Dear Friends and Schoolmates, I was needing to hear the soothing sounds of Jim Reeves today.  |
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD9KLA4qz3A - May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You - Jim Reeves
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_the_Good_Lord_Bless_and_Keep_You:
| "May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You" is a
popular song by
Meredith Willson,
originally published in
1950. The song is now considered a standard, recorded by many artists. It was used as Tallulah Bankhead's theme song for her NBC radio program, "The Big Show." She recited the words in her ultra husky voice. The show featured many of the big stars of the day, and they would join Tallulah in reciting the words, one line per star, which made a memorable ending for the show. However, it was most popular when it was regularly sung by Kate Smith on her early 50's TV show as the closing song. (Kate Smith enjoyed her own personal renaissance in the 70's when the Philadelphia Flyers (Pro Hockey Team) asked her to sing God Bless America at their most important games.) A recording with Eddy Arnold, The Tennessee Plough Boys and his Guitar was made in New York City on December 13, 1950. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-0425 (in USA) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number MH 148. |

From Mike Lindsay (Menchville HS - '83) of Northern VA - 03/21/16, 2:26 PM - "Obit in Daily Press":
| Carol, Hope you are feeling better and enjoying some spring weather in Fayetteville. We actually had some SNOW Saturday at our home in Winchester. I thought I’d pass along the attached obituary from the Daily Press. Pat was Warwick ’58 but I thought some of your readers may have known her or her parents. They were the longtime owners of E&E Auto Parts on Warwick Boulevard (near Dean and Don’s Produce). The business was a NN fixture for decades. It always looked forlorn and run down but was actually a very lucrative business—--a regional Motorcraft distributor (the Ford replacement parts). My lovely wife is from the Roanoke area but has a whole Newport News side of the family of whom Pat is one of the last ones. My small world story is that Pat’s parents lived about a mile away from us in Denbigh and my family knew them or knew of them a good 20 years before I ever knew Becky. AND, my late great aunt and uncle, Atlee and Gracie Harris, lived two blocks away from them and had to have known them. We went to the funeral Friday—drove down that morning, did the funeral thing, had lunch, and drove back to Winchester. Had something we had to be back for that evening. Anyway, thought I’d pass it along. Take care and get well. Best, Mike

Thank
you, Mike!
While I loved your small
world story, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.
You and your
family have my deepest sympathies.

FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 03/21/16:
| An MIT linguistics professor was
lecturing his class recently.
"In English," he said, "a double
negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian,
a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language,
not one, in which a double positive can express a negative." |

May
the Good Lord Bless and Keep You
Words and Music by
Meredith Willson
(18 May 1902 – 15 June 1984), 1950
[As recorded by
Jim Reeves
(20 Aug 1923 – 31 July 1964) on "Songs to Warm the Heart", 1959)]
May the good Lord bless and keep you, whether near or far away.
May you find that long-awaited golden day today.
May your troubles all be small ones, and your fortune ten times ten.
May the good Lord bless and keep you 'til we meet again.
May you walk with sunlight shining and a bluebird in ev'ry tree.
May there be a silver lining back of ev'ry cloud you see.
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrow. Never mind what might have been.
May the good Lord bless and keep you 'til we meet again.
May the good Lord bless and keep you 'til we meet ('til we meet),
'Til we meet ('til we meet) again.
