Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   I heard this Golden Oldie from 1964 playing on the television yesterday, and just couldn't resist.

HEALTH UPDATES:

1.   From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 05/20/09, 3:59 PM - "     Monty (Phillips - '62 - of VA) update":

Hello friends and family!

Last week, I took Monty to the surgeon on Tuesday morning and the oncologist in the afternoon.  The bothersome tube was removed.  He had a CAT scan on Wednesday and returned to the surgeon on Thursday morning.  The surgeon released him to the oncologist.  On Friday, my dear cousin,   Cookie (Phillips Tyndall - '64 - of VA) , took him for his first chemo treatment.  He did fairly well.  It was painful using the port for the first time since it was put in almost 4 weeks earlier.  Over the weekend, he always answered "Hanging in there" when asked how he was doing.  He was still pretty sore and having pain from the Cat scan experience (positions).  When I talked to him yesterday, he sounded so good, and then I took him some meds last night and saw a very tired looking Monty who was moving at a slow pace. It bothered me a lot.

I have done the same for you guys on the NNHS prayer roll.  I love to read that someone is improving. I am looking for updates from you, too.  I especially need to hear about        Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of IL), Fred (Rose),     Joe Wingo's ('65 - of NC) friend Ann (and Brett), Norm, and my cousin's daughter, Courtney.  Please let me know. 
 

PS
  Jerry's (Allen - '65 - of VA) knee is still giving out on him, but with less pain after cortisone.  He has an appointment next week to check out his back....but.....there are no signs of cancer.

   Thank you, Dear Judy!

2.      From Me ('65) of IL - 05/20/09 - "        Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of IL) Update":

   Dr. Ayres' office called me back this morning to tell me they had scheduled Paul's appointment with Dr. Purcell, the nephrologist, for Wednesday, June 3, 2009 in his Maryville office.  We're moving forward.

  From Charlie Snead ('64) of NC - 05/19/09 - "      Shari's Friend's Child":

I just spent a weekend at my daughter's to celebrate our grandson Sam's 3rd birthday. Our grandchildren are so very precious to us. I would also add the child's grandfather to the prayers. I'd need a lot for help me survive such an accident. I'm sure he will also.

It seems they have a handle on Paul's problems.

We'll keep praying.

God bless you, Charlie p.s.  Speaking of grandchildren, see attached!      AWWW! How adorable!

   Thank you so much, Charlie!

    From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of RI - 05/19/09 - "Hi from RI":

Hi Carol,

I just got back from visiting my mother on the sacred soil as you put it!  I hope Paul is feeling better soon.  Gall stones are extremely painful, from one who knows, and can cause pancreatitis and other complications when they are "of long standing"...had mine out when I was 40, not a minute too soon!  

Both of my children were with me for a couple of days this past week and it was sweet to have them together even for short time.  Mamma was glad to see all of us.  Came home to find rhododendrons in bloom (winter is almost over!).  

Love, Jean Burton

   Thanks so much, Jean!

       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 05/19/09 - "Class of 1958, 50th Reunion Class Photo":

A while back I received an e-mail from a photographer who was hoping to get the job for the Class Photo for the 64/45 Reunion. He attached some samples of his work, among which was the panoramic of the Class of 1958 50-Year Reunion.  I checked, and you do not already have it posted. So, it is attached for posting to their reunion page.

   WOWZERONI!!! Thanks so much, Dave! I easily recognized at least a baker's dozen, but to save myself some heavy duty embarrassment, I await official input from one of the members of the Class of 1958 before I attempt to label it. Meanwhile, I've posted it here:

The Unstoppable Virus

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one.   It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960.

Symptoms:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. done that!
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! done this too!
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. yep!
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. done that!
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment.  my worst symptom!
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. Oh, no - not again!
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." and I just hate that!
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh No!
IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS." 
 Hmmm....Have I already sent this to you?

   How should I know?!? Boy Howdy, can I relate! WILD GIGGLES! Thanks, Eva!

  From Carol Collier Sparrow ('63) of VA - 05/19/09 - "Give me that old time religion":

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the
'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car.''

      Thanks, Carol Lee! I'm reminder of another bumper sticker:

"If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?"

Success Principles - Success Comes Easily When We Ask the Right Question
By Linda McPharlin, Apr. 23, 2009
 

If you are finding success to be elusive and difficult to reach in relationships, money and careers, or happiness in general, you might be asking the wrong question. Often we as human beings ask “What’s in it for me?” whenever we are faced with any given opportunity. It seems to be this way in many cultures, certainly in business, and even embedded in our very nature.

Yet the what’s in it for me attitude never seems to work out the way we had hoped. We typically end up passing by relationships or opportunities that we deem to be ‘unprofitable’ somehow for us without really ever knowing what results would have been yielded. If we do jump on an opportunity, we may end up feeling shorted if our ‘return on investment’ does not end up being exactly what we thought it would be and miss seeing or taking advantage of other unexpected rewards.

What if we reversed this question of what’s in it for me to “what’s in ME for IT?” Instead of asking what will my returns be, ask what do I have to offer or contribute. This question sets a whole different tone—for evaluation, for course of action, and for performance.

It helps us to see if something is right for us in the first place. First, it makes us examine ourselves which is really the only thing we have control over anyway. It makes us take a good look at what we can offer and the best way to offer it whatever the situation or opportunity is. As we do this, we can clearly see if something is right for us to pursue based on who we are and what we have to contribute.

It helps us to have a positive course of action. As we place our focus on the opportunity, relationship, or even just our life rather than on how we feel or what we are getting, we can act in a generous and powerful way that lends itself to whatever we are contributing to with integrity.

Lastly, this all inspires us to be at our very best. With the reward essentially now being shifted to our level and effectiveness of contribution, we will be trying our very best to give all that we can give. Not only are we in top form, but we are guaranteed success because our measure stick for success is now based on our effort and our contribution. This becomes our reward, and it is something that we actually have complete control over. As a special bonus, the relationship, the project, the career and money, or again even just our lives in general become successful in popular opinion as well because of our choices, our positive course of action, and our inspired performance.

Why not give it a try? Instead of asking what’s in it for me, ask What’s in ME for it?
