Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This Golden
Oldie from 1931 just popped into my mind - well, from out of nowhere.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Heyman:
| "Out of Nowhere" by Johnny Greene and Edward Heyman became a standard piece of gypsy swing, a musical style established by Django Reinhardt in the 1930's. Gypsy swing remains popular to this day, for additional information see Django Reinhardt and Rosenberg Trio. |

THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0324.htm - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
| Monday, March 24, 1862 CONGRESS CONTEMPLATES COMPENSATION Not all slaves lived in states now in the Confederacy. This was more than a little embarrassing, and downright infuriating to hard-core abolitionists. The US Congress today debated yet another plan to phase out slavery in Union territory, this time by compensation to owners. Abolitionist Wendell Phillips, giving a lecture against this notion in Cincinnati, was booed, hissed, and pelted with eggs. The audience then took to fighting amongst themselves, and Phillips was dragged offstage by his friends and taken away to safety. |

What we don't teach our
children and grandchildren, won't get taught since the government now controls
what gets taught in school through organizationss like NEA, etc. So much of our
history has been removed or altered that it is up to us to
educate..................

I think this is one email that
needs to be forwarded until every American with a computer receives it.
The year is 1907, one hundred years ago...... READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE !
Thanks so much, Sweetie-Pies!

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person 's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'" - Theodore Roosevelt, 1907 |

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 03/23/11 - "What happens to dead penguins?":
|
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on
the ice in Antarctica - where do they go ?
It is a known fact that the penguin is a
very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex
life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for
life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with
its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice
surface, other members of the family and social circle have been
known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial
wings and beaks, until the hole is deep
enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a
circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly
good fellow"
"Freeze a jolly
good fellow."
"Then they kick
him in the ice hole."
You really didn't believe that I know
anything about penguins, did you?
It's so easy to fool OLD
people!

- "THE BIBLE":
| When you carry the Bible, Satan
has a headache; when you open it, he collapses; when he sees you reading it, he loses his strength; AND when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can't hurt you! And did you also know... when you are about to forward this email to others, the devil will discourage you, but forward it anyway.
Good points - thanks, Joyce!

From Ivan Anker ('67) of VA - 03/23/11 - "Biblical Humor...":
| It doesn't hurt to have a
little Biblical humor to start the day....
Q. What kind of man was Boaz before he married Ruth? A. Ruthless. Q. What do they call pastors in Germany ? A. German Shepherds. Q. Who was the greatest financier in the Bible? A. Noah He was floating his stock while everyone else was in liquidation. Q. Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible? A. Pharaoh's daughter. She went down to the bank of the Nile and drew out a little prophet. Q. What kind of motor vehicles are in the Bible? A. Jehovah drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden in a Fury. David's Triumph was heard throughout the land. Also, probably a Honda, because the apostles were all in one Accord. Q. Who was the greatest comedian in the Bible? A. Samson. He brought the house down. Q. What excuse did Adam give to his children as to why he no longer lived in Eden ? A. Your mother ate us out of house and home. Q. Which servant of God was the most flagrant lawbreaker in the Bible? A. Moses. He broke all 10 commandments at once. Q. Which area of Middle East was especially wealthy? A. The area around Jordan. The banks were always overflowing. Q. Who is the greatest babysitter mentioned in the Bible? A. David. He rocked Goliath to a very deep sleep. Q. Which Bible character had no parents? A. Joshua, son of Nun. Q. Why didn't they play cards on the Ark ? A. Because Noah was standing on the deck. ( Groan.) P.S... Did you know it's a sin for a woman to make coffee? Yup, it's in the Bible. It says, 'He-brews.' KEEP SMILING!!!! GOD LOVES YOU BUNCHES AND BUNCHES!!!! Friends are God's way of taking care of us. We'll be friends until we are old and senile. Then we'll be new friends. |
 Thanks,
Ivan!

From
Jerry ('65) and
Judy Phillips ('66) Allen of VA - 03/23/11 - "Holy Humour":
| HOLY HUMOUR A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means? The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly," It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.' (This one is my favorite) ======= There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady. ======== "Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning." ======== A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation." ======== There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets." ======== While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust." ======== A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?" A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy. "Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. "You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... " ======== A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business." ======== People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention. ======== Sunday after church, a mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming." ======== The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist! ----------------------- When you carry the Bible, Satan gets a headache..... When you open it, he collapses..... When he sees you reading it, he faints..... When he sees that you are living what you read, he flees..... And when you are about to forward this message.... He will try and discourage you.. I just defeated him!!! Any other takers? =============

You came to me from out of nowhere,
You took my heart and found it free,
Wonderful dream, wonderful schemes, from nowhere,
Made every hour sweet as a flower to me!
If you should go back to your nowhere,
Leaving me with a memory,
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere,
Hoping you'll bring your love to me.
Hoping you'll bring your love to me.
