Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

may even have had a secret. Oh, well, keep reading....

From One of my
Famous Marines - 
Herb Hice of MI, who
served in the Pacific Theater
during WWII - 06/01/06 - "Dear Carol, Red Roses, Yellow Roses":
|
|
Dear
Carol,
A Rose by any other color is still a Rose ( Shakespeare, I think). I thought you loved to smell RED ROSES ??? Your Friend, Herbie |
|
| Ahhh,
Herbie, you're expecting logic (or maturity, or constancy, or
consistency, or something) from me! My saying one color or another
rose is my favorite, is rather like my saying, "Ohhh, That's my favorite
song!" - which could mean any one of 5,000 or so.
I've always had a weakness for yellow roses because they seem rare and unusual to me, so they're my favorite. Red roses are of course, the color of love, so they're my favorite. I was once given a beautiful bouquet of pink roses, so they're my favorite. White roses seem so pure and lovely, so they're my favorite. I think what we have here
is that having the emotional maturity of a two year old child, I'm unusually
easy to please. Practically everything thrills and delights me.
Thanks, Sweetie!

From Chip Clark ('65) of Northern VA - 06/01/06 - "Images from the Tropics..":
| Hi there, Carol! Keep up the wonderful work on the webgathering place! Meanwhile, here are a few images from last week's work trip to Belize. These are all surface shots done with a Canon 5D digital camera. I'm sold on digital!... for a good example, I've included two detailed images from image 276 to illustrate what incredible detail is captured in a single digital image file... film just can't do that! When I get the underwater shots back from processing (I had to shoot film.. I don't have an underwater housing for the digital camera yet.. it's on backorder....) I'll send a few, if any of them worked... |

May 12, 2006 124 is the research station on Carrie Bow Cay.. quite a tiny island.. on an amazingly calm day after a night of thunderstorms that temporarily quieted the onshore breezes. |
May 15, 2006 327 Me sitting in the bow of the runabout in the lagoon of Twin Cays.. a mangrove island about a kilometer from the research station. The silvery attaché case is my waterproof "camera bag" on these boat outings. |
May 16, 2006 411 is a typical sunset from the island looking westward towards the Belizian mainland and the Maya Mountains. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
May 13, 2006 276 Sunset The social focus of the island: the beach table and chairs where folks congregate after a long day's science and cleaning up dive gear and cameras. This image is a grand example of why I'm in love with digital cameras... |
May 13, 2006 The next two images.. 276 Clientele and 276 Crab Trackway are both enlargements from this image.. loaded with detail and sharp as a tack! Wow! |

 |
 |
 |
|
|
Friday, May 19, 2006 495 Hermit crab.. the island is crawling with 'em. Some are in shells that have been painted up by various folks. You can get killed tripping over one of the big ones while you're walking around the island in the middle of a moonless night. |
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 707 The research and support crew during the trip: Left to Right: Me, Bob Sims (Botanist), Joel (Station Manager), Nadine (Damned Good Cook!), Jim Norris (Botanist & Principal Investigator), Kassi Cole (Icthyologist: larval fishes, visiting from Hawaii), Suzanne (Botanist, Professor, Lafayette Univ, Louisiana), Fred (Botanist, Rio, Brazil). |
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 731 Fred and me with some (but not all!) of our luggage ready for departure from Dangriga, Belize to the international airport in Belize City. Most of the luggage shown is mine. Seven bags; four checked bags and three carry-ons.. The extra baggage charges were almost more than my ticket price. They love me in airport security. |

Chippy Darlin'!
I was just thinking about you!
Thank you so much for these
glorious images! They are (of course) breathtaking and
absolutely incredible! That sunset, for instance - which you call
"typical" - is beyond extraordinary!
I haven't yet posted them
elsewhere. I'm still thinking........ but I'm really looking forward
to seeing the underwater shots, so I hope they turned out as beautifully
as these!

Gloria Woolard Price (Hampton
HS - '65) of FL to
Tom Norris (Hampton HS - '73) of VA - 06/02/06:
"Re:
High School USA"
|
I listened to "High School USA" again...... oh, boo, you're
right...... it is "North and South Hampton, too."
Oh, well, by saying Hampton (HS) at the very end, it's not "last,
but not least," it's "saving the best for last"!! :)
And thanks for the reminder that you can't crush a crab!!
WILD
GIGGLES!!! You crabbers are a hoot! Thanks, Gloria!
And thanks again, Tom, for that clarification!

"Happy Day" (#7 in a series of 9):

Hope every day is happy for you :) Have a Blessed Day
I would rather have one rose and a kind word
from a friend while I'm here |

WOWZERS!!! A dozen long-stemmed red roses!
Thanks so much, Stacy!

Today's issue was supposed to have contained quite a bit more, but I became rather ill this morning, and went back to sleep, thus squandering my day. There will be a bonus Newsletter tomorrow (can you guess the historical occasion??), so instead of making this another midnight edition, I'm going to cut it short here. |
Y'all take extra good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

Do You Want to Know a Secret?
Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 1963
(The Beatles)
You never know
how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo
I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo, oo
Now, this could be a really eye-opening Newsletter.
