Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
It seems like a Beatles sort of day.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLhoNBNpuOQ - There's a Place
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There%27s_a_Place:
"There's a Place" is a song composed by
John Lennon and
Paul McCartney, and was first released as a track on
the Beatles' debut
LP,
Please Please Me. Lennon and McCartney share lead vocals, with
George Harrison providing backing vocals. The title was inspired by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's "Somewhere" from West Side Story, which contained the line: "There's a place for us." McCartney owned the album of the soundtrack at the time of writing "There's a Place" and acknowledges its influence.[1] The "place" in question was "the mind", making its subject matter slightly more cerebral than Britain's kissing and cuddling songs and America's surf music from that period.[2] Lennon is quoted as saying: "'There's a Place' was my attempt at a sort of Motown, black thing. [2] It says: 'In my mind there's no sorrow...' It's all in your mind." Composed at McCartney's Forthlin Road home, it was part of the group's stage repertoire in 1963.[3] With its major seventh harmonica intro (later reprised) and searing two-part vocal harmonies in fifths (Lennon low, McCartney high), it stands out as an early Beatles milestone track. The song was recorded on 11 February 1963 in ten takes during the first of three sessions for Please Please Me.[4] The song was officially credited to "McCartney–Lennon", as were all other Lennon–McCartney compositions on the original UK release of Please Please Me... |
PRAYER REQUEST:
From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 04/19/13 -
"Bobby Harrison":
Hi, The attached is ![]() Carol, I can not begin to tell you how much I enjoy your postings. The music, the news, the links, and yes, the caring. When I win the Publisher’s Clearing House contest, ![]() ![]() Happy Week end. Joan
Mona has asked me
to post this message for her. Her husband Bobby was diagnosed with heart
failure, arrhythmia and congestive heart failure. They think he probably
had a heart attack about 2-3 weeks ago. Only 15% of his heart muscle is
working and he had 80% blockages. After 4 days of treatment he finally
qualified for surgery. He was in surgery today for 10.5 hours and the
doctors performed several bypasses. However, there have been many
complications and an artificial device (not a pacemaker) was placed in
his chest beside his heart and is working for his heart. When his heart
has rested and he comes to a point where he stabilizes, they will
probably leave the device in until his heart strengthens, or send him to
MCV for a permanent device and wait for a heart transplant. Good weight
and an athletic body are in his favor. Mona asks that you all keep
praying and think positive. The family is also asking for prayer.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear
this! Thank you for letting me know, Joan!
I think Mona may well
be the former

spite of your troubling news, your note really lifted my drooping
spirits, Joan; I do appreciate your kind words!

REMINDER - SPECIAL REQUEST:
From Malcolm Davis ('65) of VA - 04/09/13, 8:47 AM - "Special request concerning
Jamey (Douglas) Bacon ('66 - of VA)":
Dear Carol, Because of your Typhoon newsletter, that has previously alerted all of your readers to Jamey's medical and fiscal needs in the past, ![]() It is now my request to ask for financial assistance from our classmates and your readers as we try to provide Jamey with improvements for her driveway so that she can maneuver her motorized wheelchair outdoors without getting stuck in the ground or thrown from her chair. Jamey wishes to fill in the center of the driveway and because of her home being located in Hilton, she must use brick to accomplish the project or it will not be approved. I have measured the area and priced the brick paving stone. She will need 288 sq. feet of the brick and that will cost $655.44 retail at Lowe's. She will also need 3 yards of crushed stone and 1 yard of sand which I have not priced yet. I am seeking to have the Peninsula Baptist Summer Youth Work Camp take this on as a mission project in July. This could hold down the cost for labor if the city and the community will allow them to do the work. If not, we will need to purchase the labor from a contractor. I have permission to set up an account at my church, Parkview Baptist Church, to receive any contributions and also to afford us sales tax exempt status when purchasing the materials from this account. An additional 5% discount will be afforded by using the church credit card when making the purchase. You may also deduct the contribution that you make on your income tax returns. I am seeking contributions now to make this mission a reality. This is a real need. Jamey's quality of life would be enhanced by this improvement to her home and yard. She is an amputee and is completely dependent on her wheelchair for mobility. Anyone wishing to contribute to this project is asked to make a check out to Parkview Baptist Church and mail it to Malcolm and Polly Davis at 118 Cindy Circle, Newport News, Va. 23602. I will turn the checks over to the church and keep everyone informed, through your news letter, of the running balance of the contributions received and their ultimate disposition. The names of those who contribute will be kept private and I am hoping that enough individuals will be willing to contribute at least $10.00 so we can raise enough to complete the job even if we have to hire a contractor to install the bricks. Please note on the check that this is for the "Jamey Bacon Mission Project." Here are some pictures of the driveway in its present condition. |

(Douglas) Bacon ('66 - of VA)
Mission Project":
Just read the request for Jamey.
Sometimes Lowe's will donate some materials for situations like this;
might be worth asking them. Also if you know any Realtor that can use a
benefit offered by the National Association of Realtors and Lowe's and
send you a discount coupon for 5 or 10% off purchases. If you could pass on. Thanks, Thelma
WOWZERONI!
Thanks, Thelma - I passed this information on to Malcolm!
|
Thanks, I will look in to this.
SUPER!
Thank you, Malcolm!

Total contributions as of today
are $1,220.00 Things are taking shape now to seek approval from the city and the neighborhood council to do the project.
