Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm convinced that here in Fayetteville it could rain an inch and a half every day for a month, and the newscasters would still say, "That's nice, but we still have drought conditions here, and water restrictions are still in place."

From the Head
Cheerleader of 1958, Evelyn Fryer Fish of TX
- 05/10/08:
Beverly Powell Roberts
('57) who also passed away. Lizzie would have turned 90 in
February. She was preceded in death by her husband, Shorty Powell. She
was so much a part of our lives:
Evelyn Casey Snead ('57 - of VA), Harry
Veazey ('56),
Bucky
(Keller - '58),
Thelma
(Spade Roberts - '57), Bo ('56) and Wimpy
Roberts, I, and many others hung out at her house through our teens. We
loved her for putting up with all of us. And we are all left with Wonderful
Memories.
Evelyn, I'm so sorry
to hear this! I've been
watching for her obituary both in Colorado and Virginia, so that I can create a
Memorial Newsletter for her, but so far have not seen one. If you find it
before I do, please let me know - thanks! 
From Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN - 05/11/08 - "Name of Soda Shop":
Hi Carol,
|
..... A while back there was some
discussion of the Dairy Queen on the
corner of Hickory Avenue and 25th Street. In the same block of 25th
Street on the corner of Pear Avenue was a soda shop that was run by a
Mr. and Mrs. Evans. It was the local teen hangout for the
neighborhood. Does anyone out there remember the name of that soda shop?
It may be as simple as the Evans Soda Shop but I think it might have had
another name, possibly a two letter name.
The two pictures are from Microsoft Virtual
Earth.

WOWZERONI-RINI!!!
Thank you, Sydney!
While I have many vivid and varied memories of my beloved Dairy Queen, they do
not extend to a nearby soda shop, so this is but another question we'll
need to turn over to the rest of the class.
"Anyone? Anyone?"

Thank
you, Shari!
This
is a very valuable site!
Though you certainly wouldn't know it to look at me now, I've gone without food for (shall we say) somewhat extended periods of time at four or five points in my life. I can testify to you that it is not a fun time. It was trial I did not bear particularly well. I've sold plasma (and been extremely thankful for the money received!), lived on potatoes (from a relative's garden) almost exclusively for eight months, and a number of other equally unpleasant scenarios I'd just as soon forget. The gnawing hunger pangs tend to render one unable to focus on the more important parts of life - even upon finding solutions....
From
Jerry ('65) and
Judy Phillips ('66) Allen of VA
- 05/12/08 - "Wonderful Thoughts":
thoughts.....
Anger
is a condition in which
the tongue works faster than the mind.
You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future !
|
Love...and you shall be loved.
|
|
Everyone needs to be loved...
especially when they do not
deserve it.
The real measure of a man's wealth
is what he has invested in eternity.
Thank God for what you have, TRUST GOD for what you need.
|
Laughter is God's sunshine. Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.
It's important for parents to live
the same things they teach. |
If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow,
you have no today to be thankful for.
Man looks at outward appearance
but the Lord looks within.
|
The choice you make today
will usually affect tomorrow.
Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.  |
Patience is the ability to idle your motor
when you feel like stripping your gears.
Love is strengthened by working
through conflicts together.
|
|
Harsh words break no bones
but
they do break hearts.
To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for. |
 |
Love is the only thing that can be
divided without being diminished.
Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others. |
|
For every minute you are angry with someone,
you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back. Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are.
|
|
This is so beautiful - and so important to remember! Thanks
very much, Sweetie-Pies!
From Karrin Williams Frankie (Warwick HS - '61) of VA - 05/12/08 - "Update on CHELSEA COOK and her project at the Science Fair":

Here are pictures of
Chelsea's display and one with her. Just want to say thanks to all who have
supported this special lady for VA-O for the Federation for the Blind.
Thanks again. The other night on the Ice Cream Ride she told Joe that she plans to become the First Blind Lady Astronaut!
What great spirit Chelsea has! Thanks for the update, Karrin!

Nancy Lewis Crawford (Princess
Anne HS - '66) of VA - 05/12/08 - "Nancy Carmen Lewis
(Crawford)":
Richie Allen ('66 - of VA)
found me and told me about
Bill Black's ('66 - of GA)
coming to the area for a reading of
his play. My husband and
I went to the reading. It was really great to re-unite with my first
boyfriend, Bill and catch up after all this time. I also read his recent
comment on the NNHS newsletter.... what a guy.
Thanks, Nancy!
Hopefully, you've been on the
mailing list for several days now, but I did add a bit to your name on the
"Alumni" Page:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/alumni-1966-n-after.html
On the other hand,
my email, both incoming and outgoing, seems to have gone a bit berserk as of
late.....
EDITOR'S NOTE: Nancy Carmen Lewis Crawford (PAHS - '66) of VA is not to be confused with Nancy Thomas Lewis Vick ('65) of KY?? who attended Magruder and Walter Reed Schools before NNHS. She also was raised as a Baptist, but attended Orcutt Avenue Baptist Church, if my memory serves me.

That would be doubly
cool, Frances, so I'm all too happy to post this!
Have a great time!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 05/12/08 - "Acts 2:38":
My kinda girl
Sometimes the threat of guns will
work!
An elderly woman had just returned to her home
from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder.
She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled:
''Stop! Acts 2:38!'' (..... Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the
name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost..)
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and
explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: ''Why did
you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.''
''Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!''
Send this to someone who needs a laugh today and remember: Knowing scripture can
save your life - in more ways than one.
AMEN!!!
Thanks, Norris!

Words and Music

Eddie Rabbitt,
1970
(27 Nov 1941 - 7 May 1998)
(Elvis
Presley)
(8 Jan 1935 - 16 Aug 1977)
Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Don't know why you'd run
What you're running to or from
All I know, is I want to bring you home
So I'm walkin' in the rain
Thumbin' for a ride
On this lonely, Kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too long
My love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pourin' down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes
(rain in my shoes)
Searchin' for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
Showed your photographs
To some old, gray bearded men
Sitting on a bench
Outside a general store
They said, "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
"Was it yesterday?
No wait, the day before."
Finally got a ride
With a preacher man who asked,
"Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you
Kentucky rain keeps pourin' down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walkin' thru
With the rain in my shoes
(rain in my shoes)
Searchin' for you
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
In the cold Kentucky rain
