From Terry Seay ('67) of TN - 04/10/09 - "Hilton Park":
Carol...
I lived on the corner of Hilton Boulevard and Marshall Avenue all my life until I married and moved to Stuart Gardens....... there were so many friends and classmates living within walking distance it will be hard to name them all. I spent many a Saturday night at the tennis courts listening to music or at the community center with Mr. Whitmore spinning the tunes...
If you
include the area bounded by 74th Street to Briarfield Road...there must have
been 30-40 of us.....The Hilsdon girls, Bill Rash ('67), Rickey Yow ('67), Billy
Mortimer,
David Hatchett ('65),
Doug Edgerton ('67),
Price girls (
Diana and
Donna -
'66), Miller girls, Tony
Holcomb ('68),
Terry Kiser
('66), my cousin Garland Hudson ('65),
Billy Turner
('65), Stewart
girls, Casey Riggs ('67), Woody Wagner, Fred Seldonridge, Winky ('67) and Diane
('67) Winkler, Jimmy Dinwiddie ('67),
Ron Timberlake ('67), The Stanaways,
Raymona Rawls ('67),
Kenny Baker and the Baker girls, Joe Bell and so many more....... it was a very
good place to live...the Boys Club was just up the
street...Parkview Baptist Church (which
started out in the Skateland), the Cut-rite drug
store at Briarfield and Marshall Avenue, Shifflet's Barber Shop next door,
grocery store.. Debbie Braswell ('67) lived right there...her mom did my mom's
hair....
Sandra Bateman ('65)
spent many a night cruising the area.. that was a very good thing!

From the President of the Class of 1965,
Joe Wingo of NC - 04/11/09 - "Hilton
Park":
Hello again, Carol,
As I read
Frances Goodson Wang’s
('65 - of MD) account of her neighbors on Highland Court, I was reminded
that if one were to continue on down Madison Avenue they would find the likes of
Tom Oxner ('65), Ronnie
Wood ('65), Donny Reed ('65), Bob Jeffries ('63),
Jimmy Smith ('62), Garland
Hudson ('65), and me! Now I’m sure I’ve omitted many but the mind
ain’t what it used to be and no slight is intended. The point is, this area was
home to a great number of Typhoons.
I was saddened to hear Frances report the area has declined. I remember it as a real neighborhood full of good folks. Many a pickup football game was played on our front yard! Good, simpler times for sure.
Thanks, Carol,
Joe
Thanks, Joe
Sweetie!
I posted your remarks, too:

Janice
McCain Rose of VA - 04/10/09
- "Happy Easter":
Happy Easter Carol.....
Thanks, Lady - you, too!
Linda Lane Lane ('64 - of VA) was correct....I was in the
Future Nurses' Club....and I also was a Candy Striper at the old
Dixie Hospital for 4 years...back in those
days, we were given a lot of responsibility.....even though we were just
volunteers....we could not administer meds or take blood pressure readings...but
we just about did everything else (that's not really done anymore)...like
bathing patients, giving back rubs, bringing ice and water to rooms, changing
beds, helping bedridden patients with going on the bed pan or urinal.
Every two weeks a Candy Striper would rotate to another section....back then the
hospital was segregated....and also had wards....sometimes with 8 patients in
one big room. We went to the basement to pick up supplies, food for the floor
(juices, etc.) linens, but not meds. Going to the basement was always an
adventure....because you had to pass the morgue. We also got to dress babies
for their going home trip. I also worked the switchboard at the
hospital....that was fun also.
I got attached to a special little old lady....the nurses sent me in one day to
try to get her to eat....and I DID. I made it a point to be in her room when
the meals were delivered. Even after I got transferred to another floor, I
would sneak down and help her eat her meals.
One Monday I went to Dixie and went to her room...and she wasn't there...she had
died over the weekend....I never could shake her off her death ....she had no
family (at least none that ever visited)...and that's when I knew I could NOT be
a nurse...it just hurt too much!
WOW!
Thanks for sharing that precious
memory with us, Janice - and once more, you have our deepest admiration!
From Domi O'Brien ('64) of NH - 04/11/09:
As you know, since I'm not a Christian, Easter is not one of my holydays. But it is a day that most people aren't working, and I cancel my Sunday afternoon Irish language class because most of the students have Easter plans (we're not cancelling April 19 because, unlike some years, none of this year's crop of students are Orthodox Christians so the schedule doesn't have to accommodate two Easters). So somehow I wind up hostessing a big dinner for family and friends who don't do "Easter" but who would certainly never miss a chance for a feast. So I have just washed the kitchen and bathroom floors; three kinds of bread dough are rising; the tablecloths are on the tables, and I am preparing tossed salad, Greek cheese-and-herbs-in-phyllo pie, roast beef, herbed leg of lamb, spiral sliced ham, baked salmon fillet, roast chicken, garlic roast potatoes, honeyed carrots, sauteed fresh asparagus, Shrimp Creole, and Scallops in Creamy Sherry Sauce. Other people are bringing dessert-- I hear there will be petit fours, chocolate cake, peanut butter ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream, mango sorbet, raspberry sorbet, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries-- and wines and non-alcoholic beverages. (I don't think I'll be cooking the rest of the week, just eating interesting leftovers.) The daughterling is arriving early, she tells me, to "help" prepare food, bringing THE BOYFRIEND, whose parents she went with him to Colorado to meet last month. (This is the first one she's brought home.)
WOWZERONI!
Thanks, Domi!
I'm sure you'll pass muster
just fine! Besides, HE'S the one who's "posta" feel nervous! GIGGLES!
You always completely blow my mind
with the descriptions of the feasts you prepare! With all the Great Cooks
living here, I myself made a grand exalted effort and baked ONE cake to tote
along with us tomorrow to our family reunion.
It refrigerated overnight, which will make it absolutely - well - fabulous:

2 beaten eggs 2 cups sugar 2 cups sifted flour 2 tsp. baking powder |
1 (20-oz.) can
undrained crushed pineapple 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans |

From Mickey Marcella ('54) of VA -
04/11/09:
Dear Carol,
Thank you so much for all the work you do and the next time I see you at
Buckroe,
I'll give you that big hug!
OH, GOODY
- I LOVE hugs! Thanks, Mickey!
I appreciate your putting my note on the web about the Cal Ripken event for the Boys and Girls Club. I have been on the Boys and Girls Club board for 25 years and a charter member of 1946. This is a once-in-a-lifetime fund raiser for the Club and we appreciate your putting it on line for others to see.
You've done a
great and mighty work, Mickey, and the entire community and beyond is grateful!
We did not know how to do it, so
we asked our good friend,
Fred Mays ('60 of VA) to do
it for us and he was so helpful. Remember, we are Typhoons and there are a few
of us left. They don't make them anymore. Thanks again for your help on this
and it is our pleasure to send you a donation for your good work on this web.
It will be in the mail next week.
OOOH -Thanks
again!
Also, tell
Dave Spriggs ('64 - of VA) we
appreciate his help in locating lost classmates for our class reunion of 1954,
and he has also said he will help locating classmates for my wife's
(Carol Moell Marcella)
class reunion of 1956 also. Also a big thank you to Harvey Weinstein
'57 and Linwood Kramer '51 for their support of the Cal Ripken
event.
Best wishes, Mickey Marcella '54.
Nobody does it
better!

Hey guys, you'll enjoy this one!!
Try this one for size, brings back memories.!!!
Great video on the Model T. Ford
Neat to see those guys making the old wooden wheels, by hand mostly. Video here of Henry Ford riding the 15 millionth Model T off the production line. The places that car had to (and could) go...
Enjoy the film!

From My #5 Son,

Harty (Hillsboro HS,

- '97) of IL - 04/11/09 - "RE:
Computers":
Avast is a free
antivirus program that is quite good.
http://www.avast.com/
As for updating ME, he's out of luck. He might consider switching to Ubuntu
Linux which can be found here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/
It also is free, tends to work well with older systems, and he can test it with
a Live CD before taking the plunge. He just downloads Ubuntu, burns it to a
disk, sticks in the drive, and restarts to boot to the CD.
Thanks, Faniel!

Silenzio":

FINALLY:
From Fred Mays ('60) of VA -
04/10/09 - "The Whipping / A must read":
One big boy they called Big Tom, in the back of the room whispered to his Buddies, 'I won't need any help. I can lick that little bird all by myself.'
One young man suggested 'NO STEALING.' Another one shouted 'BE ON TIME FOR CLASS.' Pretty soon they had 10 rules listed on the board.
The Teacher then asked the class what the punishment should be for breaking these rules. 'Rules are no good unless they are enforced', he said. Someone in the class suggested that if the rules were broken, they should receive 10 licks with a rod across their back with their coat off. The teacher thought that this was pretty harsh, so he asked the class if they would stand by this punishment. The class agreed.
Everything went along pretty good for two or three days... Then Big Tom came in one day very upset. He declared that someone had stolen his lunch. After talking with the students, they came to the conclusion that little Timmy had stolen Big Tom's lunch... Someone had seen little Timmy with Big Tom's lunch.
So the teacher asked him, 'Do you know the punishment?
Little Timmy nodded that he did. 'You must remove your coat,' the teacher instructed....
The little fellow had come with a great big coat on. Little Timmy said to the teacher, 'I am guilty and I am willing to take my punishment, but please don't make me take off my coat.'
The teacher reminded little Timmy of the rules and punishments and again told him he must remove his coat and take his punishment like a man. The little fellow started to unbutton that old coat. As he did so, the teacher saw he did not have a shirt on under the coat. And even worse, he saw a frail and bony frame hidden beneath that coat. The teacher asked little Timmy why he had come to school without a shirt on. Little Timmy replied, 'My daddy's dead and my mother is very poor. I don't have but one shirt, and my mother is washing it today. I wore my big brother's coat so that I could keep warm.'
The young teacher stood and looked at the frail back with the spine protruding against the skin, and his ribs sticking out. He wondered how he could lay a rod on that little back and without even a shirt on.. Still, he knew he must enforce the punishment or the children would not obey the rules. So he drew back to strike little Timmy. Just then Big Tom stood up and came down the aisle. He asked, 'Is there anything that says that I can't take little Timmy's whipping for him?'
The teacher thought about it and agreed. With that Big Tom ripped his coat off and stooped and stood over little Timmy at the desk. Hesitatingly the teacher began to lay the rod on that big back. But for some strange reason after only five licks that old rod just broke in half.. The young teacher buried his face in his hands and began to sob.
He heard a commotion and looked up to find not even one dry eye in the room.
Little Timmy had turned and grabbed Big Tom around the neck apologizing to
him for stealing his lunch. Little Timmy begged Big Tom to forgive him. He
told Big Tom that he would love him till the day he died for taking his
whipping for him.
Aren't you glad that Jesus took our whipping for us? That He shed His precious blood on Calvary so that you and I can have eternal life in Glory with Him? We are unworthy of the price He paid for us, but aren't you glad He loves us that much?
This is a story everyone needs to read. So if you know anyone else who may be blessed by this story, please pass it on.
May God bless you, and keep you safe....
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!
Thank you so much, Fred!
Normally this is the type of
item I would pass along to my most intimate friends rather than posting it in
the Newsletter, but I think there are few stories which illustrate the Atonement
of Jesus Christ better than this, and this is after all a large part of what we
are celebrating here today!
Besides, it's one of my personal favorites!

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Words by Charles Wesley, 1739
(18 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)Music from Lyra Davidica, 1708
Christ the Lord is ris'n today,
Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say:
Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply.
Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King:
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Alleluia!
Dying once, He all doth save:
Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave?
Alleluia!
Love's redeeming work is done,
Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won:
Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Alleluia!
Christ has opened Paradise.
Alleluia!
Soar we now, where Christ has led,
Alleluia!
Foll'wing our exalted Head;
Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Alleluia!
Ours the cross the grave, the skies.
Alleluia!
