventriloquist is doing a huge show in Madison Square Garden for thousands of people. In his act, he throws in a few blonde jokes here and there. At the end of the show, he is backstage when a blonde woman approaches him, visibly shaken. "I just want to tell you how disgusted and offended I was by your show tonight. The way you made fun of blondes was unnecessary and uncalled for!" The ventriloquist was completely taken aback. He had no idea that his show would ever offend anyone! "Ma'am, I am so sorry. If I had any idea that I would offend audience members, I would never have done the act, and I am very sorry." He said sincerely. "No, no," said the blonde. "I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to that little man sitting in your lap." ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Classified Ad from local newspaper: 06' Suzuki GSXR 1000, $9,000 - This bike is perfect! It has only 1,000 miles and has had its 500 mile dealer service. It's been adult ridden, all wheels have always been on the ground. I use it as a cruiser/commuter. I'm selling it because it was purchased without proper consent of a loving wife. Apparently "Do whatever you want." doesn't mean what I thought. Call Steve. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Random Facts - most expensive books ever sold at auction With the ubiquitousness of the Internet it is easy to forget that once upon a time the recording and passing on of knowledge was a monumentally important, even sacred task and books were frequently more valuable than gold. Now, many books aren't even worth the paper they are printed on, but those rare examples of historic publications in antiquity that are still in good condition can fetch kingly prices. Some of the most expensive books ever sold at auction are... Traite Des Arbres Fruitiers The "Treatise on Fruit Trees" is a five volume set written in 1750. It contains illustrations and descriptions of sixteen different varieties of fruit trees. With a 2006 purchase price of $4.5 million, it has the distinction of being the most expensive book about fruit trees ever sold. The Gutenberg Bible There are 48 Gutenberg Bibles left of the original 180 believed to have been produced. They were printed in 1456 and were the first books produced with moveable type. A copy sold in 1987 for $4.9 million at Christie's New York. First Folio This book, a collection of William Shakespeare's plays, was published after his death in 1623. Seven hundred and fifty copies were published, but only 228 survived. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen purchased a copy for around $6.1 million in 2001. The Canterbury Tales There are only 12 known first edition copies left since its publishing in 1477, and only one is in a private collection. The book was originally purchased in 1776 and not sold again until 1998 with a purchase price of $7.5 million by Christie's of London. Birds Of America This three and a half foot tall book depicts 400 life size North American bird species known to the Audubon Society in the 19th century. Only 200 complete first editions were produced, and 120 exist today. In 2010, one was sold for $11.5 million, but a 2012 copy sold for only $7.9 million. The Gospels Of Henry The Lion Commissioned by Henry the Lion for the alter of the Virgin Mary at Brunswick Cathedral, the German government purchased this 266 page book in 1983 for $11.7 million. The Codex Leicester Da Vinci wasn't only an artist, but also a scientist. This 72 page notebook is a handwritten journal chronicling his thoughts on everything from fossils to what makes the moon glow. Microsoft founder Bill Gates purchased the book for $30.8 million and had it scanned to use as a screensaver for Windows 95. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: So True! "At the beginning of a relationship we are attracted to the other person because we think they are sexy, smart, funny - whatever it is that we find appealing. But very quickly, the focus of the relationship turns to whether we feel appreciated. If we don't feel appreciated, we don't feel loved." - Jonathan Lockwood Huie ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: *-- Long-distance runner retires at age 101 --* HONG KONG - A 101-year-old man who has been in nine marathons since taking up distance running when he was 89 said he retired after a weekend race in Hong Kong. Fauja Singh, whose running and style of dress earned him the title "Turbaned Tornado," said Sunday's 6.2-mile race was his final competitive run, CNN reported Monday. Singh said he completed the Hong Kong event in 32 minutes and 28 seconds, shaving 4 minutes off his time from last year. "Five or six kilometers into the race, I really decided to go for it," he said. "I had lots of power today because I was very happy." Singh said he moved from India to Britain following the death of his son and began running marathons in 2000. He became the first centenarian to complete a marathon when he ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 8 hours, 11 minutes and 6 seconds in 2011. "It's because of the
happiness I get out of it. If something makes you happy, you'll do it
well," Singh said.
Thanks so much, Shari!

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the eve's
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
