Hi Carol,
Please pass my prayers for a speedy
recovery on to the Turpin Brothers. They may remember my husband,
Dickie Krause ('57).
Dick had a long history of cardio / vascular health problems. He had open heart
surgery in the 80's at Riverside Hospital. Their team was wonderful. Dick was
admitted with a heart attack. The surgery following as soon as he was stable.
I am writing to give them hope and encouragement. These folks know what they
are doing. Dick survived and live a very productive life for many years
afterwards. His heart finally wore out in 1999. But if this surgery had not
been available he would have passed away much sooner.
I hope things work out as well for your husband's back pain. Somehow, I think humans can tolerate pretty much 'stuff', but constant pain gets old fast. I am sorry you are going through this. Blessings to you and your family.
In God,
Joan L. Krause
Thank
you so much, Joan!

From Sandi Bateman Chestnut ('65) of
VA - 04/19/09 - "John Allen":
Hi, Carol,
It seems like I'm always sending sad news
lately, and I'm doing it yet again. John Allen (Class of 54, I think),
and brother of
Richie ('66), Charlie, the late
Fred Allen
('55) and Faye Allen Andrashko ('64)
has been battling cancer for a few years. The last few months have been really
tough and last week Hospice was called in. The family is together today, as
they've been told that John probably will not be with them much longer as his
kidneys are failing. Please add this wonderful family, who happen to be my
former in-laws and good friends, to your prayer list.
I'm so
very sorry to hear this, Sandi! We'll keep them all in our prayers.

On a brighter note, my brother,
Johnnie (Bateman - '70 - of VA), is back at work and is a lot better.
That is
good news!!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/requests-prayers.html
You and
Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 -
of IL) are in our prayers too and
hopefully, when you do see the doctors, there won't be anything seriously
wrong. Thanks for everything you do for our extended
NNHS family.
Love,
Sandi
Thanks
again, Sandi!

NEWS FLASH:
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA -
04/18/09 - "Saunders
Stadium Demolition":
Now that we have a number of bricks safely tucked away, I would like to know who might want one. If the tally grows enough, we can go back for more, but we cannot wait too long. At some point, the demolishers will want to cart it all off to the landfill.
If you wish to reserve one or more bricks, send me an e-mail at nnhs64@cox.net. Please place the word “BRICK” in the subject line.
Thank you so
very much, Captain!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA -

Happy Saturday...
You've probably heard about this video and probably even seen a portion of
it. It's about Susan Boyle who just has captured the whole world's heart...
even Simon and Piers!
Watch her entire performance, including all the pre and post interviews.
Has 47-Year-Old Susan Boyle gone from Scottish spinster to the next pop
sensation? Watch as Susan goes from being laughed at to wowing EVERYONE with
her performance in the auditions for Britain's Got Talent.
