THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0413.htm - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Saturday, April 13, 1861 SUMTER SURRENDER SECURES SECESSION A squadron of Federal ships lay just offshore of Charleston Harbor, loaded with supplies for Fort Sumter. That installation had been under bombardment for thirty-six hours when Maj. Robert Anderson, who had been prepared to evacuate anyway, decided to surrender. First, though, he fired a 50-gun salute to his descending flag. A spark from one of the guns fell into a powder barrel, causing an explosion which killed Pvt. Daniel Hough, the first casualty of the Civil War. |

04/12/11 - "feeling good":
Hey Carol, I received my newsletter of 4-12-11, thanks. A couple of days ago (this is being written on Tuesday), it was about 82 and humid here in Roanoke. I went out to run a couple of errands. I rolled both front windows about 3/4 down and I popped in a c.d. of Al Green's greatest hits. Let me tell you: that man came out from behind the curtain. He had pushed the right button and then stepped out to see my expression when my Ford Explorer became a time machine. The passage back into the sixties went smoothly and swiftly. Do you understand how hard it is to climb out of your wayback when you pull into the driveway? I felt like turning into the first parking lot, getting out of my car, and dancing like no-one was looking. I used to love dancing in the big pavilion at Buckroe! I didn't get these "dance attacks" nearly so frequently when I was younger. The frequency increased about six or seven years ago when I started listening to the music I'd enjoyed so much during the decade from '55-'65. Great music then, great music now! Can I get a witness? Honk if you love r & b. Let me ask you this: does Al Green rule? I see my driveway, later, Ray Barnes
GIGGLES!
Having fun, Ray?!?

04/12/11 - "What has been
going on with me...":
Well, my husband retired at the
end of 2010. Our son got married to a wonderful girl on New Year's Eve
in CA. We went on a great cruise down the coast of CA to Cabo San Lucas
and back, then in February spent two weeks on the sacred soil visiting
family in VA, then in March went to TX and caught up with my Daddy's
side of the family. Life is good.
Ah, I see, you're just a
social butterfly!

From Josie Lyeth - 04/12/11 - "
Harry Lyeth":
Ray Barnes ('65 - of VA)
requested information about Harry Lyeth - Well, Mr. Lyeth was my father
in law. He was a very quiet and kind person who was very proud of his 3
sons and 2 grandchildren. He always enjoyed the grandkids. Sadly, he
died too soon for my kids to really remember a lot about him. Mr. Lyeth was born and raised in a small town in up state NY. Lake Clear, NY is about 25 miles north of Lake Placid. He always missed being in the Adirondacks of NY. He was a hunter, and loved to sail. He met his wife in Oswego NY where he attended college. They had a long and happy marriage. She was a nurse. I feel blessed to have been part of their family. Many fond memories. IF Ray has any other questions - I will be happy to try to answer them. My email address is josiet@cox.net. Josie Lyeth
WOWZERS!
Thank you so much,
Josie! We try to
record as many memories of our teachers in our archive as we can!

1940's Aircraft Carrier
in the Pacific - Rare color footage This is 16mm color (not "colourized")
footage that you may not have seen of carrier action in the Pacific. Not many colour shots in the '40's - extremely expensive then, with a complicated and exacting processing process. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=9dR3h2HdnBQ
Ah, Glenn, you know what
a sucker I am for WWII documentaries! Thanks so much!

Step Into
Spring With The Abundance Dance
By Louise

FINALLY:
From http://www.cleanjokes4u.com/:
Wrong Number: Man calls home. Maid answers phone. He says, "Can I speak to my wife?" She says, "No, she's upstairs in bed with her boyfriend." He's mad--says, "Ok, go to the hall closet and take out my shotgun. Go upstairs and kill them both." Being the loyal maid, she says, "Ok." Five minutes later she picks up the phone and says, "Ok, they're both dead. What should I do with the bodies?" He says, "Throw them in the pool, and I'll take care of them when I get home." She says, "We don't have a pool." He asks, "Is this 555-1234?" |
