Is there any doubt I love kisses?!?.

My #6 son,
Dale (Harty - Hillsboro HS/American School, IL - '02 - of VA) likes kisses,
too. In fact, this is one of his favorite songs, first used here on 10/22/04:

Hi, Carol:
What a wonderful time y'all must have had!
Last fall at the Open 40-Year Reunion of the Class of 1966,
Fred Mays ('60 - of VA), bless his sweet heart, gave me a copy of the
Reunion Booklet from the 45-Year Reunion
of the Class of 1961. I read in there of Gary's being two blocks
from the Twin Towers when they went down.. What a harrowing time that must
have been for him!
Thanks again, Adonis!

From Lynn Engle of VA - 03/25/07:
Carol;
Bruce Spigel
('65) passed away. They have somehow helped, and at times I would remember
a name that Bruce had brought up in conversation. He really enjoyed receiving
the news about everyone. It is hard to believe that Bruce passed away over
three years ago. I will always hold his love and memories in my heart.
I am also happy to announce that I have met and will marry a wonderful guy this summer. You can remove my name from your list, but I will always remain grateful that all of you cared so much for Bruce and his smile will live forever.
Best to you always.
Lynn, that is such wonderful news! I'm so very happy for you!
We've enjoyed having you with us, and yes, it hardly seems possible that three years have passed.
We wish you all the best, Lady!

---------------------------------------------------
When my granddaughter, Ann, was 9-years-old, she was
given an assignment by her teacher to write a story on "Where my family came
from." The purpose was to understand your genealogy.
I was not aware of her assignment when she asked me at the dining room table one
night,
"Grandma, where did I come from?"
I responded quite nervously because my son and daughter-in-law were out of town
and I was stalling until they returned home, "Well, honey, the stork brought
you."
"Where did Mom come from then?"
"The stork brought her, too."
"OK, then.... where did you come from?"
"The stork brought me too, dear."
"Okay, thanks, Grandma."
I did not think anything more about it until two days later when I was cleaning
Ann's room and read the first sentence of her paper... "For three generations
there have been no natural births in our family."
-----------------------------------
Super Hero
Dr. Marilyn spoke at our staff meeting.
She took us through exercises as she worked to get our minds and spirits
adjusted to a more positive direction.
"Close your eyes and think back to when you were small. What did you want to be?
What were your dreams? What did you want to do? Close your eyes and think back."
she instructed.
I closed my eyes and thought back. I remembered what I wanted to be.
Dr. Marilyn then told of her early beginnings as a writer. She told of the
articles and the publishing successes that she experienced but so many of them
were punctuated by, "I didn't get paid for that."
Her words struck me.
I worked in a corner drug store when I was very small. I was below the age limit
to work but the store made an exception. My father owned the store, thus the
exception.
I worked long and hard. I treasured my lunch breaks. Not so much for the food or
the rest, it was what I did during my lunch breaks that I treasured. I read
comic books. I read the action books, not the romance or the comedies, action,
pure action.
When I closed my eyes and thought back, I knew instantly what I had aspired to
be.
A Super Hero!
Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Ironman were some of my heroes.
In all of the action comics that I read, there were two distinct patterns. Those
two patterns were in every action comic book that I can recall.
First, there was always a battle between good and evil. The battle was always
tough. The battle was always a close call. No matter how strong or how many
powers the Super Hero had, evil pushed him to the very limit and most times
almost defeated him.
Second, the Super Hero was never paid for his contribution to society; he always
earned his living in his alter ego.
Superman made money as Clark Kent, a newspaper reporter.
Batman made money as Bruce Wayne, a rich industrialist.
Spiderman made money as Peter Parker, a photographer.
Ironman made money as Tony Stark, owner of Stark Industries.
None of them were paid for being a Super Hero and the contributions they made as
Super Heroes.
As I listened to Dr. Marilyn state how she had never been paid for many things,
a light popped on in my mind.
"The real Super Heroes don't get paid for the Super Hero stuff!"
I pastor a church and have never accepted a salary or taken up love offerings
for myself. It's correct to be fairly compensated but I, like Paul, simply
choose not to.
I am the editor of MountainWings and the
AirJesus.com websites, and I don’t get any
money for that either.
I realized as my eyes were closed that it is Super Hero stuff and my dream has
been realized.
You've got Super Hero stuff too.
Parenting
Volunteering
Helping a stranger or friend in need
Doing anything beneficial that takes time, effort, energy or resources and where
you expect no monetary return is Super Hero stuff.
Use your powers well.
WOWZERONI!!!
Thanks so much, Shari!

Howdy! That video from Shari ("Women Bloopers") is hilarious!
http://damncoolpics.blogspot.com/search/label/Women%20Bloopers
Have you seen
Bethany's (Winona Harty) - Siuslaw HS, OR - '94 - of IL)
video? I'm sure it would make a great addition to a possible newsletter on
Remembrance Day (April 29th) or somewhere right around there.
Go to
www.bethanyharty.blogspot.com Very good stuff,
if I can toot my wife's horn.
Love you! bh
I did see that video, Brent, really quite soon after
she released it that morning. But for some reason it made my eyes really
watery, and - oh, well, I'll admit it, it made me cry so hard I couldn't see
what I was doing.

So every time I tried to sign her blog to tell her that, I got nowhere. I must try that again later.....
That's
some fine lady you married, Sweetie! Give her a hug for me!

Oh, remind me about Remembrance Day (lest I forget), and I'll post it again.

"A more recent photo for Famous Soldiers page.":

Hi, Carol:
Perhaps you will consider replacing the
circa 1982 photo on the Famous
Soldiers page of me in the Commander's Copula of the M-60 Tank
with the attached photo which was taken November 2006 as I was
preparing to attend the
Veterans Day celebration in Tampa. It was my honor to lead the
Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. Flag that evening before some 350
veterans of
World War II, Korea,
Vietnam, Gulf War, and Global War on Terror theatres.

Okay, Major Madagan, that settles it. I am quite insane. When I saw this image, I wondered why you were sending it, as you had sent it to me some months ago, and I had seen it in my files only yesterday.
Wal, JA - in my FILES since 11/14/06, but not POSTED!!! ARGHHH!!!
Now, how could this be?!? Lemme see. Last fall. When I really wasn't finishing much of anything. Sort of like - NOW.
Oh. Yeah. Got it. Sigh.
Okay, Adonis, it's posted at last:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/famous-soldiers-M-R.html
Of course, I never replace anything. I only add. The older image is hardly obsolete; it's only been augmented by the newer.
And what a great story - and great honor - that is, Joe!
Thanks so much for sharing it with us, even if you did need to kabong me on the
head a couple of times.

Thanks again, Sweet Adonis!

What did your town look like according to Penny Postcards?
Check out your old stomping grounds during the times of the penny postcard.
Click on the state and then on the county to see old
penny postcards from that area.....pretty neat.
Thank you, Carol Anne!
We've run this a couple of times
- and will continue to do so for any who might have missed it - because it is
waaaay cool!

Brenda Amos Williams
('62) of VA - 03/16/07 - "Re: HELLO":
Hi Carol,
Here I am again asking for another favor. Would you please post on your
website how much we would love to find our 1962 classmates? I know that lots
of folks that read your website, much more than our small
62 website. Our reunion
is getting close (September 22) and we really would like to find as many as
we can. We had a recent mailing and quite a few came back to us, such as
wrong address, moved, etc. so sure would appreciate you putting that up for
us.
You know also that you are always invited to
attend our reunion. We really would like to invite
all the classmates from 1960 to 1965 to attend our Friday night affair.
Soon we will have a webpage with all the information and invitation on it.
I appreciate all you do and hope things are doing good for all of you now.
Again, thanks for the help. Keep up the GREAT
WORK!
Brenda

Why,
certainly, Brenda!
In fact, if you'll send me a list of your "missing", we'll post it and begin
to search for them individually.
Thank you for the
invitation! I'm delighted to see that you've opened your Friday night
to include the two classes on either side of you. It will be a fun
time for all, and I'm glad to help you in any way that I can.

From Sandra Canepa ('56) of VA) - 03/18/07 - "Buckroe & Crossroads
Entertainment Complex":
March 18, 2007
Crossroads & Buckroe
I applaud the Hampton City Council for considering everything the new Crossroads entertainment complex is expected to do for Hampton. The Daily Press reports that Hampton is looking for Crossroads to be "an attempt to make Hampton a destination" and is "looking for people to come in." ("Hampton's $200M plan," Feb. 15)
Buckroe Beach and Lots B have been the goose that has laid, and continue to lay, golden eggs in the form of attracting thousands of people and thousands of dollars in revenue to a proven destination. Now the council wants to cut up, sell off and destroy this known attraction in hopes its "new goose," the Crossroads complex, will lay the golden eggs for Hampton in the future.
How much more sense would it make for Hampton to have two major attractions to tout; one tried and true, but improved into a magnificent bayfront park with ample off-street parking, and the other, new and untried but needing all the help possible to compete with the other six entertainment complexes in the area.
The council is doing the XL Development Group a huge disservice by not doing all it can as the hosting city to help ensure it a success. Why would the council destroy one financially proven "one-of-a-kind" destination spot to lay all the onus on an unproven Crossroads in "an attempt to make Hampton a destination" when together the two certainly would be a winning ticket and better for everyone involved?
Doesn't it make good business sense for the council to reconsider its earlier vote on Buckroe's Lots B (view Option B at www.buckroebeach.org.)?
Contact the council at 727-6315 or council@hampton.gov, and let them hear your thoughts on developing Buckroe along with the Crossroads complex.
Sandra Canepa
Hampton
Thank
you so much, Sandra!
I'm
delighted to see there's still hope and that you and your committee are still
working so diligently to save this for all of us.
Now, y'all do your part, too!

A Kiss to Build a Dream
On
Words and Music by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Oscar Hammerstein
II, 1951
Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
