    From Pat Beck Letzinger ('57) of VA - 04/30/10, 12:59 AM - "Sad News":

Dear Carol, Re:   Barbara Kemp Bostwick – Class of 1957 Barbara was diagnosed with terminal cancer in November 2009. She chose to share that information with all her Classmates this month. She has hopes of attending the Class Picnic in June. Please ask all the NNHS Alumni who knew Barbara in school to please keep her on their prayer lists and support her with their phone calls and cards, as I'm sure Barbara can use lots of encouragement at this time. Barbara Kemp Bostwick - Kemp75@mchsi.com  (address and phone number in NC available upon request) Pat Beck Letzinger Class of '57    Oh, Pat, I'm so very sorry to learn this! I've place Barbara's name on our Prayer Roll. Among our readers are many valiant prayer warriors who will gladly add Barbara to their prayers - whether they know her or not! http://www.nnhs65.com/requests-prayers.html

    From Glenn Dye ('60) of TX - 04/29/10, 9:05 PM:

Carol,

I noticed on the list in this Thursday newsletter, you had me Class of 1958. It should have been 1960.

Glenn

   YIKES! I'm so sorry, Glenn!   

   Remember in the announcement I said I had been fighting computer issues, both real and imagined, all day??  This atrocious blooper is a direct result of one of the real issues.  You see, three or four years ago, in an attempt to avoid blunders of this very type, I set up a special working page where I could just lift the names and images of frequent correspondents and copy and paste them onto each Newsletter.  That especially kept me from "moving" people back to the Sacred Soil at will from wherever they might actually happen to be living, as well as accidentally omitting military seals.

   Yesterday because of those real computer difficulties, I was forced to enter all those names and images manually - which left entirely entirely too much room for error - especially considering my (by then) frazzled nerves.

   I corrected this on both the Newsletter and the Fun to Remember page late last night:

  Thanks so much for pointing it out to me!

      From Phil Hammond ('64) of UT - 04/29/10 - "Summer in the Mountains":

Carol, We have been pounded with snow today and it is expected to continue. Will it ever end!
				The picture of the lift with red buckets is showing how we load test a lift. The buckets contain water to equal 170 lbs. times 3 people for a 3 seat lift chair. The load test allows us to monitor many aspects of operation so we don't have any accidents with people on them in the winter.
Thursday, April 29, 2010 - Park City, Utah
Just another note of what we do at a ski resort in the summer, if it ever gets here. Regards, Phil

   OH, WOW!!! Who knew?? Thanks, Phil!

COMING SOON:
