From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Be_Me_%28song%29:
| "Let It Be Me" is a popular song originally published in 1955 as "Je t'appartiens". The score was written and first recorded by Gilbert Bécaud. The lyrics were penned in French by Pierre Delanoë. The English language version used lyrics by Mann Curtis and was performed in 1957 by Jill Corey in the television series Climax!. Corey's version, with orchestration by Jimmy Carroll, was released as a single and was moderately successful. The most popular version of "Let It Be Me" was released in 1960 by The Everly Brothers. It reached 7th position on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The harmony arrangement of this version was often emulated in subsequent remakes. |

Cheryl Pless Ramsey ('64) of VA - 04/23/15, 5:53 PM:| Carol, update on
my friend, Cheryl Pless Ramsey. She is in Room 506 at Riverside
Hospital in Newport News, Va. She and her husband have decided that
Cheryl will remain there. They offer Comfort Care which will be better
for both of them because of her daily needs. Her cancer has progressed
very rapidly and surgery is not an option. I would like to ask that
cards be sent to her there and that a prayer be said for her comfort and
that of her husband, Pat. Thank you.
Ohhh.

| A very loud Texan Engineer was
visiting Australia, and talking big about all of the large civil works
in the USA that he was involved in. To be polite his Australian
counterpart took him on a tour of some of Sydney's larger constructions. First he took him to Gladesville Bridge. The Texan exclaimed, "What's that?" In reply the Australian said,
"That's the Gladesville Bridge". The Australian replied, "About 5
years with 1000 men." "That's the Sydney Opera House,"
was the reply. The Australian replied, "About 10
years with 200 men." |
