Carol,

This website is a great place to visit and think about how things were. Most of the subjects are nostalgic in nature and remind us all of the "Glory Days" at NNHS. Such great times, great friends, and especially great parties on the beaches. Cooking oysters, steaming crabs, and yes, even a little kissing while standing barefoot in the sand. Where have all the years gone? Usual things can come and go, but the GREAT TIMES AND FRIENDSHIPS LAST FOREVER. At my age, and given a second bite at the apple, with a newly transplanted heart, little things mean the most.

You have made all of this possible with your love and devotion. And for this, We are are eternally grateful. Buckroe Beach with its sound and smells will be remembered in detail at another time. Thanks again for the great memories inspired by you and others.

Fuzzy

   Thank you so much, Fuzzy!  I really appreciate your kind words and tender memories.

It makes what I have to say next even more painful than it already is......

NEWS FLASH:

  From Me ('65) of NC - 05/03/07:

   This will be one of the last of the Newsletters.  All our avenues have been totally exhausted, the tax refund is now gone, and the end is in sight.  The phone, internet, electricity, and water will no doubt be disconnected on or about May 21st at the latest.  I would imagine the eviction process will take a few days longer, but I do not know.  The car insurance will definitely expire on May 17th, but that's quite irrelevant, as we'll not be able to purchase gas anyway.

   The website itself will remain intact until February 26, 2008.  If you visit the site map, you will find precious memories recorded that will take you hours to peruse:

   I will be forwarding instructions to     Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA for the annual site renewal, as well as my current mailing list.  Perhaps the project will continue to exist for you pretty much as before.

   Life if full of new experiences.  Some are to be savored; others merely to be endured.  I am about to embark on the new experience of being homeless.  If given my choices, I think I would have preferred to experience this when I was younger, rather than a few weeks short of my 60th birthday.  However, rarely are we given choices in such matters.

   Bless you all for the joy you're brought into my life.  I'm grateful for the opportunity these last several years to have been part of such a rare adventure, and to have participated in creating something of lasting value.

   Thank you all, my Sweetie-Pies, and I'll see you on the other side.
