1. Donna Vest Hagerman ('71) of VA - 04/09/06:

Carol,
Please add me to your
NNHS newsletter. I'm a
1971 graduate (the last class to graduate). Thank you.
My brother
Buster (Vest - '63 - of VA), E-mails me some of your letters.
Donna Marie Vest Hagerman
Donna, I was rather shocked to receive your note. I thought you had been safely on our mailing list for quite some time: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-list.html But after checking, it seems I was still using your old AOL addy. I assume this mix-up transpired while I was out of commission for three months last year. Anyway, you are safely reattached now. And once again, my sincerest condolences to you and Buster and Eddie ('68) on the loss of your step-father: http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/04-01-06-NNHS-O-C-Griggs.html |

| FYI: For some reason I cannot get
the newsletter today from
either link! May be from my end tho. Will try later!
Sarah No, Miss Sarah, it wasn't your fault - nor mine. I arrived home at 4:00 PM to find the server (and thus the entire site - AND the File Transfer Protocol) down, and it stayed down for several hours. ARGHHHH!!! So I spent the evening scrapbooking my albums while watching old movies on TV. I laid out November 1959. It looks super cute. Thanks, Sarah Sugah! |

From Mr. Don Harvey of VA - 04/09/06 - "OOOPS!!!!!":
| Carol, There was an oops. in the Palm Sunday newsletter. Joe Maddgon (sic) referred to Donald Harvey and you did your thing and highlighted the name with a teacher (me) instead of THE DONALD HARVEY a student who graduated in 1965. He is shown in the 1964 ANCHOR as a junior on page 119. No relation. Keep up the good work. Don Harvey, former teacher at NNHS
Well, Don, as I used to tell my sister
I knew
But I suppose we should ask him. Oh, Major Madagan........
Thanks, Don!
Ummm, Joe MADDGON?!? |
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL -
04/10/06 - "Donald Harvey":
|
Hi, Carol:
I would guess that Donald Harvey was in the
Class of 1954, or maybe 1953. If he is one of your
subscribers, he can fill everyone in on the history of the section known
as Orrsville.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Uh-huh, I see. Well, not really...... But thanks, Adonis!

by supporting Relay For Life!":

Hi Carol, This year, cancer will strike more than 1.3 million Americans and take more than half a million lives. As friends and family, we can do something to save lives and help those already fighting this disease. That’s why I’m taking action against cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life® of in Isle of Wight. Relay for Life is an overnight event that unites our community in a common effort to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. This year's event is June 2nd and 3rd at Windsor High School. The Society works every day to prevent cancer and save lives by supporting groundbreaking research, affecting public policies that protect us from cancer, and educating people on how to prevent or detect cancer early. The Society helps people in our community who have cancer through its many programs and services. Together, we can help the American Cancer Society accelerate the progress toward a cancer-free future. I hope you’ll be able to join us for this year’s event. Please click on the link below for more information, including details on the inspirational Survivors’ Lap and the moving Luminaria Ceremony. If you can’t join us, will you please visit the site and make a donation to support our efforts? Either way, you will make a real difference in the lives of people facing cancer – and in the lives of the people who love them. Thank you! For state fundraising notices and the American Cancer Society’s privacy policy, please paste this link into your browser: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/SU/su_0.asp Follow This Link to visit my personal web page and help me in my efforts to support Relay For Life Of Isle of Wight ****************************************************************************** Some email systems do not support the use of links and therefore this link may not appear to work.

Thank you, Tom. I know this
is near and dear to your heart, and that you devote a tremendous amount of
time and energy to this cause.. I'm equally sure that we have all lost
way too many friends and family members to this dreaded disease. We
wish you much success in your fund-raising efforts.

From Jimmy Hines
('64) of Northern VA - 04/10/06:
| Carol,
Thanks again for your kind words in plugging the CD, and your tireless attention to detail as you cover our observances and holidays with us and for us. As always, you tie things together very well, and with an uncanny knack for the right music! How do you do that? Inquiring minds want to know... Jimmy
Why, thank you, Sweetie!
When I allow myself to
choose the music instead of asking
There were many good choices for Palm Sunday, and I almost switched to "The Holy City" with its magnificent chorus: "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! http://www.breadsite.org/midi/theholycity.mid Ultimately, I decided (as I invariably do) to stay with my first clear prompting, and save that hymn for next year. And when I do pick a song, I'm extraordinarily picky about the rendition, and will sometimes spend an hour or more looking for one that meets my standards and the feeling I was trying to convey. As for my "tireless
attention to detail" - well, I've been annoying people with that my
whole life. It has a name, you know!
Thanks again, Sweetie!
It's wonderful to know that my efforts are appreciated!

Hi Carol - it appears that
your site has been down for 24 hrs or more. I miss the fun! Any word on
when the servers will be back on line? Thanks!
John London, WHS-57
-- Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. ~ Denis Waitley ~ http://groups.msn.com/KumeJimaOkinawaJapan Hi, Sweetie! Believe me, I miss the fun, too! And just when I thought it was all fixed, it was down for much of Monday as well! And then this morning, my entire internet was out for several hours! ARGHHHH! Unfortunately, that all combined to rob me of much needed time at work here, so some of the most fun stuff of necessity must wait until the morrow, when hopefully we'll not have a repeat performance. So if you've sent me something wonderful this week, and don't see it here today, keep the faith. The only good news there
is it gave me time to work some more on my scrapbooks. Y'all will just
be thrilled and delighted (I am sure!) to know that I completed the
title pages for my seventh and eighth grade albums.
Thanks, John!

Carol,
Greetings from the Shenandoah Valley! Hope you are doing better with the
blood pressure thing.
Oh, absolutely! I'm just hunky-dory at the moment,
Sweetie! Thanks for asking!
I am still in awe of you and your "accomplishments", not the least of which is your dedication to this outstanding website. You asked me once to share some of my experiences; well, here goes. I like a captive audience. Last week I attended my last in-service school, before retirement! My wife bought a new car, now she has two. But, here's my point of the week. Saturday night, April Fools Day, (night) I had an hour and fifteen minutes left on my shift, I was caught up with paperwork and that is cause for celebration, in and of itself. Then, came the call, serious accident, roll-over with entrapment, Pegasus (Med-Flight) en route. Needless to say, I did not get home until very late. A young man, who had only had his license for thirteen days, lost control of his pick-up and rolled it, end-over-end. Nobody in the vehicle were wearing there seat belt/shoulder harness. His fifteen year old girlfriend and another fifteen year old girl, both were thrown from the vehicle during the rollovers. His girlfriend never made it to helicopter landing zone. The injuries were horrendous and recovery will be long and difficult not only for the two survivors, but also their families and friends. I have to do this too much, and believe me, once is too much. Please, you, your spouse, your kids, your grandkids, your great-grandkids, your friends, whoever, never get into a vehicle without buckling up; those restraints and airbags, are worth their weight in gold. I'll climb down from my little soapbox now. Thank you for the time and forum. TYPHOONS take care of yourselves and each other, and May God Bless you
ALL!
Jay Styles, '68
Oh, my glory, Sweetie! I think that's as eloquent a testimony as we're likely to find anywhere. Every now and then - and this has strangely happened several times this week on vastly differing subjects - someone will say something, and I'll think, "What year is this? What decade is this? Do we really need to be reminded of such things after all this time?!?" And the answer, sadly, is, "Yes, we do." Thank you for sharing
that very painful story with us, Jay.

I'm Happy Just to Dance with You
Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 1964
(The Beatles)
Before this
dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
I don't want or need to hold your hand
Well it's only try and understand
'cause there's really nothing I would rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
I don't need to kiss or hold you tight
I just want to dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you
It's everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you
It's everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you
It's everything I need
I discovered I'm in love with you
'cause I'm happy just to dance with you
