    From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 04/18/09 - "The Turpin Brothers":

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 Wayne Stokes ('65) of VA - 04/17/09 - "Yup, you'll send it back":

There is no charge.

IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE FRIENDSHIP WEEK!!!
 
Let's see if you send this back...

		A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups And set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of little boy. 'Mister,' he said, 'I want to buy one of your puppies.' 'Well,' said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, 'These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.' The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into hi s pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. 'I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?'

'Sure,' said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. 'Here, Dolly!' he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up.... 'I want that one,' the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, 'Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.'

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, 'You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.' With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

		'How much?' asked the little boy. 'No charge,' answered the farmer, 'There's no charge for love.' The world is full of people who need someone who understands. It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.

   Okay, Wayne Honey, we just sent this to about 550 of our closest friends! Thanks so much!

      From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 04/18/09 - "Susan Boyle":

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.

  From My Friend, Judy Cress Bowermaster (Litchfield HS, IL - '58) of IL - 04/18/09 - "I'm HAPPY":

Once Upon a Time

From the 1962 Broadway Musical, All American
Music by Charles Strouse; Lyrics by Lee Adams


Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars
And waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though
Tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again
