And now you
understand the meaning of today's theme!

OH, WOW!!!
This is beautiful! Thanks,

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 05/19/07 - "
Mrs. Baker's Chemistry Class":
Wayyyyy back on 11 March 2004,
Jim Brinkley ('65 - of IA)
replied to my entry of 9 May 2003 concerning our subliminal bird call plot
against Mrs. Baker's sanity.
He wrote, in part: "I was surprised to read my name as the class clown in his
article on Mrs. Baker, our chemistry teacher. I don't remember making the bird
calls ......"
His amnesia about this has always gnawed at me for some reason, and now I know
why. While looking through my 1963 Anchor at the written entries on final page,
I came across this:
![]() |
C'mom, Jim. 'Fess up. The statute of limitations on this has long expired.
AHA!!!
You are exonerated!
I love it when irrefutable proof is found! Thanks, David!
|
|
And it gets even better. I now have confirmation that our cohort in crime was none other than James Smith '65.
![]() |
![]() |
And .... it gets even better than that. Mr. Brinkley had THIS to say in my 1964 Anchor: |
![]() |
||
BTW, the "Scrouch/Scrooch" in Brinkley's entries refer
to a sort of "gang" identity word which we used. The use of that word tells me
that
Jay
Bluxome ('64) was somehow involved in all this.
Now, as for the "Woodchucks", even my recollection is foggy, but I believe that
it was the informal group name for the "Make Baker Crazy Club" in her Chemistry
class.
Anyway, Mr. Brinkley's memory of this affair was so vivid that he mentioned it
in not one, but two Anchors ... the last a full two years after the event.
WILD GIGGLES!!!
Thanks again, Dave!
And to complete the page, here
is her obit from the DP:
VIRGINIA LEE
BAKER
Daily Press - Newport News, Va.
Date: Nov 10, 1999
Mrs. Virginia Lee Baker , 89, died Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1999. A native of Cape
Charles, she was the daughter of O.V. and Ruth Tilghman.
Mrs. Baker graduated from Randolph Macon Women's College and was a teacher
in the Newport News school system for 31 years. She was a member of Chestnut
Memorial Methodist Church and was actively involved in the Clyde Smith
Sunday School Class, the United Methodist Women and the Live Wires. She
spent many years as a volunteer at Riverside Hospital and was a docent at
The Mariners' Museum. She was also a member of the Newport News Women's
Club, the Alpha Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma and the Retired Teachers
Association.
Mrs. Baker was preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd M. Baker . Survivors
include her daughter, Nancy Cooper, and her husband, Lawrence, of Gloucester
Point; her son, Paul Douglas Baker of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; four
grandchildren, Tray Cooper of Hampton, Stacy Bowman of Quinton, and Hilliary

WOWZERONI!!!
Thank you so much, Brown Eyes!

From Donna Price Devers ('66) of NC - 05/19/07 - "Questions...":
Yes, ma'am!
I received your check!
Thanks so much!
Surely, it's cleared your bank by now!
The email problems are much more complicated than that. I do maintain two lists, one in my Yahoo address book for back up purposes, and one on a document for everyday use.
Because I send out announcements to more than 500 people within, say, a twenty minute period, in Yahoo's eyes I am a spammer. Even my own mail to myself ends up in my bulk folder rather than my inbox.
There are also Barracuda Spam Firewalls at work now. They became more rigid in February - possibly when my mailing list hit some Magic Number.
Then there's the matter of the 00freehost server itself. Because it also carries websites of an adult nature, many email addies (particularly business ones) simply do not let it pass through their portals.
The very thought of switching servers to compensate for that makes me physically ill.
Dale will be coming home in a few weeks. I think he may have some answers to deal with at least some of these problems. This is why I keep asking people just to check the site itself, rather than waiting for my email announcements - which may very well be getting "Lost in Space".
But rest
assured, Donna, you are on my mailing list!
From
Al Simms
('60) of VA - 05/20/07 - "Shipyard":
Oh, Al, of course, I'm interested!
The shipyard section was one of our very first sections, but it is heavy on
images and a bit light on text. Too, because of it's title, it (and
several other OOSG sections) are in effect "hiding.
I'm planning to double-post many of these to facilitate their ready access in the near future. For now, you can find these listings:

Time does fly, n'est pas?? Thanks
again, Raoul!

From Robert Price ('61) of VA - 05/22/07 - "From
Raoul Weinstein ('57) of FL to
Joe
Madagan ('57) of FL - 05/18/07 - '50 years
ago today!!'":
That was really strange, I was just thinking about that relay team. I had been
watching a collegiate track meet and thinking about NNHS's past relay teams.
While I didn’t see the race Raoul talks about, I did hear about it. I did get to
witness many superb quarter milers at
NNHS.
(Richard) Coltrain ('57) and the others were the guys that were
around when I first started running at NNHS. NNHS had some really good mile
relay teams before and after my time. Besides those runners mentioned by Raoul
there were Gene Duncan ('60 - of VA), Jimmy Hall ('61), Norman Dick ('60 - of
TN),
Skip Wood ('65 - of NC), Brent Parkins ('66), Bill Ward ('64 - of VA),
Fred Anspach ('64 - of VA), just to name a few off the top of my head that
really stood out on the mile relay teams. Guys like Woods, Ward, and Dick really
stood out on the third leg of the relay teams and would surprise the other teams
as the ‘whose that’ third leg would open a lead or hang in when they shouldn’t
and then hand off to a usually outstanding anchor like Duncan, Anspach or
Jimmy Cutler. Who could forget Jimmy Cutler’s come from way behind 48 second
anchor leg at the state meet to win the mile relay.
Sorry I’m not as poetic as Raoul but I do understand how those memories linger
and inspire. Thanks Raoul! I think I’ll go for a run...
Robert Price ‘61
Thanks, Robert!
I enjoyed your look back in time - almost as much as I enjoyed those
track meets!
From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 05/22/07:
WOWZERS!!! Thanks again, Fred!
Take care Carol, Fred Mays, '60
I saw that listing too, Fred, and I must admit, it gave me quite a start! But you were right the first time. "Our" Miss Suttle died in Mar of 1964 at the age of 67

From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 05/22/07 - "Fort
Monroe, Sherwood Inn &
YMCA":
Many moons ago, Joe asked me to capture some "Now" images to match the "Then"
images on the web site. That opportunity presented itself today, and here are
the results.
Before we get to the photos, I want to point out an interesting about the
casemate. As I trod along about 100 yards on the ridge of the battlements, I
noticed that it was almost continuously lined with small grave markers. A quick
look at the inscriptions revealed that they all belong to deceased pets, most
likely owned and loved by former residents on Post. It was quite touching to
read the many memorials to beloved companions. The oldest I saw was dated 1950,
but I am sure that there would be older ones.
OK, here goes.....
OOOH, how gloriously
beautiful! Thank you so very much, David!
I think y'all will enjoy seeing the good Captain's gorgeous new pictures directly on their pages (and besides, think of the space I'll save - GIGGLES!!!), so go take some peeks:

From
Tom Norris
(Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 05/22/07 -
"Frank Guida":
As a collector of rock and roll
music, as well as that of local Tidewater acts, I have a lot of Frank Guida-influenced
titles. One could arguably make a case for having the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame
here in Tidewater instead of Cleveland. Gene Vincent, Gary US Bonds, Lenis
Guess, Jimmy Soul, The Five Keys (from Newport News!), Bill Deal & The Rhondels,
and many more ..... all charted nationally and all had their musical roots right
here.
On one album of mine there is a quote from Dick Clark ... that stated "Quarter
To Three (Bonds' smash hit from '61) saved my show from extinction".
If you hear me DJing a car show you'll hear lots of local music .... from back
in the good ol' days! If anyone has copies of local band songs (Danny & The
Delnotes, Nightlighters, etc.) please contact me. I'm also looking for air checks
(off the radio recordings) from WGH in the 1960s.
Krabbingly yours ....
Da Babe
Thanks, Babe. I posted your remarks on Mr. Guida's Memorial Newsletter:

I'll make her Memorial Newsletter tomorrow morning at the peak of dawn when I can see her complete obituary, but y'all be advised that the visitation is tomorrow evening in Hampton.
I'm still in Tampa for another week and would have visited her if I had known she was so close by. Today is the last day of school for our grand kids. Now it is which park do we visit this weekend. My vote is Sea World as we already have 2 year passes.
Sea World sounds good to me! Have fun wi' yo babies!
Glad to know you are feeling better. I'll call when I get home.
Love,
Linda

Diana
- Paul Anka
I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please, stay by me, Diana
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please, stay with me, Diana
Oh my darlin', oh my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, ho-ho-hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with a-all your might
Oh, please, stay by me Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
