Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
If I
remember correctly, this song always drove
My Sister, Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky
('59) of NC, crazy.
I
('65) of IL, on the other hand, really liked it. Or maybe - maybe -
I just liked driving my sister crazy!

HEALTH UPDATES:
From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 05/05/09, 8:28 PM - "
Monty
(Phillips - '62 - of VA),
Jerry
(Allen - '65 - of VA), and
Howard (Hodnett - '45 - of VA)":
Thank you so much for adding Monty (Phillips - '62 - of VA) to the Marine tribute page.
I took him to the surgeon for a follow up visit. He sees the oncologist on Thursday. His surgery went well and he seems to be doing pretty well. He can now eat regular food and his digestive system seems to be working like it should.
Thanks for all you do, Carol. Thanks to all the Typhoons who are praying for Monty.
Jerry (Allen - '65 - of VA)
(I took him this afternoon) and his dad
(Howard Hodnett - '45 - of VA)
also went to the doctor today. Jerry's knee is giving him so much pain that he
could barely walk and he received cortisone. His father, who is diabetic, was
given a new prescription last Friday that just about did him in over the last
four days. I think we have him headed in the right direction now. He also has
a kidney infection.
Please keep them in your prayers, too.......and thank God that I am in good shape.....or should I say healthy or in pretty good condition.
Oh, well, I am very THANKFUL!
Love you
guys!
Judy
WOWZER-YOWZERS!
Thank
you,
Dearest Judy!
We'll keep them all - and you as well - in our prayers.

From Linda Lane Lane
('64) of VA - 05/05/09 - "Birthday of
Helen
Shelton":
Some years ago, it was requested we send Mrs. Shelton, our former English teacher at NNHS, a birthday card. I had Mrs. Shelton for English and Home Room and thought fondly of her. I sent her a card then and have continued to send her cards for all types of occasions. When she received my first card, she responded and I was delighted she would remember me. In April, I received another note from her telling me she was 91 years old and had moved to the assisted living area of Warwick Forrest due to failing eye sight and hearing.
Her mind is clear as a bell and her hand writing hasn't changed over the last 45 years. I know she would love to hear from any and all of the NNHS family in celebrating her birthday.
Thanks,
Linda L. Lane
WOWZERS!
Thanks
so much,
Linda-Linda!

Thats
certainly a nice endorsement! Thanks, Captain - and kids!
From Eric Huffstutler (Bethel HS - '75)
of VA - 05/03/09 - "Our Music":
Just an update on my record museum collection. For my "Colors of Music" section that consist in part with the very first 45rpm records which were issued by RCA Victor, I now have all of the colors they released. Remember that the very first ones were in translucent colors except for the new popular music issues - which were done on black vinyl. The rarest of the colors are the Orange or what they called Cerise (Rhythm and Blues) which had less that 200 titles released for one year only. Yellow children's issues would also be scarce due to child play abuse. The Sky Blue for international and Blue for old popular music standards as well as the ruby red for classical were often seen in box set "albums". Green was for country music and included the very first 45 single release (Texarkana Baby by Eddie Arnold).
Here is a picture of my RCA issues: |

||
I also have another called "Albums" that show various "Albums" from 78rpm sets, 45rpm sets, Extended Play singles (45's with more than one song per side) and the first Long Play albums which were actually 10" rather than the familiar 12" size. That is still to be staged and photographed.
Sorry for photographing these on a kitchen table but wanted to get something together as a quick reference for myself and to show others. ENJOY and hope this stirs up some familiar memories!?!?!
Eric
Thanks, Eric!
I believe this deserves its
own page, n'est pas? I'll try to take care of that tonight (I'm experiencing
some technical difficulties at the moment.....)
From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of
RI - 05/05/09 - "For
Eric (Huffstutler
- Bethel HS - '75 - of VA)
...":
The pepper is probably not the same...nothing else is the same...however we do lose taste buds as we get older...that is why some people want to eat only sweets...food just does not taste as good any more. Sorry...it may also be why your Grandmother peppered the eggs until they were black...my 86 year old Mamma does not want to eat very much but if you put a pecan pie in front of her, look out!!!
Thanks, Jean!
That was the explanation
offered by all my children here; I just thought there might be additional
extenuating circumstances.
From Sarah Puckett Kressaty ('65) of VA
- 05/03/09 - "When you thought I wasn't looking.......":
Good one!
WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
A message every
adult should read because children
are watching you and doing as you do,
not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my
first painting on the refrigerator,
and I immediately
wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a
stray cat,
and I learned that it was good to be kind
to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my
favorite cake for me,
and I learned that the little
things can be the special things in life.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a
prayer,
and I knew that there is a God I could always
talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a
meal and take it to a friend who was sick,
and I learned
that we all have to help take care of each
other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of
your time and money to help people who had
nothing,
and I learned that those who have something should
give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care
of our house and everyone in it,
and I learned we have
to take care of what we are given.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you
handled your responsibilities, even when you
didn't feel
well,
and I learned that I would have to be
responsible when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come
from your eyes,
and I learned that sometimes things
hurt, but it's all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you
cared,
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of
life's lessons
that I need to know to be a good and
productive person when I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and
wanted to say,
'Thanks for all the things I saw when
you thought I wasn't looking.'
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW
WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS,
BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER SEES.
LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT.
Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, and friend)
influences the life of a child.
How will you touch the life of someone today?
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.
AMEN!
Thanks,
Sarah Sugah!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 05/05/09 - "What
a relief.":
Hi, Carol:
Thank you for placing the passage from The Book of Mormon into context for us, for I shuddered when I read in it with respect to daily chores. Sure glad you clarified this for me.
So am I, Adonis - thanks!
I took the role of "Anybody?" and wrote to
Dr. Stephen M. Oppenheimer ('57 of CA) to ask
him if he is related to
Rick Oppenheimer, Class of 1964. If he is "Missing"
from the Class of 1964 contact list, we have to get crackin'. The TYPHOON stick
together.
Great photo of Marine Veteran,
Monty
Phillips ('62 - of VA). I can still see him carrying the Browning Automatic
Rifle (BAR). Marines of smaller stature were given this weapon since they made
smaller targets for the enemy, and the BAR did the talking for us.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
WOWZERS!
Thanks
so much, Joe!
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 05/05/09, 12:48 PM - "Class of 1964 NNHS":
Hi, Carol:
I have confirmed that
Stephen and
Rick Oppenheimer are brothers. Rick attended
Fork Union Military Academy and his brother Stephen was not aware of his being
in the NNHS Class of 1964.
Would it help to pass along contact information? ..... He resides in Boca Raton,
Florida.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
WOWZERONI!
That
helps immensely, Major Madagan - thanks so very much!

That explains where Rick went...would love to have his
contact info. He was good friends and a neighbor of my Best Friend
Anne Davidson (Matthis - '64 - of NC). He used to come over and hang out
with us sometimes...
Thanks, Jean - I've
forwarded his email addy to you!

From My #2 Daughter-in-Law,
Bethany Winona Harty
(Siuslaw HS, OR - '94) of TX -
05/05/09 - "New Wall Decorations
and Jewelry Holder":
Hey.....!
While
I was cleaning out the garage on Monday, I found a bunch of old pictures
(well, out dated, we'll say) and frames. I decided that I wanted to put up a
scripture
on the wall, and WordArt it. I
took 4 phrases, and put them in 4 - 4x6 frames, and made the larger passage
into an 8x10. I thought it looked pretty good
:)
And I used my favorite font, too
:) My friend Maren had an AWESOME jewelry holder, and I did my best to duplicate it with my limited resources. Hehehe. This is what I came up with. My hubby said that he'd make me a better one. Until then, I'm happy with my cutting board and finishing nails :) Bethany :) |

Bethany, you are so
wonderfully creative!
Thanks for being my daughter-in-law!
Oh, and Joe - that's another Book of Mormon scripture she split into five parts and framed:
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
