Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Nothing like sad ol' love songs.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJMQjukSJFM - Dreaming of You - Selena, 1995
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreaming_of_You_%28Selena_song%29:
"Dreaming of You" is the name of a
Selena
love song written by
Franne Golde and
Tom
Snow. It was Selena's biggest single, peaking at #21 on the
Billboard Hot 100. The song was released at the end of the first
quarter of 1995, after Selena's murder. It appeared on
the album of the same name, which was released posthumously. Robert Johnson of Planet Music, a record chain in Houston, told New York Times that people in Houston were buying copies of the album Dreaming of You because of the single "Dreaming of You".[1] 15 years after her death, Teresa Jusino of Popmatters wrote: "Even the most sheltered English-speaking music fan might not know Selena's name, but if you mention her hit singles, "Dreaming of You", or "I Could Fall in Love," they'll likely respond with 'I remember that song!', or 'I love that one!'."[2] Peter Watrous of The New York Times wrote: "It's not that she didn't sing well in English; she spoke English substantially better than she did Spanish. It's that the English song writers didn't step up to the bar with their best material. The music is faceless commerce. That she sings it so well on the album suggests that she had a good chance of success, working lush ballads in an anonymous pop style that Disney has mastered..."[3] |
REMINDER #1 - SPECIAL REQUEST:
From Malcolm Davis ('65) of VA - 04/09/13, 8:47 AM - "Special request concerning
Jamey (Douglas) Bacon ('66 - of VA)":
Dear Carol, Because of your Typhoon newsletter, that has previously alerted all of your readers to Jamey's medical and fiscal needs in the past, ![]() It is now my request to ask for financial assistance from our classmates and your readers as we try to provide Jamey with improvements for her driveway so that she can maneuver her motorized wheelchair outdoors without getting stuck in the ground or thrown from her chair. Jamey wishes to fill in the center of the driveway and because of her home being located in Hilton, she must use brick to accomplish the project or it will not be approved. I have measured the area and priced the brick paving stone. She will need 288 sq. feet of the brick and that will cost $655.44 retail at Lowe's. She will also need 3 yards of crushed stone and 1 yard of sand which I have not priced yet. I am seeking to have the Peninsula Baptist Summer Youth Work Camp take this on as a mission project in July. This could hold down the cost for labor if the city and the community will allow them to do the work. If not, we will need to purchase the labor from a contractor. I have permission to set up an account at my church, Parkview Baptist Church, to receive any contributions and also to afford us sales tax exempt status when purchasing the materials from this account. An additional 5% discount will be afforded by using the church credit card when making the purchase. You may also deduct the contribution that you make on your income tax returns. I am seeking contributions now to make this mission a reality. This is a real need. Jamey's quality of life would be enhanced by this improvement to her home and yard. She is an amputee and is completely dependent on her wheelchair for mobility. Anyone wishing to contribute to this project is asked to make a check out to Parkview Baptist Church and mail it to Malcolm and Polly Davis at 118 Cindy Circle, Newport News, Va. 23602. I will turn the checks over to the church and keep everyone informed, through your news letter, of the running balance of the contributions received and their ultimate disposition. The names of those who contribute will be kept private and I am hoping that enough individuals will be willing to contribute at least $10.00 so we can raise enough to complete the job even if we have to hire a contractor to install the bricks. Please note on the check that this is for the "Jamey Bacon Mission Project." Here are some pictures of the driveway in its present condition. |

Dave Arnold's ('65)

Final Resting
Place":
Carol,
Please post this in an upcoming newsletter.
Dave
Arnold’s Ashes to be Distributed by Civil War Cannon at Fort
Shenandoah on April 13th
My good friend, Dave Arnold (NNHS ’65), died tragically on 21 July
2012, as a result of an automobile accident. In accordance with his
wishes, his body was cremated.
It was also his wish that his ashes be distributed in the Shenandoah
Valley. Dave loved "the Valley" (as he called it) of Virginia. He
grew up in the Tidewater area, but his heart remained in the Valley
area of Virginia. It is only fitting that his ashes should find
their final home there.
It is also only fitting that his ashes should be distributed by
being fired from his very own cannon, which he was having
fabricated, so that he could more fully participate with the 1st
Virginia, his skirmish group, which is a part of the North-South
Skirmish Association.
His final wish will now be fulfilled, thanks to the efforts of his
fellow Civil War skirmishers.
On April 13 at 12:00 noon, this ceremony will take place at Ft.
Shenandoah at the primary range where the skirmish events are held.
Attendees will enter and pass the range keeper's house, and there
are signs to the main range.
All are welcome to attend. Dave would have been thrilled to have you
watch his cannon being fired on the skirmish field. I can think of
no greater way in which to honor his memory.
Fort Shenandoah is owned and operated by the North-South Skirmish
Association and is located near Winchester VA.
You can learn more at their web site:

Directions are here:

For GPS users, the street address is “480 Chalybeate Spring Road,
Winchester VA, 22603”.
Oh, WOW! I had no idea! We wish we could make it ourselves, but I think the chances of that are infinitesimally small.....

FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 04/09/13: A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be eight again." she replied. On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, every thing there was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favorite M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well, Dear, what was it like being eight again?"
Her eyes slowly opened
and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size!!!!!!!" |
