Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I apologize if anyone tried to reach me yesterday and found me incognito.
They are installing sewer lines in our
neighborhood, and in the process managed to interrupt both our phone lines and
our electricity for several hours.
Happy Birthday tomorrow to Webb Edwards ('57) and Tina Crowder Wescott ('65) of VA!

And speaking of birthdays:
From Gil Hughes ('64) of VA - 03/29/05:
Certainly, Gil! Thank you!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/Happy-Birthday.html
Y'all be sure to
take a look at that page. How are we going to wish you a happy birthday
(or in the case of my coo-coo brain,
forget to wish you a happy birthday) if we don't know when it is?!?
Thanks!

Thanks! And thanks again, Dave!
From Brownie Shaffer Haracivet ('62) of the Virgin Islands - 03/29/05:
WOWZERONI and
OH, CRUM!!! I've spent my whole life trying in vain to see a flying
saucer, and they came to Newport
News six months or so before I did! I've been rooked again! I would
have been so thrilled and delighted to have seen them -
I think.... Sometimes things don't always have quite the anticipated
effect, still.....
Okay, y'all,
tell Brownie you saw it too. Surely she's not the only one who spotted it!
And I'm quite sure that she did. People
have a tendency to discount things told to them by children as though they
imagined the whole thing. Others have a tendency
to belittle and ridicule things when they have no knowledge of it one way or
another. I have a tendency to biff them one when
they do either of these things.
I believe you, Brownie! Thanks for having the courage to share this with us!
And no, you're not the only Typhoon who has seen things, either! But it's not my place to mention who else did............
From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 03/29/05:
Carol -- I couldn't help but laugh
at a typo by Kathy Pilgrim Clark ('63) of
VA -- talking about all the seniors
being in the auditorium
for A period: "We also
experienced a lecture hell ".
Slips like this make you wonder
"...is this how she really felt about
government/history classes?" (I know I felt
that way about them!)
WILDEST GIGGLES!!! Oh, was that a typo?!? I thought Kathy meant to say that!!!
Thanks, Ronnie - and Kathy!
From Cheryl Pless Ramsey ('64) of VA - 03/29/05:
Thanks so
much, Cheryl. After further testing, Miles' physicians decided upon a
quadruple bypass instead, which will be
performed this morning at 7:00 AM. And they - and I - really appreciate
your continued prayers.
From Rip Collins ('65) of TN - 03/29/05:
WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Rip! I love these silly games, probably because I am so notoriously BAD at them!
From David Hatchett ('65) of VA - 03/29/05:
Carol,
My wife, Linda DeShazo Hatchett
('65) and her younger sister Janet DeShazo( NNHS Class of '67) are in
the Parkview
Baptist Church photo. They are in the
3rd row on the right end. Janet is in front of the downspout and Linda is to her
left.
David Hatchett
OH, thanks, David! Maybe we'll be able to fill in the names on all those precious little faces!

From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 03/29/05:
I agree, Judy - except the part about the hats. I always loved hats.
I haven't worn one since 1966, but I miss them. They
were such fun!
EEEK!!!
Well, that's what I get for running my big mouth!
At least I only said nice things about him. Sigh. Oh,
well, I'll simply blush scarlet the next time I see him and feel like a total
idiot, but that's becoming rather standard practice for me
now anyway. Wait a minute - chances are excellent that I won't see him at
all until the Reunion in October. That's almost seven
months away. Chances are even better that he won't remember me at all once
again, because I'm so amazingly forgettable!
LA-LA! No problem!
Thanks, Judy!
(I'm trying to picture Bobby with long hair and a beard.... It's not working.)
From Jimmy Hines ('64) of Northern VA - 03/29/05:
Carol, Thanks for the Anchor listing - where did we go? Did we all have a good time? Who can remember!
Not I, Sweets! I rather think it was to a movie and then to
Shoney's for a bite, but I couldn't begin to
guess which movie
or which theatre or which Shoney's!
I appreciate being set straight on Brooks' Bloxom's ('64 - of VA) choice of names. I honestly didn't know that!
I do remember so often hearing the little kid on the
Roger Clark show (or was it the
George Crawford show
in the AM?) ... giving us all the admonition: "If ya can't say sumpthin' nice,
don't say nuthin' at all!" What great advice!
And Roger Clark's show was the companion for so many drives home, especially
after my family had moved to Denbigh.
After that move, Bobby tried to go to Ferguson for a couple days, but really
didn't like it at all, and returned to NNHS.
We could do that back then-attend a school that was not in our
neighborhood-without a bunch of paperwork.
Reading your newsletters, and perusing the collected info, pictures, etc., really brightens things up. Thanks!!! Jimmy
EEEKARONI!!! Did I say something
nasty again, Jimmy?!? I'm afraid that last little mini-stroke on February
10
may have done me some irreparable damage which I didn't recognize. I never
have had much in the way of good judgment.
I donated my share to my sister, along with my scientific, mechanical, and
logical aptitudes), and now I'm afraid that the
pittance I had remaining has been depleted.
Having first
seen Bambi when I was
two or three years old, and having a mother and a sister who daily drilled me
with the
Golden Rule, I have always made more than the normal conscious effort
incorporate Thumper's advice into my life, and
to try to avoid ever saying or doing anything which might hurt someone
else's feelings. If this character trait is no longer
part of my being, then I'm not sure that I know who I am any more, and that's
kind of scary.
If you early
Newsletter readers would do me a HUGE favor, I'd appreciate it. If
you see me print something outrageous
or rude or hurtful, please drop me a line saying, "Carol, what are you
thinking?!?" Then I'll be able to delete the offending
passage before too many people see it, and maybe we can all get through this
together. Thanks!
And thank you, Jimmy!
From Evelyn Vretos ('55) of VA - 03/29/05:

friends from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 31,
in Riverside-Altmeyer Funeral Home, 7415 River Road, Newport News. A funeral
will be conducted at 1 p.m. Friday, April 1,
in the funeral home by Father George Chioros. Interment will follow in Peninsula
Memorial Park. The family requests that
in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to the Scleroderma
Foundation, 12 Kent Way, Suite 101, Bayfield, MA
01922. Many thanks to the nursing staff and doctors of M.C.V. 5th Floor North
Tower involved in Frank's care for their
compassion and dedication. A special thanks is extended to Dr. Christopher Wise.
We will deeply miss Frank for his
compassion and love and devotion to his family and friends. He will be in our
hearts forever.
Published in the Daily Press on 3/30/2005.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers are extended to you, Evelyn, and to all of Frank's family and friends.
As is our new practice, I'll make Frank his own special memorial page today.
