Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Once more, just to play it safe, Sunday is Mother's Day for all the wives and mothers and significant others in your lives.
This "Friday" edition was obviously delayed - the reasons for which will become apparent later.

From Jamey Douglas Bacon ('66) of VA - 05/05/05:
JAMEY IS ALIVE! Yes, I
am alive. Linda Lane (Lane - '64 - of VA) told me people were looking
for me; I didn't think My first memory of NNHS was
coming to school, after begging Mr.
Maidment to let me transfer, and For some reason
I was never close to many
girls after Kay graduated; I guess because I worked most If you guys see this, try to
remember RICK OPPENHEIMER'S ('64) party. We got out of there before
Kay and I went to
Richmond to see our boys win the
basketball tournament. Those boys, Jimmy Ok, that's enough remember when. I am currently disabled but
I want to someday get back to the hospital and take care of babies. I have
Thanks, Carol, for starting
this cool Newsletter. You are
awesome; when I grow up I want to learn the Fondly, |
Well, Jamey,
of course we remember you! Unlike some of us who blended well with the
woodwork, you were a totally
unforgettable character! I've wondered about you for years. I can't
tell you how happy I am to hear from you!
I'm so sorry to
hear your story of Russell. Somebody (was it you, Jimmy Smith?) had
told me portions of that once before, but I
didn't retain it well. I usually do not retain sad stories well....
But everyone should have a Great Love, and I'm glad you had yours.
Say - how many
art teachers did we have, anyway?! I had Mrs. Janet Ellis in '63
(one of my favorites!) and Mr. Jack Waida
in '64; David Whitley ('67 of VA) has mentioned Mr. Norman Dehart
as one of his faves. Before all that there was Miss Belle
Fitzgerald ('58 - '62); the 1957 Anchor shows a Miss Chaffee with the
Art Club (but does not include her in the Faculty section);
the '56 Anchor pictures Miss Betty Shaffer - and I don't seem to
remember Mrs. Brown at all!
How neat that
you were caring for "our" babies! I am especially fond of fresh little
babies myself (which is why I had seven
of my own), but that must have been doubly special with the babies and
grandbabies of your friends.
Jamey, never apologize for
"rambling" and sharing your stories - this is precisely why we're all gathered
here together - we
delight in them! Thanks so much!
And we'd
love to see your images. Just be sure to send them to
NNHS65@yahoo.com
until I'm able to resolve my computer
issues. Unfortunately, I haven't had time in the last five years to learn
everything I needed to know about these lovely machines....

From Harron Ellenson ('65) of MA - 05/05/05:
Hi Carol:
You blew me away.
I am one of those people who checks out the site off and on depending on how
busy I am. I just went on and got
totally blown away by the
Passover wishes. I used to have the very cookbook you
are talking about, but have not
been able to find it for years. I was wishing that I had some of my mother's
old Passover recipes a few weeks ago,
and now you have given me back a treasure.
Thank you.
Best,
Harron
PS - I also want to note that we really are creating a virtual archive that at
some point scholars may just use to capture
not just our times in the 20th century but what we thought was important in the
21st.
WOWZERONI!
It always blows me away to hear from you, Harron!
I had no idea you didn't still have a
copy of that marvelous cookbook! Well, until I can make other
arrangements, I'll scan you
some more recipes next week.
I really appreciate your kind words; they mean a great deal to me.

Oh, how quaint! And I've (not surprisingly) no idea of its exact address in Buckroe. Readers???
Thanks so much, David! I'll post it on the Buckroe page shortly.
By the way, Dave told me that so far no one has taken advantage of his
incredible (my word, not his!) offer for images of
YOUR Old Stomping Grounds! Y'all better hurry before I beat you to it!

From Me ('65) of NC - 05/07/05 - WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES.........
Okay,
back to Miles (Nowitzky - Granby HS - '50). As you might recall, in
the five weeks he's been ill, his condition seemed
to swing from good to bad, from hopeful to hopeless, every other day. On
Wednesday, May 4, he had improved to such an extent
that his doctor told him that he would probably be released to return home on
Wednesday, May 11. But on Thursday, he developed
some horrible breathing problem, the details of which have eluded me, and he was
placed back on a ventilator.
On Friday, May
6, instead of his bouncing right back again as he has in the past, my sister
(Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky - '59)
received a 2:00 AM call from the hospital telling her to return immediately.
When she arrived, Miles was alert and well enough
looking that she asked the staff why she was summoned. They told her that
his blood pressure had plummeted to dangerous levels.
They enjoyed some real quality time together, and then Miles (who had lost 35
pounds during this ordeal) began to have extreme
swelling of his abdomen. After joking about his "triplets", at 11:00 AM he
was taken to exploratory surgery to determine the cause,
whether it was an infection or something that could be stitched back together.
What they found
was that his small intestine had deteriorated to such an extent that it could
not be repaired - no stitching, no cutting
and pasting, it simply wasn't viable. They stitched him back together, and
said that this time, there really was nothing more that they
could do, and that his earthly time was very short, and further, that he
probably would not regain consciousness.
Paul and
Adrienne and I were at the hospital last night from about 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM,
along with a steady stream of Miles' and
Eleanor's closest friends. The hospital staff was marvelous, gracious, and
kind to all of us. They said that even though he couldn't
answer, that Miles could hear and understand what we told him - so we did.
We all laughed and cried together, and recited old
stories and adventures, and tried to sing him his old silly songs of which only
he knew all the words and verses, and told him how
much we loved him, and how deeply he had enriched and blessed our lives, and
thanked him, and kissed him goodbye.
Miles held on
until 12:20 this morning, then he opened his eyes and looked at his wife and
grandson for a moment or two, and
slipped peacefully away. The visitation will be here in Fayetteville on
Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM at the Fayetteville West Stake
Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Morganton Road,
with the funeral to follow at 10:00 AM. After a light
luncheon, we will then drive up to Norfolk for the 4:00 PM burial at Forest Lawn
Cemetery.
If you're able to join us there, we would welcome you with open arms..
Miles' second son, Norman, died on February 18, two weeks after his 45th birthday:
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/02-18-05-NNHS-Norman-Nowitzky.html
He and Eleanor celebrated their 36th wedding Anniversary on March 6.
So the doctor
was right. Miles will be going home next Wednesday; it just won't
be the home we all had in mind. This wasn't the
plan any of us would have chosen, but then, of course, we are not the ones in
charge of The Plan.
And yes - Mama said there'd be days like this.
Thank you once again for your much appreciated love, prayers, and concern through all of this. You are simply the best!
Y'all take care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

Mama Said
(The Shirelles, 1961)
Mama said
there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
I went walking the other day,
Everything was going fine,
I met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
My eyes are wide open
But all that I can see is,
Chapel bells are callin' for everyone but-a me
But I don't worry 'cause
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
And then she said someone will look at me
Like I'm looking at you one day,
Then I might find
I don't want it any old way,
So I don't worry 'cause
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this Mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this,
There'll be days like this my Mama said
Mama said, mama said
Hey! Don't you worry,
Mama said mama said
Hey! Don't you worry now.
Mama said mama said,
Hey! Hey!
