03/28/11 - NNHS Newsletter - Only the Lonely
“One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible.” |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
It's time for
the great Roy Orbison.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ4xALSUysc - Only the Lonely - Roy Orbison
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_the_Lonely:
"Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)" is a
1960 song written by
Roy Orbison and
Joe Melson.[1]
Recorded by Orbison, it became his first major hit. As an
operatic
rock ballad, it
was a sound unheard of at the time, described by the
New York Times as expressing "a clenched, driven urgency".[1]
It is seen as a seminal event in the evolution of
Rock and Roll. Released as a
45rpm single by
Monument Records
in May, 1960, "Only The Lonely" went to No. 2 on the
United States
Billboard pop
music charts in late-July 1960 and to No. 14 on the
Billboard R&B charts
[2].
"Only the Lonely" reached
Number One in the
United Kingdom,
a position it achieved on 20th October 1960, staying there for two weeks
(out of a total of 24 weeks spent on the UK singles chart from 28th July
1960).[3] In 1999, "Only the Lonely" was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked it #232 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. |

From the Daily Press - 03/27/11 - "
Nelson Ellis ('56) of VA":
Nelson Ellis leaves a lasting legacy as a basketball official on the Peninsula

Six years after helping
Newport News High win the 1956 state basketball title as the team's
lockdown defender, Nelson Ellis coached a Hampton Roads-area adult team.
That was competitive stuff back in an era when lots of former college
standouts played in the league, and Ellis admits he was tough on
referees. Annoyed by what he considered the low quality of officiating in the league, Ellis and friend ![]() ![]() "We couldn't see how they were missing so many calls, so we decided to do it," Ellis said. "I was in for a rude awakening, because it just wasn't easy as it looked." |

Difficult or not, Ellis quickly fell in love with officiating basketball games. And only now — and only because he is battling cancer — is Ellis giving it up. Ellis, who will undergo surgery in Houston this week for renal cell carcinoma, resigned 13 days ago as commissioner of the Tidewater Basketball Officials Association. That ended a nearly 50-year career in officiating.
Ellis, 73, officiated on the
high school and college levels for more than 20 years, then served as
commissioner for the Peninsula officials association for almost 30
years. This past season, Ellis formed and ran the new Tidewater
association. "He could make a call
from half court on a play under the basket and be right 99.9 percent of
the time," Ellis said. "He had the best judgment of any official I ever
saw." Ellis became a regular
in the Southern Conference and called an NCAA tournament game. He says
he also was one of the first two white officials in the CIAA, the
popular Division II conference of historically black colleges. Copyright © 2011,

Cherokee Legend
Once he survives the night,
he is a MAN.
It was then that he
discovered his father sitting on the stump next to
him.
We, too, are never alone.
Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us,
sitting on the stump beside us.
If you liked
this story, pass
it on. Moral of the story: Just because you can't see God, Doesn't mean He is not there.
