“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my
little nephew to Disneyland, -
Jack Handey |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
By now it should be abundantly clear that even without the threat of the horrible computer worm, this is NOT my favorite holiday. Nevertheless, we celebrate as many occasions as we can here, so if this is the sort of thing you like, I say, go for it!

"Steve Canyon TV Show on DVD":
I am going to place a shameless plug for a DVD set that is being put together concerning a TV show from 1958-1959 and ran in reruns in 1960 called "Steve Canyon". It was a live action series that featured real Air Force footage of the day dealing with various security subjects of the Cold War era. (Steve Canyon was also a comic strip character).
John Ellis is working with the Milton Caniff estate and has acquired the original negatives and restored them digitally and releasing a set at a time on DVD through their website: http://stevecanyondvd.blogspot.com/
It was the most expensive TV series per episode at the time. The episodes are uncut and include the original commercials and ABC TV show promo spots as well and have commentaries from various stars still living.
Thought this would be of interest since Langley Field was at our doorstep and we can vividly remember the jet aircraft flying over as well as the feel of the Cold War era.
I have the 4-show sampler disc, Vol. 1 and pre-ordered Vol. 2. They are worth every penny and they need sales up front to continue their efforts so visit their website and buy a disc or even clothing items to help promote sales.
WOWZERS!
Thanks for telling
us, Eric!
Shameless plugs are among our specialties here, and this looks waaay cool!

==============================================
It's come to my attention that some of your emails to me have been getting lost, sometimes habitually. I've discovered the cause for this, and even the cure, but I doubt that it will change anything, just due to the strength of our natural instincts and habits.
In order to serve you better, a couple of years ago I had all my email from NNHS65@yahoo.com redirected to NNHS65@gmail.com. You may write me at either address and I will get it - eventually. I made the change because gmail allows me to send to 500 at once, while Yahoo will only allow 100 per hour. This simplified my life, and sped your announcements along to you. Either addy I use will say it's coming from Yahoo.
This would all be great except for one thing.
If when you write to me you hit Reply, something interesting happens with gmail. The notes are all bundled into what they call, "conversations". They're all connected, all rolled into one. They're all still there; I just won't see them. This issue is compounded if you hit Reply on an email that's a day or two (or more) old. My chances of ever finding those are not good at all, and in fact, the ONLY way I can find them is to run a mail search. And they only way I would do that is if I happened to be clairvoyant - which I'm not.
This system was all fine and dandy back in the days when I spent 12 to 14 hours online; I could catch them as they arrived. Nowadays, I write faster and take more shortcuts, and then run off downstairs to play games with my sweet little chickadees. I'm going to miss those replies when they arrive.
Unless - UNLESS - you begin a BRAND NEW email to me instead of simply hitting Reply!
But, see,
realistically, what are the chances that will happen?!? Not so good.
It's just too, too easy to hit the Reply button. Soooo - if you
don't hear back from me when you've written, just drop me another line asking,
"WHUZZUP?!?", and I'll run a mail search for you, and we'll all be
happy! Thanks!

consent, Until I know which way you went.
WILD GIGGLES!

From F.A.
Saunders (Hampton HS - '64) of VA -
03/31/09 - "United Electric":
Another Newport News landmark bites the dust. United Electric, located on Warwick Boulevard in Hilton is closing the doors after 55 years. I guess with the sagging economy in the building sector, it decided to sell all of its inventory and say so long. It had a good run and helped a lot of folks out.
OH, NO! I'm so
sorry to hear this! Thanks for letting us know, though, F.A.!

The Joy of almonds
Almonds have as much protein per ounce as red meat. Adding almonds into your
diet has shown to help reduce the risk of heart attacks by as much as 50%. This
result is due to the good-for-your-heart vitamin E found in almonds.
Monounsaturated fats can decrease your bad LDL cholesterol levels and increase
your good HDL cholesterol levels. Antioxidants help keep your arteries young.

"You can easily judge the
character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."
- James D. Miles
"You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be
too late."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, American philosopher (1803-1882)

Thank you, Shari!
Once
you asked me why I so disliked April Fools Day. That first site you gave us says
it all. Some things are just not funny.
